Just as Leo Fender’s inventions were the foundation to generations of bands, the Wheels of Steel have been the essence of club culture smoothly crossfading from hiphop to disco, to acid, to house, to techno to post-party sound and anything in between. After three decades of reliable service to the beat, Panasonic has now stopped [...]

MAKE DO WITH MAKEDO

Monday, November 22, 2010

makedo is a reusable connector system for creating amazing objects and spaces from recycled materials. The possibilities of what you can make with makedo are limited only by the materials you find and your imagination.  And when you’re done, you simply pull it all apart and reuse the connectors over and over again…

FINE WINE

Saturday, November 20, 2010

It’s slightly amusing to read an exhibition statement like this on the page of a museum for modern art: ‘Wine is a potent force in contemporary life, perhaps the only comestible to produce its own visual culture.
