We have selected some of the spectacular luminous or lightning tables from the history as well as contemporary scene.

We have designed three new cut-out prints for Here & There exhibition curated by our friend Jonah Takagi.

Inspired by golden age of jetset travelling, we have created three thematic prints showing three types of travelling: on the water, in the air and on the road. Each theme is represented by illustration of concrete vehicle. Republic Seabee airplane, Maserati 450S Costin-Zagato and Swan sailboat are included.

The prints were exhibited at Various Projects in New York during ICFF.

Swedish camera-producer Hasselblad has presented its new Lunar camera.

Designed as a homage to legendary 500C camera from 1957, which was the first camera in space in 1962, the Lunar is a contemporary digital machine of five different designs including models with two types of leather, carbon, mahagony or olive wood. Vintage look meets progressive technology in this beautiful camera.

Designed by Alfred Roth in 1934, this chair we have found in the collection of furniture made by Columbus in their factory outside Milan.

Swiss modernist Alfred Roth (1903 - 1998) has designed this chair for progressive furniture manufacture Embru. Produced by Columbus, the chair features aluminium frame made out of thin tubes and colored aluminium bands. It is very original, timeless and not so well known example of the 1930s modernist furniture.

Our favorite French producer Petzl has developed the lightest climbing helmet ever produced.

With a maximum weight of 165 g, the SIROCCO helmet becomes the new standard in terms of lightness. The monobloc construction minimizes helmet weight while retaining excellent impact resistance, due to the mechanical properties of expanded polypropylene (EPP). The textile adjustment system also contributes to its lightness. This helmet comes with a new magnetic buckle which allows the chinstrap to be attached with one hand. The SIROCCO helmet also has excellent ventilation distributed around the helmet.

We are proud to announce our participation at Here & There exhibition at Various Projects curated by our friend and founder of Field company, Washington-based Jonah Takagi.

Our friends from ACE furniture company presented their new collection of wooden furniture in the collaboration with Adrien Rovero at Salone del Mobile in Milan last month. This beautiful catalogue they introduced as well.

ACE is a collaborative project of Camille Blin, Arnault Weber and Emmanuel Mbessé founded two years ago. This catalogue/poster featuring nice illustration of Swiss mountains by Jeremy Schorderet caught our eyes very much. New products include Bout de Bois bottle opener and Capra bench by Adrien Rovero or Suspension hanging light by ACE team.

More on minimalist bottle opener very soon.

Our friends from Depot Basel are heading to Wroclaw this week presenting personal insight into the lifes of six individuals: a journalist, an architect, three designers and a project manager. The project is supported by WrocLOVE Design Festival.

Be there!

Yesterday we have visited old Granary in Suchomasty close to Beroun, Czech republic to acquire some modernist furniture pieces for our new OKOLO/Pedal Project office and gallery in Prague.

Beautiful day in the old granary owned by our friend and collaborator Jan Jaroš od Cohn Auction we spent by selecting of some pieces from his wonderful collection of mid-century modernism. At the end we choose some Scandinavian anonymous chairs, 1950s floor lamp by Josef Hůrka for Napako, as well as one 1930s steel tubes table and more.

Thanks Jan Jaroš of Cohn Auction very much and you will see these extraordinary pieces in our new office and gallery very soon.

We love work of American modernist illustrator and graphic designer Charley Harper (1922 – 2007) very much. Now we have it on skateboard desk and memory cards as well.

His mid-century work includes illustrations of everything around. He is best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters and book illustrations featuring all the species of animals in their environment. Colorful style of his work balanced between abstract morphology, story-telling, as well as humor and irony.

In the recent years, a lot of attention has been given to his work. In 2009, our favorite skateboard label Habitat started to produce limited edition signature series of desk dedicated to Charley Harper. Featuring his birds and another animals, desks became intimate and functional pieces of art and hommage to the famous artists. The similar new use of Harper's work we have found in this memory game from Ammo books.
