TIMEX & YOU
This is brilliant. I’ve been seeing a lot more companies going the route of you having a say in the colors/styles you want in their products. Puma & Keds have been on it for a while and now seeing TIMEX getting in on it stokes me out. Make your own HERE
This is the one I made:
Stumptown
Portland’s Stumptown Coffee has just issued these sweet jars with a special blend called “Hair Bender”. The blend consists of beans from Latin America, East Africa and Indonesia. The flavors sound amazing as well : Caramel, milk chocolate, sweet citrus and soft floral notes. UM…Yes please! Buy it while its around HERE
Apparently Stumptown has an Grand Cru blend too! Holla! We should do a collab for sure. If you want to try this flavor out get it HERE
Designer Emulation Kits
These “lamps” are produced by an independent design studio and manufacturer called mmckenna. To learn more about them and to check out there other projects, click here.
MAN WORKS DESIGN

Domsai Terrariums
“Produced in the tiny Northern Italian commune of Nove, a hot bed of ceramics, these anthropomorphic planters are all one of a kind because no two are exactly the same: They are hand cast and mouth blown…so forms vary slightly with each Domsai.”
Find them here.
John Vogl
I’m really impressed by this kids niche in the poster scene. Bringing hand drawn illustrations to the poster scene requires great vision and dedication. His color choices are super fresh as well and his use of texture makes things really pop. Follow John, he’s prolific in his quality and output. John draws everything up and screen prints it all himself. Make sure to spend time at his SITE as well at his Etsy shop, I sure am.
BAGGU Giveaway
BAGGU has a very simple principle: that good design should be functional, beautiful, and affordable. Their main item is based upon the iconic plastic shopping bag. But because it’s reusable, it helps with keeping the environment clean. I feel that they are really affordable and that everyone should buy one. Plus, it doesn’t have a company logo, so you won’t make an awkward scene walking into one grocery store with a different grocery’s logo.
My sister did a giveaway on her blog (iartu), and that’s how I heard about this company. BAGGU also offer other things, so because each and everyone should already be deciding on which color BAGGU bag you’re about to purchase, our giveaway consists of their Backpack!
Here are the stats:
16″ high / 10″ wide / 5.5″ deep
Magnetic snap + buckle closure
Interior pocket
Adjustable shoulder straps
16oz recycled cotton canvas
Guess what? The good people at BAGGU are letting us give TWO backpacks away!
One RED, and one OLIVE.
All you need to do is visit their site by clicking here, and come back to this post leaving a comment on which one of the 36 BAGGU bag colors you would purchase to go along with the Backpack. Contest is now over.
The contest will end May 31, 2010 @ 11:59PM PST. Rules may change accordingly without any prior notice.
