Tap, tap, tap…a single writing session with what must be the first aesthetically beautiful word processing program will make clear just how deeply the ugliness of Word is affecting your work. Omm Writer envelopes your screen and your head in a soft blanket of image and sound, allowing you space to think and to write. Simple word processing tools provide exactly what you need and nothing more. Writing feels intimate and pleasurable again, and we are grateful, yes. (via The Post Family)
Deep in the heart of the Amercian Return to Craft are hand tools and the leatherworker. MAKR began as a one-man workshop sewing up small goods with a nice touch, and is evolving into an authentic cottage industry of perfectly-conceived small-batch carry goods. These are things you want to touch. And handle. And live with, for a very long time. We hope that one day there will be a maximalist version of the Minimal which will accommodate the change that women do not like to carry in pocket.
Occasionally you see something so incredibly beautiful and resonating that it simultaneously breaks your heart and pastes it back together again within the same moment. This is that something. Spaghetti bench from Argentina-born, Paris-dwelling artist and designer Pablo Reinoso. Gorgeous.
