FLOWERING

A flower for flowers? Why not? This pliable, silicone Kontur vase is from Normann Copenhagen.

OUTWARD BOUND

I’m lusting after this smart visual pun from Shahir Zag.

EARTHLY DELIGHT

Happy Earth Day, New York, I say. Okay, says Pentagram, but I wholly concur.

ART SPEAK

A text work by the artist Tauba Auerbach,  who once worked as a sign painter.

COLORED VIEW

Yellow, theorized Wassily Kandinsky, “…if steadily gazed at in any geometrical form… increases the painful shrillness of its note.” He might have made an allowance for the Hee dining chair, though, which looks painlessly fine, dressed up in yellow.

M DASH

Mohawk , the paper company, has just unveiled their new mark, created by Pentagram.

SPANISH FLAIR

Were I in Barcelona right now, I’d probably spend a fair bit of time trying to unglue one of these posters, the latest from the great Hey Studio.

TASTE TEST

For Coca Cola’s 125th anniversary last year, Jack Spade teamed up with the company to produce a line of limited edition, hand-set wood type posters featuring some of Coke’s most famous ad slogans.

STAR POWER

Philippe Decrauzat’s 2009 acrylic painting, Peripheral Vision.

LINEUP

These lovely photos of the lines that define sports playing fields and racetracks helped inspire the logo created for a sports channel by the Danish design studio, Mega.
