And it’s also ok to take this entire crisis with some humor… like the ladies at designglut did… when they came up with the Dow Jones Hankey! Displaying the performance from 2004-2009.

For $95  they’ll embroider the graph of your stock portfolio… oh wouldn’t that make a nice farewell present for your portfolio manager…

Atop Cape Town’s  Grand Daddy Hotel is a trailer park like you’ve never seen before.

Cape Town design studio Whatiftheworld put together seven Airstream vintage trailers, each hosting a different theme by a local artist.

Parisean archtictectrual firm Joseph Driand are one of the best when it comes to creating the luxury of pure minimalism. I admire their work… oh and yes… i also wouldn’t mind this 5th Ave apartment:

Check out Thomas Forsyth’s drawing tops… and hey… why not give it a spin yourself?!

Drawing Tops
A spinning-top, that uses a pen as the spindle, represents many of the core ideas behind my current work. It is recognisable, un-intimidating, and invites people to interact with objects that can lead to unpredictable results, or an emergent property. Simply through indulging in the enjoyable process of spinning the top a bi-product is created. Where the pen marks the surface, a beautiful map of the experience and events that have occurred is produced. I am able to draw, but I am not particularly talented at it and yet found that, through the interaction with these objects, I have created drawings that I am more proud of than any I have done before.

Why not have a go…

This Norwegian girl broke up with her boyfriend and decided to redo her apartment… Despite the black… i doubt she’s still grieving about the guy

Another one of my all time style heroes… Jonathan Adler. I love his new Philippe Ottoman!

And yes… this is why:

Our new Philippe Ottoman is swanky, masculine, and modern. It’s the least fussy, most modern version of the ottoman coffee table. Crisp, clubby, confident, Don Draper-ish, very YOU!

After a recent stay in Miami… i thought i couldn’t be further away from promoting any piece of clothing with Swarovskys or any other kind of bling on it…

Dorothy Perkins made me reconsider:

Girls… Go buy one!

New York got it’s new Standard Hotel… which looks to me like the United Nations for Meatpackers… Love the view! Love the Standard!
