Periscope: A fun app but is it any good for business?

Periscope allows you to broadcast live video of what you’re doing, allowing other Periscope users (and […]
Good Vibrations
Some interesting artwork from Loris Cecchini, creating the physical effect of rippling walls, it seems a little alien or other world like. The white walls have the appearance of disturbed water, or vibrations within water but having them on a wall makes them seem like they could be a portal. More of the artists work below and over […]
Sci-Fi Sneakers just launched
Raf Simons Fashion designer has just launched (get it) his latest collection of retro astronaut inspired trainers for Adidas. I particularly like the one above which have subtle sci-fi design features and details. “Inspired by vintage astronaut suits and backpacks, moulded and machined details similar to authentic closures, zippers and straps are added,” said a statement from […]
Extreme Upcycling – Cluster Bomb Drinks Cabinet
There’s upcycling and then there’s extreme upcycling. This is a crazy project from those people at Fallen Furniture that brought you the Boeing 777 Coffee Table. It’s a cluster bomb that’s been lovingly up cycled into a stunning drinks cabinet, very unusual but it looks gorgeous and certainly wouldn’t be out of place in a Bond villain’s lair.
SONOS Identity Design Remixed
I’m a huge fan of SONOS products, they are well designed, produce excellent sound quality and they just work in the simplest way possible.

This made me smile today…
Jacob’s biscuits new logo design and packaging update
Jacob’s biscuits has just launched a new logo design and packaging in order to bring it up to date ready for the start of a £10 million campaign. This is smart and charming update, keeping an air of the built up heritage but bringing it into a new era. That said I’m unsure whether dropping the […]
There’s Selfies and there’s Nixie…
Couldn’t quite believe this concept called Nixie when I saw it, but seems like it’s quite close to reality now. It’s a basically a drone that sits on your wrist in watch/bracelet form and can then be deployed into the sky to follow you and film in high definition or take photos. Initially thinking this might […]
The psychedelic artwork of Bruce Riley
The art of resin painter Bruce Riley really does inspired me, after seeing him work I’m ashamed to say that I was quickly Googling ‘resin’ and where to buy it, as if it’s that easy. I find his work incredible, not only the end result but the way it’s made and also watching these videos of that creation in […]
