Format Wallpaper ReUp
(28 May 2008) - Format Magazine recently released a wave of over 70 fresh wallpapers celebrating its 40th issue. Many are recycled covers from past issues but our favorites transform sneakers from commodity to an artistic medium. For example, "SNKR City" plays off of Frank Miller's graphic novel/superhero aesthetic, placing an eye-catching pair of Nikes into a noir setting. We also like how the 40th Anniversary issue cover,...

Wallpaper Design Awards 2008
(11 January 2008) - Wallpaper unveiled its “Design Awards” series recently with some interesting results.

Best domestic appliance goes to the "Katamari 01" speaker by...
