If you don’t know De La Espada furniture you should cruise over to their website and check it out. Be sure to check out their sister brand, Atlantico as well. It’s similar in style to Seattle’s own Henrybuilt.com and overall very hard to find fault with this stuff. Solid wood and very, very cool.
I just discovered Monocle magazine. Launched in February 2007, Monocle is a global briefing covering international affairs, business, culture and design and it is VERY well done. Most new magazines don’t make it but this one is a seriously professional affair. I wish them well. Get your hands on it!
Like many who came before me, I’ve always liked Helvetica. It’s so…neutral. Yet somehow makes being neutral look so cool. So cool in fact that I wanted to make some fun patterns with nothing other than variations of the famous font family.
