Christoph Niemann
Here's a guy whose artwork and social commentary you should really check out.
Mixing a great sense of wit with some very abstract concepts its no real wonder he writes a blog for the New York Times.

Visvim “A Cycle of Craftsmanship” film by Young Kim
Its only so long I can go without mentioning Visvim. And seen as I haven't posted on hear in a while its only fair that I get stuck in with some news form the F.I.L. camp.
In the search for a new shop in Kyoto, Hiroki Nakamura, head honcho of Visvim, came across a doll shop which had closed down after seeing generations of family ownership. Whilst not his usual style of shop there was some very tangible history to the store and a story that rang very true with the ethics of his own brand which helped in the decision to go with the store.
Rather than gut the store and strip it back to its basic elements, Hiroki decided to keep all fixtures and fittings, and even some of the old stock as a reminder of the history of the place.
To celebrate the opening of the store Young Kim has created a video for Visvim called 'The Cycle of Craftsmanship' which can be found at all F.I.L locations and a handful of select Visvim accounts...
Hopefully my copy should be here any time now...

Well its been quiet round here for a while...
Hmm, how things change...
So after a year where I lost my job, had to live with my gran for a while back in deepest darkest yorkshire, then decided I needed to get back into education to increase my design knowledge base, I find myself out in Milan doing a Masters in Interior Design at the Scuola Politecnica di Design.
After a heavy week at Saloni where I was exhibiting hand woven carpets with some colleagues, then a horrible flu which has kept me in bed for a day I find myself back on the blogs and thinking about our next project, a retail design for a major trainer brand...
So I happened upon this little gem from Coolhunting.com...
My favourite architect, Masamichi Katayama of Wonderwall fame and his latest store in Harajuku, the new Nike Flagship...

Fresh Fish
SF's very talented Jeremy Fish has just opened up a nice wee exhibition down at the Fecal Face Gallery San Fran. Looks like a fairly small show with 2 beautiful murals with the body of the work on cut wood in his own classic style. In addition to that is a huge print in an edition of 30 for $200. Can't be many left now so get your skates on for one of the biggest and best Fish prints I've seen...
