Sometimes gift shopping is really tough, especially if a new friend’s birthday comes up.  You know the person well enough to celebrate, but not quite well enough to get something truly personal.  It’s almost embarrassing to show up with a generic bottle of wine when you care about someone.  Maybe I just don’t like wine that much.

Regardless, some 3D drawing tools (or art supplies in general) are much much better gifts!

The 3D sketch pad has a grid that makes any doodle seem to pop off the page when viewed with 3D glasses.

Italian fashion house Byblos has recently shown architectural, body conscious clothing with a definitively Italian take on sex and trends.  Independently of that direction, Byblos also maintains a very colorful, distinct furniture line in collaboration with Erre Studio.  Art directed by Alessandro Mendini, the pieces have classical lines executed in bright upholstery and paint.  Which is not a premise that should intuitively work, especially given that notable designers such as Philippe Stark have already mined the modernized-classical-pieces territory.

Regardless, they’re fantastic.  They bring to mind a Memphis take on styles favored by Marie Antoinette and various kings named Louis.

To celebrate the release of Andreas Tilliander’s latest album, Show, his label, Adrian Recordings, commissioned a series of remixes from others on its roster.  Though the album has a darker mood, this track sparkles with Familjen’s bright pop sensibilities.  This remix is not the first time Tilliander and Familjen’s Johan T Karlsson cross paths – Tilliander has toured with Familjen, and they both grew up in Hässleholm, Sweden.

It’s hard to adapt art to an everyday object and keep it cool.  We’ve seen Mona Lisa fridge magnets, Starry Night coffee mugs, and David coasters.  The veneer of a masterpiece doesn’t improve these souvenirs.  However, this Shiro Kuramata-designed cabinet actually builds on the work of Piet Mondrian.  The addition of functionality gives Mondrian’s flat grid another dimension.  The play of different sized drawers brings another insight into the composition.  It’s a true homage and a worthy extension of Mondrian’s work.

I love it.  It’s no coincidence that these photos look good on this website.  Next time I see a Mondrian painting, I’ll probably imagine what could fit into each implied drawer.

Goteborg-based Kristofer Åström’s slow-burn acoustic tracks are very emotionally evocative – so much so that they sound nostalgic well before they attach to actual memories. His latest album Sinkadus came out last month on Sweden’s excellent Startracks.  His music’s already your favorite, so you better start enjoying it now!

Kristofer Åström – “Twentyseven”

Get “Twentyseven” as a split 7″ (with All Fox) through Sound/Friends

Get the album Sinkadus through Bengans or Klicktrack

Visit Kristofer Åström on MySpace, his site (placeholder site, actually), or on Startracks

To commemorate the brand’s 50th anniversary, MINI reinterpreted George Harrison’s psychedelic Cooper S.  The car will be auctioned to benefit a Harrison’s Material World Charitable Foundation, an organization dedicated “the exploration of alternate and diverse forms of artistic expression, life views and philosophies as well as a way to support established charities and people with special needs.”
