Globe-Trotter x J. Crew Luggage
(28 May 2008) - J. Crew has been making some surprisingly well-executed forays into the luxury market as of late and the latest such unexpected product is a collaboration with the British maker of hand-made traveling cases and trunks, Globe-Trotter.

For Office Use Only x United Bamboo Post-Its
(23 May 2008) - by Jason Wilson Typically, a pile of Post-Its is about as fetching as the office partition they're stuck to.

Banksy Hosts The Cans Festival
(06 May 2008) - This bank holiday weekend in London saw one of the world's most famous street artists (and least likely corporate collaborators) host his own spray party thanks to help from Eurostar.

Such collaborations more often than not have predictably disastrous results (Kellog's streetwear anyone?) but sometimes they yield happy consequences....

Rockwell x Alife x Patta: Everybody Mid Rap
(30 April 2008) - A collaboration between illustrator Parra Rockwell, Amsterdam's Patta and seasoned veterans Alife, the Everybody Mid Rap has some texture and color details that made me take notice. A mix of materials, including Nubuck suede, nylon and leather, compartmentalizes the vibrant, otherwise monochrome blue, making for an appealing contrast in textures. The clear sole, red trim and alternating lace holes are also an attractive touch....

Schimmel/Colani Pegasus Grand Piano
(13 March 2008) - A collaboration between Italian designer Luigi "Allergic to Straight Lines" Colani and German piano-makers Schimmel in the late 1990s, the Pegasus grand piano looks like something you'd see on a Star Trek set.

(14 February 2008) - We have a winner! Of the dozens of entries, voters at Popdeck narrowed it down to three and after a close vote here at the CH headquarters, we ultimately chose CSJ 89's hyperbolic take on OCD.
