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.
Pen Pencil Stencil - Mark Giglio
I really love the simple colorful shapes in the design of Mark Giglio. His work spans across more than one medium including: scrap wood turned and painted figures, modern graphic wallpaper, T shirts, and handbags. My favorite has to be the Kokeshi Paint on turned scrap wood, they would look so cool in a kids room.
SeeSaw 2010 letterpress calendar GIVE AWAY!
CONGRATS TO MORGAN FROM CALIFORNIA
I am excited to team up with SeeSaw Designs to give away one of their very cool 2010 letterpress calendars. I really like the simple minimal geometric design. I love the fact that after the year is done it doesn’t just go in the trash, it stays as art.
This limited-edition wall calendar includes four designs, each with 3 months per page (size is 7.25″x11.5″). Each piece was letterpress printed on Crane’s Lettra 100% cotton paper using our antique Kluge printing press. The design emphasizes use after the year is over: trim off the dates, and keep the four pieces as prints. The calendars retail for $28.
SeeSaw is a full-service graphic design and letterpress studio based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Comprised of three ladies who met in college and share a love of design and letterpress.

I really like these prints by Josh Brill. The subject matter of the birds remind me a little of Charley Harper, but there is a real simplicity to Josh’s work.

Modern geometric patterns - Siggi Eggertsson
I’ve recently been looking for a geometric rug for the family room. While trolling the web I came across the design work of Siggi Eggertsson and I am totally loving his geometric graphic design. Now we just need to get him hooked up with a rug manufacture. More after the jump.
