Louis Vuitton Maison London – Art by Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Murakami and More

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

“Today Louis Vuitton will be opening its new Maison London, a store concept which was previously reserved to its home town Paris. The massive store cost over 30 Million Pounds and is nothing short of impressive. You can of course expect an incredible selection of LV products in the new store. For us most impressive is the amount of original art that you will be able to witness at the new maison. The new store showcases art by Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Michael Landy and others. Depending on the artist, you will find paintings, sculptures and installations on showcase.” via HS

Fresh, Eco-Friendly Furniture by Anderson Modern

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Jacob – an Atlanta designer and all around DIY type of guy – was bored with the furniture he was finding. He wanted pieces for his home that had soul. He ran across a linseed oil-based stain at IKEA, and something just sparked! He loves the rustic look that the Behandla stain lends his work and started making more pieces.

He creates all of Anderson Modern’s furniture using reclaimed, locally-sourced wood. It’s not so much that he’s drawn to eco-friendly materials, but he says that, “materials that are earth friendly came to me. They were already begging to be left unadulterated, and kept in their most simple form.” -via GreenUpgrader

David Lynch | Organic Coffee

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

David Lynch Signature Cup Organic Espresso
Before being a director, David Lynch is a big amateur of coffee. The coffee often meets in his movies as if this one was a character. His passion for the coffee brought him to become one of the main actors thanks to the launch of its own brand there. After several years of tests and tastings, he finally managed to create a coffee in his image.
David Lynch Organic Coffee, Espresso Whole Bean is rich and lusciously full-bodied with nuances of dark chocolate, cardamom, and caramel. This powerhouse coffee is an ideal foundation for a first-rate cappuccino or caffe latte. Coffees from the Americas are combined with select Pacific Rim beans and roasted to a deep dark oily brown. This measured, but aggressive style of roast transforms the unique characteristics of beans from the two different continents into a hearty and supremely satisfying organic blend. They have a medium/dark roast profile.
A portion of proceeds will go to the David Lynch film scholarships fund at the American Film Institute Center for advanced film studies.

Spray Paint Vending Machine!

Saturday, May 8th, 2010


Believe it or not, GRAFFOMAT is introducing a graffiti art supply vending machine. “Forget about the times where you would run out of paint in the middle of the night and there would be nothing you could do about it. Graffomat is here for you 24 hours a day, located easily accessible on almost every street corner in your neighborhood.” We can already see a few issues with this (i.e. who actually buys paint?) but a novel idea nonetheless.

Take a leap for more shots of the Graffomat – Graffiti Vending Machine.
