This Months Playlist
The music that has been pleasing our ears this month.
World Builder
World Builder from BranitVFX on Vimeo.
A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.
This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.
Nikki Farquharson - Mixed Media Girl
We have a hunch we will be seeing much more of the work by the young, London-based graphic designer and illustrator Nikki Farquharson.
Fiat C Trees - Milan
From August 5 to September 30, the cutely nostalgic Fiat 500 C, unveiled in February, appears on Milan's world-famous fashion street, Montenapoleone, in an unexpected role. Exactly 20 fiberglass replicas, precisely the same size and shape as the little Fiat, have become planters for real trees of various shapes. The happening, called "Per fare un albero" (Create a tree), is a cooperative effort between the City of Milan, Fiat, and artist-designer Fabio Novembre. In Novembre's words, his solution to merge into one object trees and cars, two elements always vying for urban space, is a "symbol of a new way of living." According to Fiat's spokespeople, Fiat 500 C's cheerful, friendly, innovative and eco-friendly character is a perfect fit for such an undertaking.
KAA Restaurant - Sao Paulo
Probably one of the only restaurants where the food is secondary to the beautiful surroundings, the KAA Restaurant is Sao Paulo.
It was designed by Arthur de Mattos Casas of Studio Arthur Casas Architecture and Design.
Get Organised
Clay already falls into the category of organisation obsessed, so these products from Coccoon are right up our street. Great concept and design across the product range.
Rain,rain go away
Some of the Clay team are having a well deserved break over the next few days with a golf trip to Ayrshire, Scotland. A trip to The Open is planned for the Friday, the forecast is far from ideal :(.
There's a lovely old saying about the course - "If ye can see Ailsa Craig, it's gaun tae rain. If ye canny see it, it's already raining."

Adidas Originals
This was mentioned on another designer's blog, but have to agree - superb advert and song.
They came from...
(int) Factor Films presents THEY CAME FROM... from factor films on Vimeo.
Superbly shot video and atmospheric music to go with it. Makes it that little bit harder to be stuck in the office :(.
Is it christmas yet?
Dear Santa please can I have a Milk Table or two.
Beautiful craftmanship in this table, I reckon it would increase productivity ten-fold. Too scared to even look at the price.
How much for the night?
Dupli Casa, a private residence by the Neckar river, near the old town of Marbach in South- Western Germany, is a wonderfull example of connection and fluidity. It connects the inside with the outside, up with down, air with ground and - most cleverly - past with present and even future. Full article at The Cool Hunter
