The Spun lamp by Evie Group is a versatile fixture that can be used as both a pendant lamp and floor lamp. While it’s pretty as a pendant, my favorite configuration is it as a floor lamp, for its playful take on the classic wooden top.

New print release! The People I’ve Known & The Places I’ve Been is a limited edition print by Ryan Bubnis that is “about all the people, situations and environments that have impacted your life. Good or bad, it’s about the things that have helped shape you and have made you into the person you are today. It’s your story and personal history.”

15% of each print sold will be donated to Teach For America, because of Ryan’s belief that poverty shouldn’t limit your educational opportunities. We should all be given a fair shot to succeed. Read our interview with Ryan here, and buy the print here.

Seattle-based design studio, Object, recently released a series of fun, large-scale country and state mirrors. Each mirror has a 3/4″ wood backing, and mounts to the wall with an invisible french cleat.

I’ve got to say – I’m not really one to think twice about a mouse pad, but this A4 Mouse Pad by Kitmen Keung is beautiful in its minimalism. It also provides a little extra function by way of a corrugated, sloped resting spot for tiny desktop accessories such as clips, coins and pencils. It comes in charcoal gray, orange and cambridge blue.

New print release: We’ve been longtime admirers of Berkley Illustration and their fun Animals in Suits series. With spring right around the corner, we are thrilled to release this brand new print, Chlorophyll Bill, which features a neutral, earthy figure who is sprouting colorful plants, branches, vines and flowers out of his beard and hat.

15% of each print sold will be donated to Farm Sanctuary, because Ryan, as a vegan and animal lover, wanted to support Farm Sanctuary’s work in giving rescued animals from farms and slaughterhouses a second chance at life. Read our interview with Ryan here, and buy the print here.

These Alphabet Cups are simple and fun. The typography was originally created by Danish architect, Arne Jacobsen, for internal signage at Aarhus City Hall in Denmark. You could have fun with the letters and what the cups are used for!

New print release! Ching Ching Cheng’s print, Love, is about the complexities of love – the ups and downs, the passion and the struggles. I love the simplicity of the shapes, and the complexity of the idea.

15% of each print sold will be donated to Farm Sanctuary. Ching Ching is a huge lover of animals, and has two dogs, a cat, a turtle, and 40+ fishes! Read our interview with Ching Ching here, and buy the print here.

This is both heartbreaking and amazing. William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1995. From the year of diagnosis, until his death in 2007, William painted self portraits as a means of understanding his disease. It’s so interesting to see how his portraits changed as his disease progressed.

New print release! Chinese New Year was a few weeks back, and it is the Year of the Dragon, considered to be the luckiest year in the Chinese Zodiac. We thought it would be fun to celebrate by releasing this print by Will Scobie – Midnight’s Dragon.

I chose a dragon for this piece, because visually dragons are really inspiring to draw, being made up of lots of interesting shapes and lines. In my work, I am always aiming for graphic simplicity that incorporates different ideas, but I also try to keep a fun feeling by adding unusual details.

15% of each print sold will be donated to American Forests. Read our interview with Will here, and buy the print here.

And, the sketch that led to the print.

These Tyvek bags by Milk Design Shop are gorgeous, as is everything else in their shop!
