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. Luckily, our friends at United Bamboo have teamed up with design firm, For Office Use Only, to transform the hoary cube into a cubicle centerpiece. Designed by Anh Tuan Pham, the cube lifts images from United Bamboo's campaign photography and places them onto an elaborate sequence...

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. Recent years have seen the worlds of mega-business and street art colliding with unprecedented frequency. 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....
