Omer just had one hell of a week! He has been awarded the Ronald J. Thom Award for Early Design Achievement (awarded by the Canadian Arts Council) and the World Architecture Festival shortlisted Arbel’s 23.2 House design.
Listen to a recent interview with Omer re: these achievements and more; here
Congratulations Omer
I am not a gamer but this is really interesting:
My new kicks:
“At Quoddy, one person handsews your shoes at their bench – the quality of that pair is a testament to the individual skill that went into making them.”
Most Awesomest Thing Ever > this is so funny
S/Double > Shawn Stussy has launched an online store for his new brand – in case you didn’t know; he cut ties with the stussy brand more than a decade ago – he also has a great blog
Does the world need another chair? > No! – but this one is pretty cool
These links are all behind the scenes videos of stuff getting made:
John Lobb Shoes > the very best of British Craft – “We’ve turned our faces against machines”
Outlier Tailored Performance > technical urban/cycling apparel
Furni Creations > Montreal based studio that makes nick-knacks (clocks, bags, etc)
CreativeMornings > interesting video with Allan Chochinov, editor-in-chief of Core77.com – cheeky talk about the hole in the bucket
Final Cut Saw Blade > cuts and sands at the same time – wow!
Made.com > cut out the middle man (for furniture) – a startup company
Time to Rethink Design > I couldn’t agree more
I am trying out Google’s browser (Chrome) on my home computer – Over all I like it but it does not allow me to seamlessly integrate my Delicious account into it like Firefox does (this is because Delicious is a Yahoo service). So… I am going to try to start archiving interesting links in my blog. Here are the first two:
If your product is Great, it doesn’t need to be Good. > great article from the creator of gmail (Paul Buchheit)
Them Things > Amazing (and I mean really amazing) collection of images
