Wow, while we were napping over here it seems that Candy have produced not one but two new issues. Dubbed the difficult second volume, it’s packed full of cutting edge art, fashion, design and photography. Head on over to candycollective to pick up your (free) copy now.
There’s something about this T-Shirt print that I really like. We definitely need more unbridled optimism in the world. Check this one and more out at Wire & Twine.
These designer gasmasks are insane! Designed by the multi-talented artist/designer Diddo Velema, they are, unfortunately not for sale. Instead they exist to make the statement that ‘We are at perpetual war with ourselves, which breeds perpetual fear.

Popular electronics and appliance manufacturer LG has teamed up with inspirational fabric designers Designers Guild to produce these limited edition washing machines. The designs thmselves seem quite smart although perhaps more than a bit kitsch. I’m in two minds as to how well these designs will fare as the machine gets older, although with planned obsolescense in almost every appliance we buy these days, I’m not sure it’s something to worry about too much.
This Giant Flip Clock from Little Clock Shop would look great on my desk. Apparently it’s wall mountable as well.
It feels like I’ve been writing a lot about jewellery recently (well in the last couple of months anyway), but I guess that’s because I keep finding more great stuff!

Anna Tascha is a Swedish designer who makes some pretty crazy jewellery. Featured above is the golden earphones necklace.
Tokyoflash has the craziest range of watches I’ve ever seen! The watches have got some really interesting and sometimes even innovative ways of displaying the time and they definitely look cool. Just don’t expect to be able to tell the time!
