    German designer — and friend of PauseTalk — Bianca Beuttel has created this great Caramel Corn-inspired desktop image for 2007!

    A while back Graniph released a collection of collaborative tees with MORNING magazine, and I’ve been trying to get the one pictured here (a pixelated Vagabond) in my size (M), but with no luck. The collection also includes this one illustrated by Akira Yamaguchi. Update (16/10/24): The image is no longer available.

    REAL DESIGN (8) swerves a bit this month with a rather large amount of clothing-related design coverage, and then gets quite eclectic — as always — with pieces on the PS3, traditional design in Kyoto, the Hotel Okura (as a “design hotel”), and much more.

    I just learned from the staff at Cafe Pause that they will be closing earlier on Monday (January 8) because of the holiday — they hadn’t realized that it was a holiday when I told them last month when the next edition would take place.
