Vintage Volks

I don't have a car now but if I do get one I would take a vintage Beetle. People on the streets would say, "That guy was a bad ass... I bet."

All American

Via Renifery 29
Everyone is pro America these days. Its totally hip to be an American! Opening Ceremony's up coming collection is all made in the US by the American heritage brand Pendleton. Now the hundred-year-old brand gets a modern spin with 23 updated men's and women's pieces, including Navajo blankets refashioned as bell skirts and patchwork plaid shirts with contrasting color sleeves.

Task Lamp: Peter Stathis

I helped the amazing designer, Peter Stathis, with this task light for Pablo. It is made of a metal/polymer/metal sandwich material that allows the electricity to flow straight through the struts to the LED lights. Its truly an amazing design. Great Job Peter and Pablo!

Affordable Tapio

Ultima Thule, 1972
Pollo Vase, 1970

I forgot to mention that there are affordable Tapio pieces. These are a couple that I have in my collection.

Icon: Tapio Wirkkala

X-frame table, 1958 Bolle Bottles, 1968
Tapio Wirkkala is one of my favorite designers for sure. He had a great sensibility between hand craft and mass production. His objects are so simple, reflecting nature and technology simultaneously. He looks like Santa and used to whittle knife handles in the Finnish woods... Pretty much my dream.

Tortured Manhood by Thome Browne

via New York Magazine
Tortured Manhood by Thome Browne consisted of 40 models acting out, in unison, the day of an office drone from the 1950s. The models all wore the same outfit: a shrunken gray suit, cardigan, wing tips, and camel overcoat. After they walked into the room, a “ boss” rang a bell at which point they took off their short coats and slim-fitting suit jackets, sat down, and started typing. They sat at identical desks and even ate identical lunches.
