Vegetal Chair by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec

3 people recommended this item

Description

Definitely the coolest stacking indoor/outdoor chair I think I've ever seen. If it's made by Vitra you know it's good... and more than a little pricey @ $500 plus!

House Key

3 people recommended this item

Description

Created by a former Honda car designer, Stat Keys help make cluttered keychains a little more manageable with twelve amusing designs.

The line of designs now available include chess pieces, animals and house icons, with more forms apparently in the cooker. Nickel-plated and currently fitted for standard Kwikset locks,the company plans to expand its key types to include SC1 blanks, as well as others.

Stat Keys are proof positive that everyday function doesn't mean having to sacrifice good design.

Buy the keys from the Stat website for $11 per key or custom create your own, starting at $130 for the design and $15 for each key. (via coolhunting)

House Industries - Neutraface Slab Blocks

First to recommend

Description

If you're looking to curse your kid with the same designer's obsession with typography that you yourself have, well here you go. No, seriously... these are cool and every future graphic design star should have them.

From House Industries:
Children need to understand the important nuances that define fine alphabets long before they learn how to spell cat, dog, mom, dad or 529 college savings plan. To that end, we have developed this compact set of 12 Neutraface Slab alphabet blocks that will transmit subliminal stylistic messages to both young impressionable minds or the odd dolt whose narrow view of typography is defined by a partial screening of the Helvetica movie.

Vertigo Print

One of the greatest movies of all time, directed by the master Sir Alfred Hitchcock and released in 1959. This poster was designed by Saul Bass, one of the all-time greats in the world of graphic design. Great movies deserve great posters to publicize them, and this one delivers in a big way.
