Mun #5 by SlowWood
I’m really digging the basic construction plus natural wood and splashes of color on the framing of all of SlowWood’s furniture. Really nice and simple.

Fueled by Coffee
If you are not following the sketch blog of Craighton Berman then you are just missing out. He is not only a fantastic designer but a great and humorous Illustrator, which you might have seen some of his work in places like Dwell magazine. Anyway, follow this guy.

The next batch of bracelets is well under way! I’m ready for final sanding and then painting. It is the largest batch I have made at once, so hopefully I won’t have to restock them for a while. There are also several bracelets in the batch that have some really amazing grain from the Zebra wood.
I hope to have them up in the shop before too long. You can always follow me on twitter and instagram to stay in the loop.

The Architect Stylus from Arctic 
I just picked up one of these. After holding off on getting a stylus for my iPad I finally gave in and want to try one. Has anyone used this?

Designer Feature: Leah Duncan
An extremely talented illustrator and surface designer based in Austin, TX, Leah has some amazing patterns. She has been fortunate as well in getting to partner with some great retailers like Land of Nod, Target, Urban Outfitters and more.
Her Outer Space tea towel on the left is my favorite pattern, and the Triangles tea towel on the right. Check out her website and shop for many more designs!

Rotor Design of Sweden
After a trip to Sweden my heart now has a permanent spot for anything related: design, food, people, etc. I came across this little company last night while searching for manufacturers of completely unrelated products. 
I love the shape and color of the serving piece on the left, and the little mug/vessel (not sure what it is) on the right. Their full collection is worth browsing through.
