Amazing finding of Salone del Mobile 2012: The Polyfloss Factory

Our project is The Polyfoss Factory, a micro factory allowing the transformation of a commonly available waste material, polypropylene, into an easily transformable recycled material that we call Polyfloss. This process allows any skilled maker to create high value objects from a free material.

White is the new black: Brand spirit, by Andrew Miller

Brand Spirit: every day for 100 days, I will paint one branded object white, removing all visual branding, reducing the object to its purest form. I can purchase each object for less than $10, it can be something I own, something another person gives me, or something I find. Brand Spirit has been featured on Swiss Miss, PSFK, Gizmodo, Adweek, The Next Web, Trendland, and Huffington Post.

Kettal Vieques by Patricia Urquiola: we like it!

Kettal presents its new collection: Kettal Vieques by Patricia Urquiola. Kettal Vieques is a collection characterised by the combination of an aluminium frame with a new and revolutionary 

three-dimensional fabric, Nido d’Ape, with exceptional technical features, created especially for this collection and exclusively for Kettal.‘My intention was to maintain the lateral aluminium double moulding but with a seat and back similar to taut netting, a soft and pleasant grid, in three dimensions, which we have achieved after two years of research.’Kettal Vieques is modular and consists of pieces for the living and dining room.

Once upon a time there were...words, The Dead Words

Once upon a time there were...words, The Dead Words

For over centuries, thousands of English words have been created, modified, and removed. Through this blog of lettering, we rediscover and interpret stories of dead words. All letterings in here are words that were once used in our language. Today, most of them are omitted from common English dictionaries. This may be the last chance for us to learn and commemorate the words before they are truly dead and forgotten.


I found this link in my mailbox a few days ago and I couldn't help sharing it with you.
Here you are my favorite dead words, but have a look there's many more here.
