Björk’s new video for “Wanderlust.”

only someone like Björk, doing something as epic as this can get me to jump out of my lazyness and finally post again.

a beautiful video.

a brief message.

“Change is the watchword of the day, driving business and politics and society. But, there’s a new form of change on the horizon; we’re heading into a constrained environment where the designer’s artistry and craft will have to encourage what lasts, what matters, what sustains.”

I would actually very much so like to return to NYC right now, if only to see this wonderful installation by Cai Guo-Qiang at the Guggenheim.

Justice – DVNO (official)

director so-me (atleast i assume it’s him, as he always directs ed banger stuff it seems) should become a logo designer. as basically this entire video is him creating dozens of identities out of the lyrics to the song “DVNO” by Justice.

pretty cool stuff, whether you like Justice or not.

a lesson in history.

i figured i don’t post nearly enough beautiful work from the past, so i figured that i really should, as i feel design in the past is just as important as that in the present.

this is Adolphe Mouron Cassandre‘s three part series of posters for Dubonnet wine. this has always been one of my (many) favourite pieces in design history. they’re beautifully illustrated, and as the series progresses, the name fills up. he also creates a play on words in french, Dubo (for du beau – handsome – as he looks at it), Dubon (for du bon – good – as he’s drinking it), and then finally the name of the wine he’s refilling.

i don’t think i post nearly enough about object design, and I really should change that – starting now.

these are probably the coolest speakers i’ve ever seen. a pair of giant iPod earbuds. amazing.

you can buy them here.
