/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Gifted Co

First 100 people to pre-order the calendar as early supporter of the Gifted Co project will get some exclusive goodies!

What a niiiice project and website. Love the shift between white and gray background and keeping to a strict color grid that makes for a very pleasant UX.

Nice play on words: ‘gifted’ meant as ‘talented’.

‘Little Printer’

Little Printer‘ is all over the Internet this am.

Just scrolled the FastCo article – more pix available than on original website which is – imo – very unfortunate since I always like to go to the ‘source’- why not capitalize on branding the device publicly instead of circulating an obscure (kinda) web page.

Never never p.r. your material and not post on your own website.

_______

Webpage has changed since first visiting early this am.

________

Not withstanding above – this is a cute (and promising) device.

Tattly oo/

Now these are meant for provoking serious fun at reunions – parties – product / exhibit launch! Have a look at Tattly – designy temporary tattoos – and all – very reasonably priced.

Pay attention to how the domain name is spelled: tatt.ly. Nice logo and as nice website. Load of negative space – makes all items pop!

Happy digging.

_______

T/ Sketchbook

Another original super original product by Burak Kaynak: T-Shirt Sketchbook, who brought us the Disk-It sticky notes and WC/CV toilet paper roll and the Like Button tip box.

Doodle – practice – design yours.

Vetted objects

Formed in the summer of 2010 by graphic designer Antonio Carusone, Vetted evolved from an overwhelming obsession and passion for well designed objects.

Found the Unit Portables Unit 01 shoulder bag.

Wanna more cool objects I found?

Kiwi&Pom

Kiwi&Pom is a London based design consultancy who have been creating human experiences since 2008. From products to furniture and interior architecture, they believe that the value of design is the human experience it provokes.

Moder meets retro-modern mixing new tech and homy.

Present / & / Correct

Present / & / Correct opened its virtual doors in 2008. A place for their own designs, things they love by other designers from around the world and vintage items which they discover around Europe, and sometimes further afield.

It’s a showcase for the things they have enjoyed since school. A long-term obsession with stationery has culminated in a constantly evolving store.

Perfect website / store. Outstanding selection and well-organized presentation. Luv the background – reminds me of the draft paper I use sometimes for mock-ups.
