Dearest internet friends,

Hot Hyperlinks

☼ Couple crush: Brooklyn based couple Sebit Min & Andre Teoh launched a joint playground project titled s-u-m ‘to play and explore other mediums outside of our profession as graphic designers, stemming from a desire to break out of the screen and create objects with our hands’. Sebit is making ceramics, Andrew is baking. Huuuge yes to couples & friends launching lil side projects together and putting them out into the world. Hint: they don’t have to make money, they just have to be fun. Not enough people build things just to make their lives more exciting. Catch s-u-m on Insta too.

☼ How to make your home & workspace fuel your creativity

☼ This thirty-four minute documentary from YETI will take you back to the wild magic of 1970s Key West: “It was an astonishing convergence of nascent talent: In the late 1960s and 1970s, a young group of now legendary writers including Tom McGuane, Jim Harrison, Guy de La Valdène, and Richard Brautigan, along with artist and author Russell Chatham and a local busker named Jimmy Buffett, washed ashore in Key West, Florida. They inhabited, and largely fashioned, a period of creative expression, drug-fueled parties, and general hell-raising that cemented the legend of Key West.”

☼ A design reference haven – tapedeck.org is an archive of hundreds of cassette tape designs which you can filter by brand, running time & colour

☼ Public.Work is a search engine for public domain content. Explore 100,000+ copyright-free images from The MET, New York Public Library, and other sources. Powered by my friends at Cosmos, you can get super specific with your search terms.

Hand picked with the utmost care exclusively for the most fervent leisure enthusiasts…

☼ Just a beautiful light shop called Huey (that header video is 10/10 and is pushing me further to believe I must acquire an ‘80s Mercedes convertible)

☼ Is my blue your blue? (via Emily)

☼ Fawning over the “Lazy Swim” pool noodle chair by Laura Dominici & Basil Schu. Stuff like this makes me want to (1) learn 3D design, and (2) start making wild furniture pieces.

☼ Ora-ïto redefines the Renault 17 with retro-futuristic flair, rebirthing the ‘70s icon for the electric age

☼ Obsessed with the Light Soy lamp by Heliograf (via Lewis)

☼ I’ve probably featured this before, but honestly it’s worth looking at again. This is one of my favourite house build projects on the internet: The Villa Slow housebarn conversion in the hills of Cantabria, Spain. Bonus points for the ‘90s two door Mercedes G-wagon they’re driving. If you aren’t subscribed to Kirsten Dirksen’s YouTube channel you’re missing out.

☼ While we’re rewatching YouTube vids, if you’ve never watched Converse’s All Star Series interview with Tyler the Creator in Paris, I highlyyyy recommend doing so. So many hot/great takes in there.

☼ Simple & functional indoor & outdoor loungers by Palermo House

☼ And I leave you with 3 vehicles currently on auction that will make incredibly irresponsible daily drivers for you & your family (life's too short etc etc)

• This white ‘88 Mercedes-Benz 560SL
• This black ‘90 Jaguar XS-S V12
• This insane white 1975 Bricklin SV-1 w/ the gull-wing doors

Until next time!

See you online ☼
