Keep Calm and Carry On by SummerSeventySix
The British stiff upper-lip and Blitz spirit distilled into five stoical words, these silkscreen prints are based on a message that was posted on walls during the Second World War. The original featured stark white text on a red background, but U.K.-based student Lucas Lepola has updated things using more subtle colors plum, pear and peach, each limited to 50 numbered prints. The sentiment remains the same, and still feels a bit comforting during today's uncertain times. They're £25 plus shipping from Keep-Calm.

Kate Moross Tees
Barely into her 20s, designer/illustrator Kate Moross has a client list as long as some established design firms.

She cut her teeth designing flyers for London shows three years ago with a penchant for throwback psychedelic graphics and lettering. Her more recent work favors a...

Gharani Strôk Filofax Organiser
For decades Filofax has been a name synonymous with personal organizers and widely imitated worldwide. Until very recently, Filofax was also known to be pretty conservative—both styles and their product range never seemed to differ significantly from the first specimen produced in the 1920s. But with 2007, a revolution has arrived. Not only did Filofax recently launch a friendly website named It's a Way...

T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers
With British t-shirt company T-Book's tessellating expressions of love and the German Puma designer Peter Schmid's high and low-tops, these may be the most romantic kicks out there. Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair....

Vonhideki
No designer represents the rising-tide graphic design strategy of commingling traditional drawing and digital technique more than London’s Hellovon. Moving into three-dimensional deviancy, he's now collaborating with product designer Hideki. Their virtual Morte Per collection, meaning “to die for” in Italian, is the debut from their Vonhideki brand currently boasting five proposed products: the Suicide Bath, the Choker, the Tip, Youth and Beauty Body...

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...

Beth Lipman x Steuben Glass: Still Life Collection
For several years, glass artist Beth Lipman has been reinterpreting classical still life painting with her carefully constructed assemblages of glass objects. An artistic practice that emerged in 17th century Europe, still life painting represented not only a formal and technical evolution in the medium, but a distillation of the political, moral and religious values of both artist and patron. By transforming the still life...
