Reader Find: Knot Skateboard by Build by Ami Kealoha
Combing through Reader Finds, we noticed yet another deck to file under "skateboards as art." Knot by London-based designers Build was created for Refill Magazine. The laser-cut surface looks like woodgrain, as the name suggests, but also hints at topographic maps and sinuous feather shapes. (Click image for detail.)
It's unfortunately not yet for sale and we have no other info on it, but if we find anything out, we'll let you know. UPDATE: The board is part of an exhibition called Refill Seven (for the seven layers of plywood that make up each deck, which Refill organized. The show features decks limited to editions of 50 by 67 different artists, launching 29 March 2007 in MTV's gallery in Sydney, Australia. Check back for more info. Thanks Tony!

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...

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...
