Frank Chimero writes about this work, its creation, and how the principles behind it have inspired him.

The Artificial Owl blog features the most fascinating abandoned man-made creations.

By the way, the odd structure pictured at top is a pill box bunker located along Devil’s Slide, California, just south of San Francisco. You can read more about the area and its military history here.

You just can’t get much better than Paul Rand’s business card, which sits framed on the shelf of his former student, JP Williams.

JP also tells a fun little story about interviewing for a position under brandistador Peter Arnell, and how Williams’ association with Rand influenced the meeting.

This sweet pair of versatile cabinets is part of the new KAHVY furniture set, designed by Kaichiro Yamada for Actus. Both the AV cabinet and the taller cupboard have a pullout extension table which can pivot, creating more counter space, or a possible work area on the latter piece.

Really enjoying the playful and deceivingly straightforward style of Robert Samuel Hanson. You may have seen some of his work in Monocle, The Economist, and The New York Times Magazine.

The very fun Book Hook from Tell Ritterbach, Cologne. A bookmark and decor item in one. Available in beech (pictured), birch, and oak.

I noticed some of swissmiss’ commenters were concerned about the potential strain this could have on a book’s binding. Considering the size and purpose of the product, I don’t see the problem. Thoughts?

Ross Racine has two new prints available of his intricate suburban aerial drawings. Aspen Grove & Sunrise Park and Beachview Bluffs can be procured through the Fuse Works online gallery, the latter at a special price.

Beachview Bluffs is also currently showing in the Fuse Works: Multiples and Editions exhibition at Brooklyn’s Front Room Gallery, through January 3rd.

(thanks, Ross!)

I’m really smitten by this photograph of Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife). Does anyone know who the photographer is?

This is one of several fantastic stills taken of Fever Ray by director Johan Renck, who also directed her music video for Seven. (thanks, Kate!)
