Urbanears
This campaign stuck with me.
Urbanears is a collective from Scandinavia that just released 3 headphone models in a series of 14 colors. The design of the headphones themselves are top notch, as well as the product photography that went along with it. bravo

Remote!
So, this commercial is on my tv, and in it somebody’s controlling my tv remote, and they are changing my fav candy to an even better candy. I wish I thought of this clever simple goodness. Speechless and drooling…
Muji Kicks Ass Yet Again
Every time I’m in NY I find myself buying tons of useful crap at Muji. Paper and paper and more paper, it’s neverending. And so cheap! How do they do it?? AND THEN I just saw this bit of genius. They teamed up with Lego to revamp the possibilities of plastic.

Playing With Food, Finally Respected
I could never help it. My mom was never happy, but squishing mashed potatoes around my plate was always the best option to end a meal.
I’m sure Carlo Giovani’s mom was never pleased. But jeez, I hope she is now. Look at these:
Obamart
Word is out!
Prez Obama has chosen which art will decorate his humble abode for the remainder of his term.
Yup, Barack and wifey got to dig through the storage of three Washington museums: the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; and borrow 45 pieces to dress the West and East Wings of the White House. Imagine that.
Taken from the Guardian: “The Obamas have selected work by Jasper Johns, Ed Ruscha, Josef Albers and Sam Francis. These are the great giants of postwar art, quintessentially and ineluctably American, yet, at times, acerbic critics on the national condition. It seems clear the Obamas have a personal liking for abstract expressionism, but they are also projecting a clear message: they are thoughtful, comfortable with abstraction, aesthetically sophisticated. And patriotic.”
Any president that picks Josef Albers is a winner. Check out other picks:
Josef Albers - Study for Homage to the Square: Nacre

JOcandraw
I think this is genius.
For a spread in Wallpaper, Jo Ratcliffe, aka jocandraw, used a print out of a pool as his set, and styled his model with a paper cut out hat. At first glance, you know something is off about the photo. The shadows from the hat help piece this one together
