bi king

These antler bicycle handles from Design Kug are RAD! Spotted at ICFF.

From the designer:
The “Bi-King” challenges me towards a new dimension of design; adopting more poetic and artistic approaches to an everyday-use product. In regard to visual expression methods, the new concept of shape communication opened an interesting insight on human perception and recognition ability which can, I found, provide an easier, more enjoyable and artistic way of transformation of everyday product into an art. It also offered me a very strong visual and design language.

poem by kelli russell agodon

Goodbye Stranger

When I said there must be another way,
she said sunrise is sunrise is sunrise.

She said wait. She said stop.

When I said I’ve never understood the truth,
she said listen to Starshine, Supertramp.

She said there are a million of us who fear
being average, all singing in the shower,
all making acceptance speeches with a hairbrush.

What she didn’t say was never.
What she didn’t say was melody.

Thankful curbstone. Russian thistle
growing through the fence.

There must be another way
to say sunrise never equals itself,
and truth depends on a moment.

I have waited for people
who never came back, old boyfriends
who promised to return.

I have stopped believing in doorbells,
in the scent of homecoming.

I stopped believing there must be another way,
that technology = better.

Each morning she read me my horoscope.

What mine didn’t say:
There’s a Grammy with your name on it.
There’s a curbstone that trusts your butt.

And the faces that never returned?
They’re quiet, but think of us often.

-Kelli Russell Agodon

pretty things friday

Friday is here, and so is PTF. I hope everyone had a nice week!

Pretty flowers.


My pretty dream {tree} house.


Pretty pupils.


Pretty silly.


The prettiest tattoo I ever did see!


Pretty cute.


Pretty true analogy.


Pretty sweet rug.


Pretty nerdy.


Pretty creepy birdies.


Pretty inspirational.


Still pretty obsessed with adorable kitties.


Pretty "me."


I am pretty much salivating just thinking about cookie dough.


Pretty much the cutest thing ever.


Happy weekend!
