Alvin Lustig Design






By the time Alvin Lustig died at the age of forty in 1955, he had already introduced principles of Modern art to graphic design that have had a long-term influence on contemporary practice. He did this through his contributions to the design of books and book jackets, magazines, interiors, and textiles as well as his teachings. He also designed lighting, logos, advertisements and a host of other graphic material. He was a pioneer who reinvented these objects creating works of beauty through design. See more of his work at the Lustig site and get information on buying posters. Also check out the reproduction process at Flickr.

The History Of Chairs



These posters cover the essential illustrated history of folding and rocking chairs. They're not only a great reference but an art statement as well, further blurring the line between art and design.

Beautiful Gocco Printing






These gorgeous limited edition prints are the work of Bernadette Sipkes of Sugar Loop, an illustrator who lives in New Zealand. She was recently featured by Domino Magazine and her work has been selling like hotcakes. This printmaking is influenced by organic elements, mid-century design and the prints of Florence Broadhurst and, interestingly, was printed on a Gocco printer. These Japanese printers are a dream for anyone from kids to artist. Unfortunately they are getting harder to come by as the company is stopping production of them. There is a campaign called Save Gocco to try to keep them in production. Do us all a favor and visit the Save Gocco site so we can keep enjoying wonderful art such as this.

Andea, Amazing Designer/Amazing Space










I have wanted to feature Andre for a while now. I love her graphic design and I love her home. They are both vibrant, colorful and just so much fun to look at. They reflect the same sensibility. Andrea lives in Germany with her husband and two beautiful children. I don't know weather her design work has been picked of by a production company but it needs to be. So it anyone reading can pass this in to the right people, please do so.

Posh Betty is the place to go for some retro style and fun. From clocks to coasters to stationary it all has a cheeky hip flair. This is a great site for modernists who don't take themselves too seriously.

Patent Pending Industries



I am quite happy with the ongoing shift in the world of graphic design back to earlier modern styles reminiscent of silk screen printing and block printing. A reworking of mid-century graphic themes is abounding in poster art and it's gorgeous. This can be seen in the work of Jeff Kleinsmith at Patent Pending Industries. These three posters are a small sample of his and the companies work, but they are beautiful.

A New Method



Method Bloq is a series of new personal care products from Method. Shower soap, body lotion, shave cream...with nice scents and good pricing. But what strikes me once again is the attention to design in the product packaging. I love that about Method products. They've done it again.
