Kram Weisshaar designs a series of plates for Nymphenburg called My Private Sky.
Submit your birth data including place and time (date, hour and minute of birth) and Nymphenburg will generate the stars and constellations above the exact location and time.

Falling. Sleeping. LIke the image on the Lover home page.
Just found a stack of biz cards from a trip to Syd/Mel last year.
Enjoy.
Best fish and chips in Sydney.
One of the best coffees in Melbourne. Maybe best gelatto.
Cool shop filled with one of a kind jewelry and objects.
Arguably the best pizza in Melbourne.
One of my favorites.
Fantastic cafe in Sydney CBD.
Monday. Bondi.
New AW09 online at Cheap Monday. Plenty of content to peruse with higher-res image downloads. Smart way to spread the word. Check the Customized Jeans Tour: Berlin, London & the denim patched light pole.
Minimalist lighting from Lutz Pankow. The lights use an innovative magnetic joint creating a freedon of movement and modular combination of different bases, arms and light sources.

Every now and again I like to visit the Competitive Cyclist gallery to see what bikes are getting built.
The Pain of Feeling exhibition at KGallery.
This makes me want to paint my IF pink. So cool!
Matching IF bikes in Pale Pink Pearl.
IF offers 4 different levels of paint complexity. Level 1 is a simple custom paint job, Level 4 is anything-you-want dream paint.
Architect Fiona Dunin is doing great things at FMD Architects. Her work incorporates unique details – take a look and you’ll see what I mean.
Interesting use of mirror. Love the snow white kitchen and the bookshelves. Must have books near the kitchen.
Unique faceted detail above window, L shaped protrusion and angular shelf.
I’m enjoying the sculptural qualities of her walls.
Another sculptural wall treatment, the additive wall element is in the form of cabinetry.
Big beautiful doors bring the outdoors in.
Great website. Design by Monkii.
Enticing. There is something quite alluring about seeing multiples grouped into categories. You’re drawn in by the neat displays, you want to get closer, handle. I admire the architect designed collaborations Aesop uses for their retail stores.
Unforgettable use of corrugated materials for product display. Aesop Flinders Lane designed by March Studio.
Aesop @ Strand Arcade.
Robert Miller Gallery presents an exhibition of Italian photographer Walter Niedermayr images. Widely exhibited internationally, Niedermayr’s oversized multi-panel photographs feature a stark contrast through scale. Massive mountainous landscapes or architectural elements dwarf human figures and establish a dialogue between man and the environment.
Should be an interesting show: Ben Quilty organizes a show at Jan Murphy. May 19 – June 6, 2009. I like the concept of a gallery owner giving up the reigns to an artist.
Lovely.
James Cameron worked with Universal Design Studio to create a space of classic institution, referencing aesthetics and colours from 1960’s French spy films and giving it a timeless approach for the circa 1920’s building it sits in.

When I think of Desigual I think of Custo. Of course when I think of Custo I think of Desigual. I can’t help it. This is not a bad thing as each brand is incredibly artistic AND both labels smother their clothes in detail.
I like the logo – yes it’s another helvetica type treatment – however the inverted ’s’ adds just the right amount of irreverent personality. Their website sums it up: Atypical Spanish Wear since 1984.
Each line on this shirt is fantastic.
So many circles …
Great type treatment with paint splatter and a continuation of the Below Summer’s Intense Color theme. Go to Desigual’s website and check out the Campaign Catalog, Video and Catwalk.
Desigual has US stores in San Franciso, Seattle and a few locations in Florida.
Online here.
You know you want to configure your next BMW purchase using a 30″ interactive touch screen interface. Seems kind of pointless to use a mouse after watching this video.
