State of Design Festival

Lovelies,

Volunteer applications for the 2011 State of Design festival are now open. Great opportunity to see shows for free =) and of course for the whole-hearted, warm & fuzzy satisfaction of doing good for the world (or Victoria in this case)

Philippe Starck: Why Design?

Wonderfully self deprecating, refreshingly frank and if you can handle the accent, an interesting thought at the end. The completely fascinating Philippe Starck.

design for the other 90%

“The majority of the world’s designers focus all their efforts on developing products and services exclusively for the richest 10% of the world’s customers. Nothing less than a revolution in design is needed to reach the other 90%.”

—Dr. Paul Polak, International Development Enterprises

A partner of design powerhouse Pentagram, Abbott Miller created these wallpapers for Knoll. Aptly named The Ink Collection, it consists of three themes: Drip, Drop and Run.

Claire Martin

Through photography, Claire Martin seeks to uncover and bring attention to society's dirty outcasts. This series of photos called Slab City is of a small community of squatters in the Colorado Desert of South Eastern California, USA. It is here that these felons, addicts or vagrants can live in peace without being judged.
