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

Weā€™ve been running around the Fuseproject site lately, Yves Baharā€™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.

NETWORKing
Heard of the Summit Series?Ā  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
Weā€™re big fans of Cecil Balmond and Anish Kapoor and we couldnā€™t be happier to see that both have teamed up on a new sculpture called Temenos.
-thanks to Kevin

Weā€™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.

Recently, we recommended that a friend watch the video ā€œParis in 9 Minutesā€ because it is the most invigorating, testosterone pumped, tire-screeching video weā€™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.
