  • Canned Coffee

    —

    , ,

    Craig over at Chin Music Press sends word that their latest baby, the “Canned Coffee” site (or dare I say brand), has finally gone live. Coffee and literature have always made quite a team. There’s nothing quite like opening a new book in your favorite cafe, a steaming cup of coffee by your side. But…

  • Taku Satoh

    I love the work of Taku Satoh — the exhibition of his work I saw earlier this year at the GGG was an absolute treat — and Reluct points us to his site, featuring a great portfolio.

    Kotaku has just posted this rendering of what the Xbox Lounge in Aoyama (to open November 2) will look like. I do like the openness of it. Update (16/09/04): The image is no longer available.

  • Koizumi Makoto’s KuRaSiGoTo

    —

    ,

  • Designmai Berlin in Tokyo 2005

    —

    ,

    Every year I hear about Designmai happening in Berlin, and so wish I could take some of it in. Well, now I have my chance! The title of this event is prounounced “design my Berlin” – which would be a nice idea too – but in fact “mai” stands for May, the month this design…

  • Swedish Style 2005 Program

    —

    , ,

    The program for Swedish Style 2005 is now out, and can be viewed online here. Let me point you to a little thing me and Jesper have been cooking up (well, mostly Jesper, I’m just the happy assistant): Mamma Gun sager: Ta en PAUS!

  • Polypunk 3

    A new edition of Digiki’s POLYPUNK (3) is now up — get it while it’s hot!
