Dearest internet friends,

Welcome to this week’s instalment of what’s hot in life & leisure!

With love ☼

Hot Hyperlinks

☼ A perfect business idea: Selling bouquets of flowers out of the back of a Fiat Panda 4x4 Integrale

☼ If you feel like bankrupting yourself over a lamp, it should probably be this one.

☼ Well this is a very hot drum machine indeed (see it in action).

☼ A stunning “ultra-sustainable” home in Majorca by architect Ernest Bordoy

☼ Rajesh Vora photographs the Punjabi tradition of turning rooftop water tanks into eclectic sculptures. His book ‘Everyday Moments’ hundreds of images collected on a 6,000km multi-year journey across the state.

Hotter Hyperlinks

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

☼ The extraordinary tranquillity of a traditional Japanese house which has travelled 20,000 km – from the mountains of Fukui to a town in Buenos Aires.

☼ Research as a leisure activity

☼ In Leslie Wayne’s series ‘This Land is Your Land’, she paints scenes inspired by photos she took as she flew over Rocky Mountains; including a frame recreating the Boeing 737 window she took them through.

☼ Desk essentials: Lego Ferrari F40 & Lamborghini Countach.

☼ Netherlands furniture makers LCM design are making some of the most beautiful DJ & vinyl storage solutions I’ve seen to date.

☼ Beautiful cyanometer postcards by Chilean artist Macarena Ruiz-Tagle: “The Cyanometer Postcard captures the nuances of sky blueness at a specific moment, allowing senders to document and share this information with the recipient”.

☼ From 2016: Photographer Sergey Stroitelev takes a look at the contents of women’s handbags: “Women's handbags have always been a mystery to me. As a kid, I was convinced that my mom and her friends just had to carry around all sorts of magical items, plus a couple of bricks. I thought that was the law—in case they needed to save the world or something”

☼ As someone who listens to ambient music a lotttt (thanks to Endel) I can’t imagine an object I want more in my home than Yuri Suzuki’s Ambient Machine. Yuri also designed the absurdly cool Teenage Engineering PO-80 Record Factory, which allows you to record (cut) your own vinyl records at home.

☼ Just a perfect little internet project: collect the buttons you click as you ~ surf the web ~

Until next time!

See you online ☼
