Brooklyn Circus Lookbook

Loving the new lookbook from Brooklyn Circus featuring a lot of hand lettering by the crazy talented Jon Contino. Gorgeous photos and illustration throughout. Typography is so beautiful… and that quote is one to live by as a designer. (via FWMJ)

Suno New York

Suno New York‘s Spring/Summer 2009 collection is completely drool-worthy. Love the mix of prints and vibrant color. What’s even better is that each piece is made from vintage Kenyan kangas. Suno designer Max Osterweis has been collecting Kenyan kangas for some time and began making these pieces from the vintage cloth. Each piece is produced in Kenya by Kenyan artisans in small shops based on designs originating in New York. The result is a collection of 1000 unique and individually numbered pieces. According to the Pipeline, the range for this collection is $95-$595 and will be available at Opening Ceremony in NYC and LA. (via Refinery29 Pipeline)

Mystery on Fifth Avenue

I am totally in awe of the architect whose work is profiled in the New York Times today.

Architect Eric Clough was commissioned by a family to redesign their apartment. The father, Mr. Klinsky suggested the architect hide a poem he had written to his family in the walls of the apartment. This idea sparked a project that involved noted sculptors and writers to design an elaborate scavenger hunt in the apartment for the family of six to do together.

Such an amazing story with such intricate and elaborate details. Door knockers designed to come off doors, fit together to form a crank which opens a hidden compartment in a wall. Keys hidden in cubbies behind artwork which fit together to form magnetized cubes which open a series of panels which reveal the poem the father wrote for his family. Radiator grilles in each of the childrens’ bedrooms laser cut with a coded poem to each child. Amazing stuff. Read the article! Be sure to check out the slideshow as well.

Clogh designed a book which he hid in a wall panel to help the family through the scavenger hunt.

Meli & Angi

When my friend Jina told me about Meli & Angi, I was absolutely floored. Jina was also kind to remind me that they baked the cookies from her wedding and I immediately remembered the deliciousness.

The precise lettering is so amazing. Check out the monogrammed cookies they can make for weddings! Total icing perfection.

Noah Kalina

My boyfriend sent me the link to Noah Kalina‘s interior photography portfolio and I got so addicted clicking through the various spaces. Taken mostly in restaurants in New York, Kalina shoots interior shots for the America Online Cityguide. His blog serves as the best of the best shots from his jaunts. Fantastic shots of some of the best restaurants in New York.
