'peach bag

via the maine effect

This is my new bag. It's called the Yoshimi Felt bag. It's made by hand by Elsie Moshimer, the Maine-based creator of Salty Peach designs. Elsie started Salty Peach to communicate the need for people to slow down and focus on long-term. “I am generally impatient with monotony, and with the mass production addiction that our society has fallen victim to, so you won’t find many repeats in my work.” She prefers found and recycled materials. For beach season, she’s designed a bag made of vinyl screen to filter out the sand, and hold the shells and treasures you want to take home. Let’s just say, she’s one of the most enchanting entrepreneurs we know.

Berlin-based Raumlabor creates urban environments, installations, and architecture. Big crunch, above, "is a gathering place and forum for conflict and discussions.” Made from  a heap of discarded objects, the mound of recycled household materials includes fridges, windows, furniture, and doors.

Artist Drew Kelly highlights the American landscape in a beautiful, longingly sad capture of "feeling both familiar and foreign." His work integrates natural and man-made elements in a power play that gives the impression that neither can be victorious when juxtaposed against the other.

John's Phone.

Making the list for "Best Ideas in Interface" in December's issue of Fast Company, John's Phone has officially arrived in the US. Marketed as the "world's simplest cell phone," With no camera, no text capability, or even multiple ringtones, John's Phone removes itself from many of the luxuries we enjoy indulging upon in the palm of our hands. What it does have is great design by Dutch company, John Doe Amsterdam. Appearing like the rich European cousin to the pager, John's Phone has easy to use capabilities like answering phone calls, then hanging them up, along with adjusting volume up or down. A small paper address book tucks away inside a pocket on the back while a tiny pen slides in the side of the phone. The only real options available to consumers on John's Phone are in its colors, which are, "snow" (white), "grass" (green), "tree" (brown), "sweet" (pink), "business" (black) and limited edition, "bar" (gold).., making this the perfect cell phone for any curmudgeon or misanthrope.
