This stunning wine holder would fit perfectly in any home, it’s simplistic and contemporary without being pretentious. I enjoy when a product uses factors such as gravity, and incorporate it into the design of the product.
This product can be found on multiple websites, it retails for about £28 (roughly $58 CAD, price including shipping),  best [...]

I can’t quite express how excited I was to learn that one half of my favourite Swedish music duo The Knife has a solo project. Karin Dreijer Andersson has recently re-envisioned herself as Fever Ray and what can I say? I’m hooked.
For those not familiar; The Knife was that little band which crafted unique [...]

I love summers, especially patios during the summer. Hitting up the patio scene is definitely on the top of my list of rad things to do. Yes, that’s right. I said rad. Jealous? I’m always on the hunt, trying to find the next best patio-centric hot spot. Lis, James, Christy and myself ventured to one [...]

I’ve been hearing a lot about Copenhagen lately. Aside from it’s incredible architecture, it’s seemingly exotic name, and its Finger Plan the capital city of Denmark is also home to one of my favourite poppity-pop rock bands as of late – Figurines. I’m currently most familiar with their 2006 release Skeleton, the majority of which [...]

Sometimes I just can’t help but feel compelled to share with you some of the amazing artists we have the opportunity to showcase in the NATION gallery. For the month of June we’ve been fortunate to showcase the artwork of Chris Brett. His work has just the right mix of comic surrealism and [...]

This installation by Villareal started in September of 2008 and will [...]

If you’re looking for a pick-me-up with a side of melancholy, than here’s the group for you. I had the opportunity to see Forest City Lovers perform at Pop Montréal last year and they didn’t disappoint; they kept the crowd entertained and cast an overall fun mood. Seems as though they’re hard at work on [...]

I’m not quite sure how I found this one, but it sure is a gem. If you’re into the real world of perusing tangible quality, or if you’ve ever had the desire to publish your own magazine head over to MagCloud right a-way.
I’ve an acquaintance who just dropped $1,300.00 CAD on Issue 2 of his [...]

It’s a very tetris week here on the SplashFan, and I thought I’d share this product that would make any shower or back splash 100% less boring… Tetris tiles.  Knowing that you can choose your schematic in layout and colour scheme (they even match Pantone colours), makes this the most designy *slash* beautifully-nerdy concept ever.  [...]

This post may be a quicky, and honestly I wish it didn’t have to be that way because the sounds of Brooklyn-based Au Revoir Simone certainly deserve more time. I’ve been listening to their 2005 release Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation and I’ve been diggin’ the sort of casio-beat lullaby pop feel [...]
