Danish Designer Lene has created a capsule collection of patterns that can be used together to softly transition one print to another seamlessly within a room. It is quite unlike anything I have seen before and I think the ability to define interior spaces with a merging pattern {rather than two entirely different ones} is a fantastic and unique idea, especially with so many people living in open-plan housing and apartments these days!

Beautiful concept for wallpaper to transition from 1 space to the next! Simply lovely.

Are you curious to know how people live on the other side of the world? What does Moscow look like between three and four in the afternoon? What happens in Rio de Janeiro between eleven and twelve  at night?

In City One Minutes life in each city is divided into 24 one minute portraits, each depicting one hour of the day.  Every film is a personal impression of the city in which the artist lives or in which he is staying.

On cityoneminutes.org you can browse through time and place in a number of ways. For example: Follow the life in Beijing throughout 24 hours; explore life in each city between 5 and 6 in the morning; watch all the films in a mosaic of cities.

Gorgeous, ain’t it? Yours with purchases of the 2009 FW collection in excess of HKD8,999.00 (about USD1,161.00) at Maison Martin Margiela. I’m not much of a mahjong person, but even I want me one of these limited edition babies.

Scratch by Doug Pray (music documentary, 2000, 92 min, 35mm)

This electrifying documentary is a tribute to the innovative art of DJing, featuring legendary figures DJ Shadow, Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys), Afrika Bambaataa, and Jazzy Jay, among others. A deeply insightful historical document and a highly entertaining glimpse into the world of underground hip-hop, the film features “the world's best scratchers, beat-diggers, party-rockers, and producers wax[ing] poetic on beats, breaks, battles, and the infinite possibilities of vinyl.”

I saw the documentary this past weekend at the ICA. Such an interesting culture that I never knew about, with some very unique sounds that make record scratching or 'turntablism' like a new type of musical instrument.

Visitors sometimes ask why Ziba executives have no offices, why they sprinkle themselves among new recruits and midlevel staffers.
"You've got to feel comfortable with who you are and what you've accomplished," Vossoughi says. "If you're not comfortable with that, you do things like getting yourself a better chair than everybody else."

"We're not very good at settling," he says. "You stick the flag in the ground and move on to the next place."

Oh this is wonderful. Great excuse for those of us who don't have children (yet) and use the kid as an excuse to leave the office early on a gorgeous summer day! Hilarious.

And because we know you're concerned: yes, you can pick out your kid's gender and ethnicity. (Finally, something you and Madonna have in common.) And for a little extra veracity (since clearly you care about veracity), they'll even Photoshop you into a sports team photo.

Insightful. Short and sweet.

Lovely visualized concept!
Reminds me of the Street Urinals in London that are put out at night and taken away by day.
