So I’ll leave this alone, and say go buy some lotion from Kiehls because it’s for a good KAWS, I mean cause (dumb joke).

Overview
“I am making this site to chronicle the craziest living situation I have ever taken part in. In the month that I subletted a room in this house in St. Charles (a suburb of Chicago), the police have come to the house 5 times, my landlord has been handcuffed twice, and one roommate has been hospitalized. The focus is on my crazy landlord, Gary. Gary is a 63 year old, currently unemployed, overweight, homeowner who enjoys a frequent alcoholic beverage and cigarette. I believe he had bought this house with the intention of selling it for a quick profit. This did not work out, and last I’ve heard the house is going under foreclosure in September.”

After previewing his work last week, Charles Constantine sent over some images of his two latest pieces. Very nice.
The Oona bench and Christopher Chair (above) are part of the “a family affair” series. The original chair, LS ( now Leefa) was made of solid maple, and was primarily an indoor chair. The second chair in the series, Christopher, is an outdoor chair made of aluminum and HDPE. The Christopher chair is cheap(er) to produce and is 100% recyclable. The welds are left on the chair to show off the skill of the fabricator, Christopher Williams.
The Oona bench is basically the child of The LS chair and the Christopher chair. Oona is “mud room” furniture. The Oona bench serves as a seat for two, or a seat for one with a side table, and has a coat rack built into the design. It is solid poplar, HDPE, and aluminum. The Oona bench packs flat, and can be easily assembled and disassembled. The coat rack leg, is affixed with a single, solid piece of stainless steel.
This Flower Vine print by Shepard Fairey will be available today in three colorways (black/white, red/white, red/black).
On a side note, I would like to see Shepard Fairey’s Obey Brand venture into the home. You know like pillows, sheet sets, duvets, curtains, picnic baskets, wallpaper etc…maybe even custom paint colors? Flat black paint with black gloss stencils. Some lucrative shit for sure.

We’re not sure what’s going on over at Urban, but they have stepped it up a bit. The catalogs are tasty and the products are surprising. I know the urban uk carries some high(er) end designs and it now looks like the U.S. site has some nice things as well. For example, this Acacia Wood Twist Stool.
“Hand-carved and completely eco-friendly is this Twist Stool, made from the thick branches of the quick-growing Acacia tree in Thailand – where each branch is cut and carved to order (allowing the tree to continue growing). ”

This is available in The Selby Shop at Colette right now. Kind of creeps me out in a way that I have yet to determine.
