In my country, store sells YOU.

303Grand

The man-eaters and lady-killers over at Street Attack have a pretty cool new project going on: 303Grand. They call it a rotating storefront. Are you a small company launching a new product? Looking for a temporary art space in a high-traffic area? Seeking an avant-garde consumerism-themed wedding location? Done. Got it. Yarp.

Lecture Notes: Gijs Bakker drops the science

Gijs Bakker

Last night @nstroup and I attended a lecture by Gijs Bakker, renown Dutch jewelry designer and founding member of Droog, at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. He presented a retrospective of his work and Droog’s, and it was inspiring to hear a design icon casually reflect on his experiences.

Design States: A Complete, Comprehensive, and Fully-Inclusive Design Framework (Abridged)

A Design Framework

Planning a product development schedule is tough. This is the first in a series of articles meant to help define a system that we’ve used many times to help our clients figure out what they need to figure out. Of course, a design process should be tailored to the individual needs of the project, so keep in mind: your mileage may vary.

A little late, but still cool…

ZINK!

This digital camera contains its own ink-less color printer, sort of new-school-Polaroid-style, which is pretty sweet. We worked on the project rather tangentially, but always thought it was a great technology.

Good, Green Fun

Recycle

Can’t say much now, but we’re excited about developing a new brand that will be devoted to recycled materials but also maintain a sense of creativity and fun. Think “eco-Alessi”. It’s gonna be pretty cool.

Cable Table on sale at GRAND now! Right this second!

Cable Tables at GRAND

GRAND has decided to stock the Cable Table in their Union Square store! That’s pretty sweet, right? Grand, if you don’t know, is a fantastic design and style emporium. They only carry clothing and products that fall into one of two categories: sweet-ass and rad-tacular. We are psyched!

The Improper Bostonian puts ONE on (the cover)

The Improper Bostonian

One of Boston’s best mags for sourcing the haps, the Improper Bostonian, is profiling ONE Condoms in their current issue. The story is quite nice, and there are some rather sexy shots of our packaging. Also, it’s cool to share cover space with Junot Diaz. We should read his book, as it’s supposed to be, uh, pretty insanely great.

Cable Tables at Suburban Astronaut Studios this weekend

Harm and Hammer, by Jason Chase

The gentlemen purveyors of oils on canvas, Jason Chase and Scott Listfield, have kindly offered to show off the Cable Tables at their studio space for the Open Studio Days this weekend, May 3rd and 4th. You should go visit them at 95R Oxford St (#52 on the map) because they are top-shelf individuals with serious painty skills. No joke: these two are the best artists you will see during Open Studios.
