I love all of the photography on the Jak and Jil blog, but these photos of the Patrik Ervell show really speak to me. I love the filtered light in the space, allowing the background to become more important than the fashion..

I love the quality of John Pawson's sketches... I wonder if he does them himself or if these can be attributed to someone else in his office. Usurping sketches seems common practice for some of the big-time architects... I know that Rem's books are full of sketches that employees have done. Still, I'd like to think that Pawson drew these himself.... after all, the minimal quality of the sketches seems to fit with his minimal architectural aesthetic..

Chicago is looking to decrease its carbon consumption by 30% (by 2030) and Smith Gill is leading the charge... They've developed 8 key strategies; Buildings, Urban Matrix, Smart Infrastructure, Mobility, Water, Energy, Waste, and Community Engagement. At the crux of their plan is the retrofitting of existing buildings, rather than the construction of new ones..
I'm excited to read more details about their plans...

I'm really loving this hair salon... Designed by ZMIK Designers, the sharp division between the white salon, and the textured waiting area is lovely. The texture is also a source of inspiration... created by old Vogue magazines wallpapered on the walls and ceilings..
The contrast is great.

Some very cool posters created to help raise funds for Haiti (not what you immediately think of, when Inglorious Basterds comes to mind)... Very cool artwork, cool movie, great cause.

One of my favorite architects/designers, Claesson Koivisto Rune has a new design for a children's chair. Made from a pulp comprised of paper and a cornstarch based plastic, this chair is not only light and durable (which is great for kids!), but also completely biodegradable.Very cool indeed.
