Metrio Coffee

Designed by Robinson Cravents | Country: Colombia “The Metrio Coffee identity was first inspired by the classical vintage themes of ancient Greece (the Athenian owl and olive branches) and later combined with a modern yet simple design. The word Metrio is derived by the most common way Greeks drink their short black coffee – METRIO – meaning short black with one sugar (medium sweetness).  The combination of the name, the traditional themes and selected colours (brown, coffee, silver, blue, gold) compliment the overall design and gives the brand the classical, fresh and simple perspective it requires to make its mark.”

A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter

Véritable oeuvre d’art geek, ce cube en acrylique d’environ 20 cm sur 20 est une réalisation aussi originale qu’intrigante. Conçu par Caleb Larsen, A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter cache en réalité tout un dispositif, dont le seul but est de se mettre automatiquement en vente sur eBay. Si l’enchère disparaît ou que la sculpture trouve un nouvel acquéreur, cette première sera immédiatement recréée, pour continuer ainsi le cycle indéfiniment ! Prix à l’heure actuelle : 4250 $.

Spin asks: What are the top ten books you believe designers should read?

UK based design firm Spin recently asked major figures in design what are the top books every designer should read. 50 designers old and new from Wolfgang Weingart to Peter Saville made a contribution outlining the books that had the most influence on them. The result is a broadsheet format listing of an eclectic 500 books from Cat In the Hat by Dr Zeus to Typographica. The paper is available for $5 which is a small price to pay for such a comprehensive list of information. A must for any practicing or aspiring designer.
