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.

BUILDblog Senior Field Correspondent Josiah Johnson is taking the reins today with another roster of scorching architecture and design resources, enjoy.
Austrian firm Caramel is up to some work that pushes the envelope and develops new ideas that are very exciting to look through.
PHOTOGRAPHing
Hands-down, our favorite site lately is this one, which collects and shares images of beauty, danger, sexiness and war.
BUILDing
The work coming out of the graypants studio just about knocked the drink out of our hands it is so refreshing, raw and well, just plain cool. These guys are thinking, drawing, making and promoting; they’re doing good architect work. Get your eyeballs on this stuff and go check out their site.
-thanks to Seth
Rock-star contributor Josiah is taking the lead for today’s post, so mentally prepare yourself for an avalanche of modern architecture, design, film and tunes.
ARCHITECTing
Parsonson Architects from New Zealand comes with an official hotness warning: do not visit this site unless you’ve got ample time to spend there.
BLOGing
Our new favorite blog is Brute Force Collaborative. It’s smart, it’s thorough and it’s got a great name. From modern architecture tours, to forward thinking construction methods, to über-cool fire stations in Europe, BFC covers some serious ground and is a welcomed addition to the design blogging world.
-thanks to Mike
Recently we came across Modern House Notes, a blog that does a phenomenal job of introducing projects that most of us have never seen before.
-thanks to Gina & Tom
WATCHing
If you haven’t yet watched the spectacular short film titled The Third & The Seventh by Alex Roman, then sit your tail down and hit play. This extremely well executed film sheds light on why most of us went into design.
-thanks to Mike & Josiah
Let’s get twenty-ten kicked off with a list of cool design links that have been keeping us busy over the holidays. Let us know what you think and what we missed… and welcome to the future.
Goodness it’s been busy lately – who turned on the work faucet all the sudden? In addition to architecture starting to happen again in the northwest, the photography world is seeing some quantum leaps. Our friends over at Chase Jarvis Photography released a gorgeous package of tools earlier this week including The Best Camera app for the iPhone which allows you to shoot, add creative effects, and share your images more simply and powerfully than ever before. The app has been BUILD tested and we’ve been having a ton of fun with the filters and edits on our own photos. An accompanying book of photos by Chase shows just what can be done with the iPhone camera and a good set of filters. And to tie it all together, a website which is the hub of the ecosystem, allows everyone to upload their photos – the site is extremely cool as it’s constantly being updated with photos from around the globe. Hats off to CJP for a very clean and inspiring launch.
