For those with dual citizenship in both the cult of lever espresso machines and the supporters club of La Pavoni (card-carrying), please observe what happens when 70′s industrial design is embraced by the warm Italian hand of LP: the Eurobar a Leva. A beautiful product of that moment’s aesthetic, restored in full by Orphan Espresso. Available for new ownership right here.
Ceramic and cork speakers from Joey Roth. “Joey Roth designs products to articulate the beauty of everyday rituals.” Indeed. We’re impressed with the beauty of approach as much as the finished object. Official members, Joey Roth Ceramic Speakers Fan Club.
DIng! Ding! Transport bike sensibility – long neglected by the cycling industry – is now the hot, hot category. Right on time, Oregon Manifest has created the first ever Constructor’s Design Challenge, charging framebuilders, designers, and engineers to conceive the next-wave multi-functional cycling rig. The Design Challenge will pit the unique sensibilities of each builder against another’s within very specific criteria: youngblood against old guard, steel against carbon…and if we are very lucky, a Truly Sensational Solution. Ready to be amazed? Yes.
