Thrifting with George

One of my new years resolutions was to do a little more thrifting. I found a little old house turned antique shop, knowing full well it was not my flavor I took my chances. As I rounded a corner there he was George Washington with his little smirk. I thought it was a pretty cool picture but then moved on right out the front door. The next two days I couldn’t get this thing out of my mind. I went back hoping it was too expensive and I could just be done. George came home with me that day for $25. I quickly broke out the acrylic paints and went to town. I wanted to mess with the print itself but did a little hunting and found that it is from the 60’s and are pretty hard to find in this large size. I am sure it’s not worth much but I decided to leave it as is. Make the jump to see what happened to George.

LENS°ASS architecten

Some very cool projects from Belgium based Lens°Ass. I really like the minimal flavor that is present in most of their projects. I might be missing something with their website but there are projects that I really want to see more of. Let’s see who can come up with the best “unhappy hipster” caption for the second image. More after the jump.

PLEKS - Creating Visual Futures

PLEKS out of Copenhagen does a fantastic job of incorporating typography into their environments. They have such a great esthetic, I am sure influenced by their Danish surroundings. More after the jump.

The tension between research and practice informs our work. We balance the use of design as a strategic tool with craft-based traditions of value and quality.

Amazing modern homes - Joeb Moore + Partners

When I flip through an architects portfolio there are usually a few houses that stand out and a few that are just average which makes for a pretty good mix. In the case of Joeb Moore + Partners there is no average, their portfolio is stacked with projects that wow with every image fade. As I sat on their home page watching the slide show I was waiting for an image that I could mentally label average, to no avail. Fourteen images after the jump.

Modern on eBay

I know I skipped last week but I think this weeks eBay post turned out pretty tight. I like just about everything in this room. I think the BATIK Fabric Panels by HEIDI LANGE are very interesting and I am always a sucker for a Arteluce floor lamp. Click “read more” to get all the links.
