There can be no doubt that, from the moment we roll out of bed to the screeching of our alarm (on a clock, on an iPhone, from a radio) until the moment we close our eyes again (having put down our book, our laptop, our TV remote) we are surrounded by more objects, each begging [...]
21st Century Plowshare went on a mission this past April to transform the urban landscape of Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. The group set out to plant wildflower seeds on every single patch of abandoned soil within the neighborhood, creating a massive”urban meadow”. We’ll keep an eye out to watch the results of this interesting rewilding project.

If the prototypical late night wedding scene finds men on the dance floor with their ties draped across their brows then there’s an equal number of women holding their high-priced heels in their hands in an effort to keep the party going into the wee hours of the night. It’s the fashion paradox for women [...]
UK celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has opened a chain of food stores called Recipease, where anyone can learn to cook in-store under the guidance of professional chefs.

Architect Daniel Ferrer of Mobile M recently renovated the Alicante-based Conde Lumiares drugstore, taking an innovative, non-traditional approach to pharmacy design. Removing the suspended ceiling, the Ferrer raised the roof from it’s former “suffocating” two meter height to around five meters. To prevent the large space feeling too open Mobile M installed 256 suspended cylinders, [...]
Leo Chao’s ‘Beagle Scarf’ was created to aid Autistic people in times of stress. Some studies have shown music, textured toys and aromatherapy to be of great benefit in alleviating the stress and discomfort often associated with Autism.

The Onion ‘reports’ that we’re spending 90% of our waking hours staring at glowing rectangles…
Standing out from the concrete surfaces and benches of New York’s Collect Pond Park is a ten-sided wooden structure entitled “A Clearing in the Streets.” Commissioned by the Public Art Fund, the installation is meant as a visual intervention, forcing a spaciotemporal instance of the organic within the context of the urban.

In our recent research we came across a few examples of companies trying to create products and services that deal with the problems associated with human waste.
Local trends experts Gaby Arriaga and Luzma Enriquez sent us a link to this video that describes trends in changed behavior in Mexico City after the recent Swine Flu outbreak. Interesting viewing that hints at change that might take place elsewhere if we saw another pandemic.
Shoreditch is a funny old place. Bubbling with Artsy crevices, graffiti covered corners, outrageous forward thinking fashion fiends, the occasional ex Rockstar, shady salons, cheap drugs, expensive booze and a strong conviction in its own hype, Shoreditch isn’t ever without much in the fervently flitting form of the wildly eccentric. That fact is now even [...]
