I thought a Father / Son EDC was a cool idea. These are things my 3 year old and I carry around daily.

Editor’s Note: Haha, awesome but I can’t help but wonder what a 3 year old would be using a knife for… let alone an iPhone.

This is just the best pocket dump I’ve been. I need to make a pocket dump of my 7 months old daughter.

Patrick Rhone (of Minimal Mac fame) sent me this video when I started the blog. Here it is again: Three Days. One Backpack.



He shows how light you can go. Thanks Patrick for link!

Tumblr might be acting funny, if the video doesn’t play just click on the word Vimeo to go to the original video

Fresh from Alain Monnens, Crane is a desk lamp that luminates while taking out minimal space on your desk real estate.

Inspired by Japanese Origami Crane bird, the lamp is constructed from a single folded plate, minimalist in construction like origami, minimalist in every way. The foot, being part of the single plate at a straight angle, also minimises the space used, work space is retained underneath the lamp, where it is most valuable, tucking perfectly into the corner.

Crane is designed for tossB, presented at Interieur 2010 Kortrijk, Belgium.

Available in white, grey and black, fits perfectly with my minimalist colour scheme too!

Born in Sydney, but moving between Germany, Tokyo and San Francisco, Brent Hallard makes beautiful skeletal installations out of tape and other materials. They are very bare, and the forms depart from the grid in slightly odd, but strictly geometric shapes. Of his work, Hallard states:

They appear abstract, and are, for that matter just what they are, but… Every time something moves it moves with history, moves out of one into another, pulls at what already is, sometimes pushes what might or can be: so too with these.

From November 4 – 21, Hallard will be exhibiting a watercolor show at RC de Ruimte in Haarlem, Netherlands.

You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.
You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary.
And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Franz Kafka
