Hapchanced on the FLIGHT 001 (pronounced flight one) Manhattan store years ago! The brand was conceived in 1998 aboard Air France flight 023 somewhere between New York and Paris. John Sencion and Brad John were two business travelers who had spent far too much time preparing for their trip envisioned a travel store as streamlined as flight itself.
When not curating the best travel products in the world, they continue to develop travel products for the world.

Now if you want to have a superb experience designing your own casing – head-on out to Case-Mate: I Make My Case. Right-on! Find an artist you like (from a decent roster), pick an available case or design yours from a blank with the bits and pieces supplied by each artist. Paint, colorize, mirror or kaleidoscope it in real time and.. the best part? Own it for a reasonable price.
Smart push stating how the artists would have done it, and you can buy pre-designed ones too.

Corporations endorsed Helvetica as the font to use. Others design posters and packaging in Helvetica. Others dream of possibilities and make a film about Helvetica. While others cook with Helvetica?!?! Thanks to Beverly Hsu who created the Helvetica cookie-cutters.
Now that’s font-luving dedication.

“There has been little development of the toaster since the start of the century, whilst other appliances have developed and improved incorporating new technologies and thinking, toaster have remained relatively untouched.”
Well George Watson just reinvented it!

Cool laptop bags website just launched: Bythreads. Behind a graphic design firm from Denmark. But there’s more to it.
They produce the bags in Vietnam. They have a full-disclosure policy. The artisans have a stake in the company. They chose the long road to quality instead of the usual expedite one (short-term profits by having the lowest expenses usually equalling in cheap labor and we, know what that is, and we, are strongly against any). So they do business with heart? How’s that as a paradigm?
Quite a story!
