DESIGNing
Resource Furniture has brought their engineering game to kick some serious ass in the space saving game. It’s not enough for a piece of furniture to just look good anymore, it’s got to be smart as well.

We’ve been running around the Fuseproject site lately, Yves Bahar’s brainchild of industrial design + marketing. The concept goes beyond design and involves the story. In a nutshell we dig it.

Leave it to the Dutch to reorganize website navigation into a bare-bones interface called CatalogTree that will consume hours of your day.

Tableau is integrating graphic design with internet smarts. The site puts horse-power behind your visuals and is becoming a very powerful tool.
-thanks to Darlin

The down and dirty nature of letter presses has been grabbing our attention lately. We were impressed by a series of workshops put together by Levis.

Another great show to hit in Seattle is the annual architectural model show put on by the Seattle Architecture Foundation. The show is located in downtown Seattle at 1124 1st Ave.

NETWORKing
Heard of the Summit Series?  Modeled in part on TED but specifically geared toward up-and-coming entrepreneurs who would rather ski, kayak, and surf than hang around in hotel lobbies and swap business cards. We had the opportunity of having dinner with one of the founders recently and this group is worth keeping a pulse on.
-thanks to Chase

BUILDing
We’re big fans of Cecil Balmond and Anish Kapoor and we couldn’t be happier to see that both have teamed up on a new sculpture called Temenos.
-thanks to Kevin

We’re not quite sure why we had never heard of Stiltsville, but we were fascinated to find the photos and read about it’s history.
-thanks to Brian R

This Vanity Fair photo tour of modern architectural marvels was a good refresher course for us.

FILMing
These time-lapse films of Vancouver B.C. and Coachella in Palm Springs are beautiful and engaging.

Recently, we recommended that a friend watch the video “Paris in 9 Minutes” because it is the most invigorating, testosterone pumped, tire-screeching video we’ve ever seen. On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris.
