WINTER CABIN //
01
The dream is to have a cabin some-where deep in the woods where you can go every once in awhile when a break is needed from the city.
This cabin from Swedish Design firm, PS Arkitektur, would suit our needs just perfectly. It feels really modern but you can’t really deviate from feeling grounded by all the wood inside and out. Simple, mini-malist clean design.

Bookhou Modern Art//02
bookhou was cofounded by John Booth and Arounna Khounnoraj in 2002 to showcase their individual and collaborative work. They are a multidisciplinary studio that emphasizes natural handmade materials and small production pieces. In the fall of 2008 they opened their brick and mortar shop located on dundas street west in toronto.

Street fashion / style is all the trend right now. And for good reason. The high style of fashion runways does not connect with the everyday man/woman. What’s being worn on the street is a great indiication of a city’s culture vibrancy. This is reflected through bold colours, pat-terns, mixing different styles and ultimately how one carries them-selves. Whether it be Paris, Milan, Florence or London you can see a trend moving towards being more bold and less conventional with the “rules” of matching etc.. GQ photographer and reporter Tommy Ton has captured this movement beautifully on his blog. www.jackandjil.com/blog

I came across Meat & Bread on one of my many branding inspiration hunts online. What I’ve come across is a place that not only has some kick ass branding but the menu and dinning concept looks amazing. The best part for us West Coasters is that it’s in Vancouver. I must compile a list of amazing cafes/restau-rants/bars that I need to hit up while I’m in Van-couver next. This would definitely be on that list.
I speak about simplic-ity often but for very good reason. The way of design, eating and living is coming back to being more simple and straight forward.

Contemporary, with a hint of tradition, Soren’s striking design of-fers amazing comfort. Handcrafted in Vermont from steam-bent
solid wood, it’s a timeless dining chair you’ll love for decades.

Here is a collection of amazing typogra-phy. Anyone who loves graphic design will love these. Great typography makes design jump off the page/screen and get-ting great results is much much harder than it looks.
The examples here are some of the most creative work I’ve come across in a long time. Amazing to see how people really stretch themselves and push the design boundaries. great inspiration.

Typography – ” Typogra-phy uses typefaces and the whitespace around and through them to create a whole design. ” A lot of people don’t re-alize how important typography is in design and how much of a role it has.”
