Skateboard mag Refill has collaborated with artists around the globe to create these awesome laser-etched skate decks. Artists like UPSO, Parra, Alife and many more have produced some sick work. Go check it out.
Project Fox
According to the official website Project Fox:- “gives young people the opportunity to develop new ideas, test and realize them. They are invited to develop new concepts for designs and routines of urban life, to rethink and redefine the given and already known. There are basically no restrictions. The full development of the creative potential is paramount. ”
The results are nothing short of stunning. In particular, Hotel Fox is full of spectacular themed rooms created by street artists the world over.

two create
two create are a London based design duo who do some great work in both two and three dimensions. Check out the ‘Poise’ candle holder for a good example of a utilitarian type object given a unique, yet functional form.
Staticmag
This one’s an oldie, but damn I wish Staticmag would bring us some freshness. V2 came out sometime last year (or was it even the year before?) and rocked our worlds with some mad artwork and interviews.
Atypyk
Talk about smart. Atypyk create off-the wall products based on everyday objects. Super high concept design and extremely clever thinking.
AI+KO
Super busy designers/artists/fashionistas AI+KO have just set up a new online store. Featuring some rad prints and the very cool table cloth, you’d better get in there quick since they are all limited runs of 150 (and a few one-offs). Some great work from AbnormalBehaviorChild is also available.
