BLOOM / Jeff Miller


The flexibility of the wood makes this coat rack perfect for everyday hassle free use. The eight arms bend down like tree branches whenever a coat is hung on them, this way other coats hanging will not be disturbed and you can take your coat off the rack without making a mess. The arms work independently and the whole rack rotates for convenient use. More can be found at Cerruti Baleri , who Miller designed the coat rack for.

DZ9044 / DIESEL



This faceless wrist strap designed by Diesel is obviously created for the traveling man,or someone who is asked about Greenwich time occasionally. With 2 side movements on each side,this watch allows the wearer to see times in up to 4 different time zones. So whether you are a frequent traveler,or just curious to know what the time is in Iceland,you will have to dish out about $365.

THE HOUSE BEHIND THE WALL / SLOVENIA

Normally modern villas with great views are located on a hillside, but this wall-like house not only opens up to a great view, but also blends the living space with nature. The structure of the house restricts the view such that the boundaries keeps out the sight of the surrounding messy structures.

CHAPULTEPEC SPACE


Origionally conceived in 2004 and completed in 2006 the Chapultepec Space in Baja is a shrine to modern minimalism. While the two images here show an interior view and the magnificent balcony the reality is that it is part of a large complex of townhomes. The view speaks for itself.

ThunderHeist / Jerk It



A great track created by a duo originating from Toronto and Montreal in Canada. Jerk It was featured in the award winning film The Wrestler and they also recently released a self-titled album which is definitely worth a listen. Be sure to check out Thunderheist, you will not be disappointed.

MR HUDSON / THERE WILL BE TEARS


Great production on the music. The video is similar to the Kanye/Kid Cudi collab on Welcome to Heartbreak but nevertheless original compared to mainstream content. Watch for Mr. Hudson in the future.
