Reset Design Tattoo by Ami Kealoha
Needled today directs us to the Parisian site Reset Design's project that tasked designers with reinventing tattoos. The 40 different results range from more lyrical ideas, like a rendering of hair (pictured) to macabre comments on the body, such as crucifiction marks and dotted lines for cutting. The work will be exhibited at a show in Paris "dedicated to the manipulation of nature by man," called "Eden Adn" during the St. Étienne Design Biennale from 22 November-3 December 2006.

Tom Schutyser: Caravanserais a Metaphor
In early 2003, photographer and writer Tom Schutyser traveled in a West-East direction along the Silk Road documenting the sights he saw along the way. The resulting show, "Caravanserais a Metaphor," is a photographic glimpse of his journey from Iran through Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to China, shot in black and white. Opening last week at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris Val-de-Seine in...

Milan Design Week 2009 Recap: Skitsch
While the timing seems less than ideal to launch a high-end furniture company, the new Italian brand Skitsch certainly made a go of it during last week's Salone del Mobile. With a broad collection of seating, tables, storage, lighting and accessories from a who's who roster of today's youngest design talents, Skitsch is clearly trying to position itself amongst the design world vanguard. While many...

Milan Design Week 2009: Established & Sons
The British manufacturer Established & Sons vaulted onto the design scene just five years ago as if out of nowhere. Despite the cheekily ironic assertion of heritage suggested by their name, a rambling selection of products that makes up their ouevre to date gives a sense of a company yet in its infancy, with frequent missteps and disappointing additions among the gems that have...
