Take Ivy

In the late sixties, a forward thinking Japanese photographer traveled throughout the northeastern United States stopping at each of the Ivy League schools to document the style of the era.

Obsession | The Kaufmann House

On Monday, I Will Blow Your Mind…

I hate to tease you people, but on Monday I will blow your mind. (Well, I’m excited about it anyway. Hopefully you will be too and everyone will win.) I just need the weekend to get everything together. Hold steady.

From the Desk of… (Bonus Edition)

I found this beautiful picture of English artist and designer Anthony Burrill’s desk on the Creative Review while I was combing the internets this past weekend. I figured I would bend the From the Desk of… rules slightly to feature Mr. Burrill’s awesome little office. If you want to learn more about Anthony, Cool Hunting [...]
