Cool Hunting
I go through a lot of notebooks whether it be for doodling or to do's. Lately I've been using one from the "unfinished and unpublished" series created in collaboration with Studio Matador.
A numbered, limited-edition (500 of each version) collection of notebooks, all feature original art works from a variety of artists including Aussie streetwear designer Alpha 60, isis&pluto and Pandarosa, among others. All the notebooks feature a hard glossy cover while a mix of colored, lined, grid, parchment, computer stock and unprinted pages give a nice mix to choose from for any situation. The best part is the exposed, hand sewn binding which allows the notebook pages to sit flat making it easier to use and more of the page available to fill.

Beige, minimal, with rounded corners and just small enough to...
Australian photographer and designer Anthony Newman has been exploring collage art with his latest series of works: "Originally started from a few mixed media paintings, the Dangerous Diary was born out of my need to explore collage. I was also really taken by the fact that new artwork could be created by found, and usually discarded, objects in my environment—bill posters, flyers, stuff left...
Rhodia's waterproof orange covers have long been the notebook of choice for creative types. The French brand's two new spiral bound options, Meeting and Reverse, are sure to win some followers as well. We're torn on the whole spiral vs. bound debate (spiral lays flat and flips around while binding slips into a bag easier), so we're glad to see Rhodia getting in on...
Those of you looking to kick-start your private collection of young Australian artists should look no further than Brisbane-based painter and illustrator Lillian Piri. She works on a commission basis and has quickly earned a number of prominent placements for her work including last year’s Semi-Permanent London book. Her work is distinctive for its quirky take on common themes. It’s quite beautiful and serene...
Unconventional in every sense of the word, Melbourne duo Hank and Matlok are causing a stir down under with cutting-edge art, quirky prints and intelligent fashion. CH caught up with the duo during their recent exhibition at Robio to talk about art, beer and fashion. (Click images for detail.) What's with the name? Hank: Blame our parents. That's what we normally do. Matlok: Yeah,...
Although it's been out for a decade, the Foster Series of desk accessories for the German office brand Helit hasn't aged a day. Unless you work for Hearst, or you plan to attend the Summer Olympics in Beijing, your experience of Lord Norman Foster's ingenuity is likely limited to press reviews and the occasional tourist jaunt. Kitting an office desk with these accessories (which,...
