We Are What We Do

Designed by We Are What We Do – really bright, interesting, upbeat stationary. Diaries £5 and pencils £6.

“Our Action Pencils are part of our Action Stationery range – a collection of notebooks, diaries, bookmarks and pencils that all feature “Actions”, ideas of small good things to do. The 6 pencil set features a range of relavent Actions including Write to someone who inspired you, Use both sides of every sheet of paper and Don’t worry if you make a mistake (which is the only pencil in the set to have an eraser on the end). The entire stationery range is printed with soya-based inks on FSC paper, is shipped (not flown) from our responsible printers in Singapore and all profits go the We Are What We Do, funding school and community education projects.” Buy them from their shop.

First seen via the amazing Mélanie Kimmett blog

Fitzhugh and Linsay of the Brooklyn Home Co

Stumbled across Design Sponge sometime last year – a wonderful site. These photos are part of their “sneak peak” pages where they interview and go behind the scenes of designers worldwide. The home I have selected is by Fitzhugh Karol and Linsay Caleo of The Brooklyn Home Co – (I still have a the kitchen shot with the dog Olive as my desktop at work). Possibly the best part is that most of the furniture has been made and crafted by this couple.

Shit London – Patrick Dalton

Featured in this Saturday’s Guardian weekend magazine 02.07.11 – capturing London in its most raw. The images that the Guardian selected are great (which I have not been able to find from his site) so I have selected a few myself.

“These are photographs of the unintentional human comedy that surround us in the city. It’s the flotsam and jetsam of city life , the overlooked minutiae , the tragic , the grotesque and the basest of base. It’s the adapted posters , the dirty joke on the back of a van , the mispelt signs , the glory hole in the public loo , that weird shop down the end of your road and the knob graffiti strategically placed for maximum effect.” Words and pics from Shit London/Patrick Dalton.

Visit Shit London
Also has a book of that is published by Portico on 7 July – you can get a copy here. (Launch night is on the same eve 6-9pm at The Mill Co Project, Vyner Street E2 9DJ.)
