I was pleased this afternoon when I came across the video that can be seen below produced by Iittala, originally a glass factory in Finland but they now make all sorts of objects to "enrich people's everyday lives". You may know them for one particular collaboration that took place with Alvar Aalto, producing a vase collection that was both fluid and organic, to this day they're still mouth blown and it takes seven craftsmen working as ...
I started this list, initially called Things I'm Liking, which I'd intended to post...oh, six months ago.

Known for his sculptural textiles, Faig Ahmed fuses contemporary glitches and distortions with traditional weaving techniques. A recent artwork, titled “Doubts,” is one of his larger pieces that while conventionally shaped and patterned on top, appears to ooze out into a massive puddle. A stunning piece, the ornate motif blurs into swirls of color and an amorphous shape on the floor. The Baku, Azerbaijan-based artist (previously) said in a statement that he began “Doubts” about one month prior to widespread lockdowns due to COVID-19. More
It’s a fine line between particular and pretentious. To be particular is admirable. It is to be studied, meticulous, and exacting, but in a way that entices people, rather than repels them. Pretension
1 2 Paint Back in 2001, when Jeroen Verbrugge, principal in the Delft design firm Flex/the InnovationLab, was painting around his house, he had a revelation. Rolling on the color, he realized, was actually sort of fun. But slopping the paint into the roller tray, and then cleaning the tray when he was done, was one huge mess. He resolved to find a better way. In 2002, after months of research and experimentation at his firm, Verbrugge took out a patent on a revolutionary new

Palo Santo-Box mit drei Holzsticks und Räucherschale Das Verräuchern von Holz, Harzen und Pflanzen gehört zu den ältesten Riten der Menschheit. Auch die Verwendung von Palo Santo geht auf Jahrtausende alte Traditionen der indigenen Bevölkerung Südamerikas zurück. Dem „heilige Holz“ wird eine positive, heilende Wirkung zugeschrieben. Es wird insbesondere zum Räuchern von Räumen genutzt, um diese mit positiver Energie zu füllen. Palo Santo soll uns mit der Erde verbinden. Der charakteristische holzige Duft mit einer Kokosnote soll zudem innere Klarheit bringen, Kreativität fördern und Ruhe spenden – um nur einige der positiven Wirkungen zu nennen, welche mit dem besonderen Holz verbunden werden. Das Palo Santo, das wir anbieten, stammt aus nachhaltiger Bewirtschaftung aus einem ecuadorianischen und peruanischen Schutzgebiet, wo die Palo Santo-Bäume wild wachsen. Die Produkte werden in einem sorgfältigen Prozess ohne gefährliche Chemikalien oder Lösungsmittel ausschließlich aus umgefallenen Bäumen und toten Ästen gewonnen. Box mit 3 Sticks (ca.10cm)Räucherschale aus schwarzem Ton mit seidenmatter Glasur Ø 10cm Spülmaschinenfest _______________________________ Palo Santo box with three wooden sticks and smudge bowl The burning of wood, tree resins and plants as incense is one of mankind’s oldest rituals.

It is used in particular to incense rooms in order to fill them with positive energy. Palo Santo is believed to connect us with the earth. The characteristic woody scent with a hint of coconut shall bring inner clarity, stimulate creativity and create a relaxing atmosphere – to name just a few of the positive effects that are associated with this special wood.

above: Virgin Mary Themed Urinals Anyone who has traveled to the Middle Kingdom would agree that the country's public restroom facilities leave a lot to be desired. Well, in Chongqing, a city of 31 million people in south-central China, they've had enough. Not content with the rudimentary squat units found everywhere in China, the city has pursued some innovative ideas that are meant to make the experience not just easier, but a little more fun. First came round, open air urinals on the city's infamous "Foreigners Street," featuring tiny waist screens that left little to the imaginations of passers-by (below): Then came news of outdoor sinks, pictured below, that made the hand-washing experience, um, different. Now comes news that the city has opened the world's largest restroom. The four-story, 1,000-stall facility features TVs, a soothing soundtrack piped throughout, crocodile- and Virgin Mary-themed urinals, and stalls with no roofs for those who prefer to relieve themselves al fresco. Says a local government official: "We are spreading toilet culture.... After they use the bathroom [people] will be very, very happy." You can't argue with that.
