Visvim E-Cat Messenger Bag

Updated Aug 29, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Visvim E-Cat Messenger Bag et al.
Berlin, Germany
We have been following and observing Visvim's development for a very long time now and the progression this brand has seen over the years is truly amazing. Visvim's expansion from a niche footwear producer to a fully-grown lifestyle label took off at an impressive speed.

Apart from the fast growth it is the level of quality in Visvim's designs that does not stop to amaze us. Every piece in each of the company's many collections bears the same uncompromising aesthetic. With your eyes closed you could pick one piece from any category - footwear, denim, tops, jackets, bags, accessories - combine it all and look your best without 'overdoing' it.

The current line of bags is yet another example of the fine balance between functionality and subtle design details that Visvim has handled so masterfully in the past. Solid colors, solid construction, tasteful design elements - all nicely packaged (literally).

With the growth of the brand and the new focus on the American market, Visvim appears to be headed towards a crossroads, though. Maybe the brand has already passed it, too, and is taking various paths at the same time: the younger, more playful and experimental direction towards the US, the more upscale and refined route that leads to the F.I.L. stores, as well as to friends and neighboring labels, and a third route whose characteristics we have yet to fully grasp: new logo, 'more' where there was 'less', 'less' where there was 'more', apparel vs. footwear...

The new season has already begun and it will be interesting to see the reactions along Visvim's new routes.

This Works

Updated Aug 16, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Appealing body care packaging from London-based this works:™. Are these more than just great-looking products? Let's hope they actually do work. I'm certain with Kathy Phillips (formerly a Vogue beauty director) behind it, they'll work really, really well. Main thing is, the packaging is cool enough to attract my particular attention. All that white space and big, easy-to-read text gives it a clean, crisp look. Just what skincare products should look like. Available at Barneys. (via ReubenMiller Design Blog)

Corrugated Bench

Updated Feb 4, 2007

2 people recommended this item

Description

An amazing piece of ordinary-turned-on-its head design. Corrugated cardboard becomes the only material to create this surprisingly strong bench. Core77 is a great resource for cutting edge design news. There have been lots of iterations of corrugated cardboard furnishings - this one is a great representation of the concept. (via Core77)

Designed Things I Love
Updated Aug 29, 2007
A list of things that I consider great design. Great design should make us happy and invigorate our lives through aesthetic and functional details. Of course, things don't bring us true happiness, but they can certainly give us a lot of positive energy. And anyway, who doesn't love stuff?
