The Selby Project..

..documents creative individuals’ lifestyles in the most original manner.

Really a visual pleasure here.

I first got to know this from J on FB. All the way from Melbourne  :p

Also, the project has manifested itself in the form of a book. Inspiring :)

Ink Calendar

How clever is this? Some real brain effort behind design work.

“Spanish designer Oscar Diaz has designed a calendar that uses the capillary action of ink spreading across paper to display the date.”

Clever Little (Shoe) Bag

Marvelous! With care and concern to Mother Earth too.

“the “clever little bag” combines the two packaging components of any shoe sale—the bag and the box—with high-tech ingenuity.

The bag tightly wraps an interior cardboard scaffolding—giving it shape and reducing cardboard use by 65%. Moreover, without that shiny box exterior, there’s no laminated cardboard (which interferes with recycling). There’s no tissue paper inside. And there’s no throw-away plastic bag. The bag itself is made of recycled PET, and it’s non-woven—woven fibers increase density and materials use—and stitched with heat, so that it’s less manufacturing intensive.”
