Follow the Leader by Josh Rubin
Follow the Leader is like a graphic design version of the Surrealist game, The Exquisite Corpse. The project comes out of Tokyo Style in Gothenburg and resulted in a 9 Meter tall by 1 Meter wide masterpiece. Four Japanese designers and four Swedish designers each had 6 hour turns and had to use the bottom 10 cm from the previous work. It's too tall to display here, so click through to continue.

Collaborators are, from top to bottom: Sweden Graphics (SWE), Velvet Number (JPN), Ink Graphix (SWE), Delaware (JPN), Little Eskimo (SWE), Atsushi Togami (JPN), Patrick Sundqvist (SWE), and Jun Watanabe (JPN).

Bible Illuminated: The Book New Testament
No matter your religious beliefs, one thing we can probably all agree on is how laborious it is to read the Bible. A Swedish outfit called Illuminated World hopes to change that notion by creating Bible Illuminated, a relevant version of the historical book. Set in magazine format, the New Testament publication includes the same time-honored stories paired with photos that conceptualize how they...

Dror x Target Stack Bookcase
Much like their wildly successful diffusion lines with fashion designers, Target's new line with Dror Benshetrit signals a willingness to take on smaller industrial designers than they have previously and package them for the masses. Of the upcoming collection of bedding, furniture and stationery, all designed with small spaces in mind, we think the Stack bookcase ($90, due out later this month) is the...

Ancient Japan in Milan
If design is in the details, at this year's Milan furniture fair the key shift is away from flawless surfaces and towards Japan's ancient aesthetic of wabi sabi, which rests on the concept that beauty is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. In today's often jejune design world, it's refreshing to see the remnants of the artisan's work, reflecting the randomness of nature instead of what...

Airstream x MINI Cooper S Clubman x Republic of Fritz Hansen
For someone like myself who grew up traveling in converted buses, this new Republic of Fritz Hansen-designed Airstream and coordinating modified MINI Cooper S Clubman doesn't look exactly practical, but it does look dreamy. At 6.8 meters long (about 22 feet), the Airstream trailer makes for a relatively compact way to make a road-trip luxurious—for fans of both sea and sun. Incorporating neoprene, acid...
