“Base ‘lights up’ pot-ential through creative reuse.

Base, an award-winning international design firm, announces that its concept packaging design for marijuana cigarettes will be featured in the upcoming issue of PRINT Magazine, on newsstands in mid July. The magazine’s design challenge was simple: “What would a pack of marijuana cigarettes look like after legalization?” In response, Base has come up with a clean and simple design strategy that recycles mass-produced everyday items popularly used by smokers to transport their secret stashes…

The full profile appears in the July/August 2009 issue of PRINT Magazine and online at printmag.com.”

“so with only some silver spray paint and a few 1×4 boards, martina and her husband turned them into an outdoor bench!”

I may be keeping an eye out on craiglist for some of these chairs - I love this idea.

wells&more book flips two ways

“Joy of dn&co. just pointed me to their latest book which utilises the mechanic of cutting every other page by 5mm so that when flipped in different directions the pages viewed are either graphic content or photography. The photography is by Satoshi Minakawa.”

simply brilliant.

Tribute to Tuskegee Airmen
“Retired Maj. Levi Thornhill, 86, who was a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, and 15-year-old pilot Kimberly Anyadike made a stop in Austin on Tuesday June 30, 2009, while flying from Califronia to Virginia in tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen. They are making the trip from Compton, California, to Newport News, Virginia, in six days in the Cessna at right in background. When she gets to Virginia she will be the youngest black female pilot to fly across the country. Photo by Jay Janner/Austin American-Statesman”

This is the before. Or rather an after that is before another after.

Elodie gives her old TV unit a new burst of life. Again:

This is a third life for my TV furniture. At the beginning it was ‘birch’. I transformed it in brown and flashy colors, and some years later I painted it in white and then I put a shiny varnish. A friend of mine call it the Apple furniture! I’m happy because I’ve got it for 7 years now, and I still love it because it changed his look several times.

I just really like the pops of *bright* color inside the shelves.
