Do you watch Man Shops Globe on The Sundance Channel? If not, you’re only missing out on a peek into the coolest job ever. Keith Johnson works as the buyer-at-large for Anthropologie, which means it’s his job to trek across the globe and acquire objects and one-of-a-kind pieces for the bobo retailer.

The Taiwan-based shop sells gently aged post-WWII industrial design books, catalogs, magazines, card sets, and manuals that also happen to be graphic design eye candy.  These are my favorites . . .    Above: The 35th Annual of [...]

Ork Posters!

August 24th, 2010 · No Comments

papeterie poulain by decole: the wooden camera tape dispenser.

August 6th, 2010 · No Comments

Now, as far as children’s books go, I thought Are You My Mother?, where that baby bird goes around asking if everything is his mommy was messed up enough. Although, even Goodnight Moon made me think I would one day have to wake up with a weird bunny for a grandma who was feeding me [...]
