Vintage crate labels from 1950's America, usually fixed to the ends of
wooden crates of farm produce. Bright colours, bold text forms, simple lines,
and an uncomplicated cheerful wit.

Leif.designpark is a design team based in japan, consisting of
Takashi Ueno and Mamoru Naito and Keizaburo Honda.

"Our main work is widely ranged from interior design to art and
industrial products. By cooperating with specialists from arts and
crafts friends, we maintain the highest quality production. Leif.s
overall concept of the "design park" is comprised of a virtual drawing
board. This is a park surrounded bya low hedge, and can be accessed
freely. The object is to broaden Leif.designpark, in conjunction with
the individual participants. In this way, we can share projects with
people from a variety of fields."

Leif.designpark collaborates with artists of various fields on products
and exhibitions. We pursue new possibilities and unexpected discoveries
from these experiences.















" In Japan’s craft culture, predecessors have created much craft work
applying the traditional techniques of parquetry, which brings out the
natural taste of the various types of wood used. The unstained natural
colors of wood must result from absorbing the numerous nutrients
within the soil. The diversity is amazing. Tone is an attempt at producing
furniture using effectively materials and skills established in the Japanese
culture."

The covers of Jack Jerouac's famous 1950's novel of
personal discovery. The On The Road website provides
a quirky glimpse of how his iconic book, has been
graphically presented over time, and in different languages.

Brian Dettmer’s exquisite carved books at Urtopia, a group show curated by
Kelly McCray at Toronto’s Edward Day Gallery.

In a sense, these works are the opposite of collage.

Using surgical tools, Brian Dettmer removes paper like an archeologist releasing
a fossil from layers of sediment, thereby unveiling connections between words
and images hundreds of pages away from each other. The results are breathtaking:
solid and sculptural, with a texture resembling the wood from which the paper pulp
once came.

It's wonderful when a simple idea can, almost accidentally - produce unforeseen,
and remarkable consequences. A great, fun project from the other side of the earth.

Things that are living in the pockets of your bag, jeans or jacket: travel and pay checks,

home in your pockets. They are all the treasures our project is looking for! Our goal is

the lovely, barely there photographs of Loan Nguyen | photographer






























" In the morning mist, the barely visible figure of a woman. As
if on a tight rope, she walks along the edges of a stone pool, one
step at a time. Close by, the same figure appears, creating a hand
shadow on the wall of a rough concrete building, or contemplating
its reflection in the calm waters of a lake...Recollections of childhood
games, moments when one discovers in bewilderment that we are
actually part of this world. Human presence discretely seeps into
the landscapes, softly slides in. A posture, a slight gesture... and
a link is established. A shadow is cast, an object is picked up, a
reflection is seen : the effect of a being on his surroundings always
remains slight. The body may then make its imprint by proxy, by
mere projection. Points of contact appear, bonds are woven, and
these minimalist spaces become territories of introspection"

American LaFrance (ALF) was an emergency vehicle manufacturer, formerly based in Ladson, South Carolina in the US.

The company focused primarily on fire engines and fire trucks (ladders), although they also sold rescue vehicles and ambulances. ALF was founded in 1873 by Truckson LaFrance ( what a great name ) and his partners as the "LaFrance Manufacturing Company," selling hand powered equipment. In 1995, the company was bought by Freightliner LLC, which is a subsidiary of Daimler-Chrysler. This year the company was sold and DaimlerChrysler will utilize the plant for assembly of the 2007 Dodge Sprinter.

O good, just what we need, another nothing Dodge Something
