The Wilkinson Residence
14 years ago
Growing up in rural Minnesota, I spent many summer days climbing trees with my older sister in our nine acre lot on the lake. The best climbing trees were Willow Trees. Once I was up in a tree I would envision “rooms” like the rooms you’d find in a house. I was a better tree climber than my sister, so I was opinionated about what room went where in the tree. I was also a little lighter than her, so my “bedroom” was always at the very top of the tree…the part she couldn’t climb to (it was a good way to keep her out).
Needless to say, I’ve always been fascinated with trees, and especially with the idea of living in a tree. My pipe dream is to have a tree-house vacation home up in the woods. The Wilkinson Residence in Oregon is very inspirational. It was designed by Robert Harvey Oshatz. For more images click here
Bite Silverware by Mark Reigelman
14 years ago
This unique silverware called “Bite” was designed by Mark Reigelman to draw attention to the ongoing global eating problems. Starvation and obesity are dangerous diseases which must be addressed. As some people refuse to eat, driving themselves to exhaustion, or starve because they are unable to earn their bread, others are eating fat-calorie food. Mark A. Reigelman II sincerely hopes to draw attention to these two issues through his design project.
The silverware is original and eye catching and I hope his designs do get recognized.
Print Society

The Print Society claims they are the best place to search for art that you can actually buy, and that they are the easiest and most effective way for artists and galleries to sell their prints.
While browsing the site weeks ago, I was drawn to this amazing and cute photographer named Joakim Boren. Joakim Boren is a Stockholm born photographer who documents historically significant architectural projects using the stark visual language of his large format camera to record socio-economic and political issues of contemporary society in the United Kingdom. His work can be purchased at Eye Buy Art at a reasonable rate. Go check him, and other artists out at Print Society and Eye Buy Art.

Pet Peeve Tags Series
14 years ago
Graphic design student Brittany Harriman, based in Sarasota, Florida, has developed a series of “Pet Peeve Tags” that allow one to confront their nemeses in a manner that is both discreet and stylish. Others like me who get frustrated with slow walkers can hand out tags with helpful inscription “OMFG! Move out of the way!” The tags, which address issues such as slow-walking, back-washing, and failure to wash one’s hands, are hand printed with iconic imagery that any potential offender can appreciate, and hopefully, understand.
Decor Bust: Talking Pillow Series
14 years ago
These pillows are my favorite. The coloring on them is simple enough to go with multiple colorways, which makes the pillows very desirable (to me at least) The pillows, along with many other cool home items were designed by Egor Bashakov. And though it doesn’t look like the pillows are for sale anywhere, I still recommend you check out Egor’s flickr account to find images of some of his pieces.
