Celebrating their 25th year in print, i-D Magazine teamed up with Argentine designer Alejandro Sarmiento and the Malba, Buenos Aires' modern art museum, to create this storage container for i-D back issues. The "i-D Brick" features a honeycomb design that "elevates your mags to art book status" and comes either empty for $49 or with 11 or 12 of some of i-D's rarest issues for $400.

Currently available at the Malba store and at London's Fashion and Textile Museum, the collectable edition will travel throughout 2006 to Paris, Tokyo, New York, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong, and Beijing with an exhibition called i-Dentity. The show celebrates two and a half decades of i-D, including work by Hussein Chalayan, JT Leroy, Wolfgang Tillmans and curated by the magazine's founder, creative director, and editor-in-chief Terry Jones.

While the unfussy approach of The is part...
Alessi Spring/Summer 2008
Alessi's upcoming Spring/Summer 2008 product line builds on their reputation for smartly-designed kitchenware. This season, the Italian company employed the talents of a handful of celebrated designers to create some interesting twists on standard fare. One example is the sleekly egg-shaped “Pop-Up” bottle cap opener, which is work of Milanese designer Giovanni Alessi Anghini. The pressure-operated mechanism removes the bottle cap in one downward...
Wallpaper Design Awards 2008
Wallpaper unveiled its “Design Awards” series recently with some interesting results. Though we're not sure about their cred since they proclaimed Los Angeles “Best City” (air quality and gun violence were obviously not strong criterias), otherwise the periodical (along with judges that include Tadao Ando, Wong Kar-wai and Donatella Versace) really pulled it off. Best domestic appliance goes to the "Katamari 01" speaker by...
The International Illustrated
The International Illustrated, a magazine made up of unique original art created around a rather loose central theme, just released their third issue. The brainchild of two Brazilian designers, Julio and Vitor, the duo carefully select contributing artists based on their portfolios. After accepting an invitation to participate, artists receive a "label" (the theme of the issue) ranging from "Do What You Want and...
