Fresh From the Dairy: Art for Book Lovers

Calling all book lovers! As you continue to grow your stack of books to read this autumn, consider for a moment placing a tome in a spot other than a shelf or bedside table. Like perhaps the wall. Carry your love of literature even further and pick up a reading-inspired art print for yourself or your favorite book lover from Society6, and be reminded of your favorite pastime all of the time.

Travel Just Got Way More Fun With Arlo Skye X Dusen Dusen

Just two years ago we coveted the collaboration between Arlo Skye and Sight Unseen and now those same feelings have returned with a brand new limited edition luggage collection with Brooklyn-based designer Ellen Van Dusen, founder of one of our favorite indie brands: Dusen Dusen. The Arlo Skye X Dusen Dusen collection puts a happy spin on a basic necessity with a delightful lemon-yellow exterior and a peach interior print featuring one of Dusen’s signature geometric prints.

Ellen Van Dusen says:

Arlo Skye X Dusen Dusen is a collection for creatives, funky moms, sports fans, bee enthusiasts, and people who want to quickly and easily find their suitcase in a sea of identical black bags.

The suitcases are constructed out of lightweight polycarbonate shells that are finished off with tamper-proof, double-coil outer zippers. The lemony exterior has a playful feel that is bound to make rolling through the airport a happier event. Even happier when it’s easy to spot coming around the baggage carousel amongst a trail of basic black bags.

“We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with Dusen Dusen to introduce our first ever zipper collection,” says Issa Llano, head of industrial design at Arlo Skye. “This collection showcases our newest innovation: a carry-on with a cleverly designed hard-shell front pocket that allows you to quickly access your laptop, water bottle, or sweater, without compromising the aesthetics of the case. If your carry-on needs to be gate-checked, no problem. The tone-on-tone hard-shell front pocket (unlike a soft nylon pocket) will comfortably protect your most precious belongings.”

Zipper Carry-On Max

Both Carry-Ons feature an integrated, airline-compliant battery charger that is removable with a single click. The charger will charge your phone to half-way in under 30 minutes!

The suitcases can be purchased immediately at arloskye.com with shipping beginning on November 15, 2019.

Nanatsuji – Seven Ways by Sasaki Architecture

Nanatsuji – Seven Ways is a minimalist apartment located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by Sasaki Architecture. The three-storey wood frame structure features matted metal siding accompanied by a lively cityscape that is bustling with shoppers by day and muted with gentle refuge in the evening.

The architects were careful in considering the local history of the community, most notably the seven road intersection adjacent that is without a traffic signal, which has not seen an accident since 1917. Although the site restricted the volume of the building somewhat, the architects wanted to maintain a strong barrier between the interior and surrounding environment.

Each floor features a unique hybrid space that serves as a buffer between the interior and outdoors. Seven windows array the residences’ western facade, each with a different size, function, and position. The architects wanted to extend a quiet respect to the local community.
