Here are some random things I’ve enjoyed reading/watching that I thought you might like too.


The age of average

Thought-provoking essay by Alex Murrel about the homogeneity of lots of our modern designed and built environment.

“So, there you have it. The interiors of our homes, coffee shops and restaurants all look the same. The buildings where we live and work all look the same. The cars we drive, their colours and their logos all look the same. The way we look and the way we dress all looks the same. Our movies, books and video games all look the same. And the brands we buy, their adverts, identities and taglines all look the same.”


A new coat hanger - design process

Interesting insight the iteration of an idea. In this case a coat hanger by Simone Giertz that became a Kickstarter project.
