Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a Ride!

Sometimes it’s rain, gravel, climbing, or cookies and coffee in the middle of nowhere. Really it’s as much about your state of mind as where you are and what you are doing. The rider makes the experience and the bike is just the ultimate accessory.
I grew-up riding 21-pound steel race machines, bikes you could ride hard and put away wet. After a race, we’d throw them into the back of a truck, not worried about paint or our carbon bars breaking. In the last 20 years it’s seems like bikes and riders both are little less hard. The heroic hard-man mythology, the Euros’ and their spring classics, continue to motivate me, though I think it’s being diluted by plastic bits and flammable parts. I like down-tube shifters, lugged steel and riding without a helmet, but that’s just me. If a carbon bike works for you, grab your 10-speed ride and let’s go suffer some cobbles together.

Œnotravel is a beautiful box to discover and recognise the aromas of 50 European wines, on the road.
Evoking aromas is one of the pleasures of wine; one sniffs them gradually, letting their smells awaken echoes and souvenirs, sometimes fleetingly, sometimes with insistence. Every grape variety has its aromatic “footprint“, with its particular range of smells. And each individual has their own degree of sensitivity and experience. The aromatic depth of a wine stems from the multiple combinations between these two poles: transmitter and receiver. Take Oenotravel® with you in every place where life is sweet: restaurant, wine bar, wine store, holidays in wine regions… This box contains: 24 Aromas Flasks and 1 Aromas Guide (320 pages: 50 appellations 32 wine regions maps).

Lisbon
on Another Something & Company

Lisbon was amazing! We arrived on a friday night and first thing we mentioned was the calm and quiet ambience of this city. The green balconies packed with beautiful plants didn’t suffered from the 4 months without rain. The only sound that seeped through the open windows of our apartment were the bright tones of birds in the wild garden of the old monastery behind the house in the Graça neighborhood. The apartment is the beautiful place of design journalist Maria Ulecia called Mi Casa en Lisboa. One house, four different rooms, with spectacular views and a personal, friendly service all to make you feel like you are at home. And it really felt as our little home in Lisbon for a few days! Shelves full of books, fresh cut flowers and collections of vintage typographic objects around the garden. We crossed the city on foot, visiting the lovely restaurants, shops, and places like LX Factory, The Decadente, A Vida Portuguesa, and more, much more. Best thing we did was enjoying the sunset on the Tagus while on the lovely sailing yacht of Ricardo, seeing Lisbon from the riverside while a small breeze pushed us slowly forward underneath the bridge. We fell in love with Lisbon, and with Mi Casa en Lisboa! Thank you Maria for our temporary home, and thank you Álvaro for being our digital guide. — More images on Flickr, and more places to visit on Another Map —

Minimalux
on Another Something & Company

Minimalux, a London based design brand, got some lovely items in their collection. Modern collections of desk objects, table objects and accessories all with great simplicity and splendor, made out of premium materials and lustrous finishing. Our favorite is definitely this ballpoint pen made from a single fluid sleeve of lasting solid brass. The pen is not plated or lacquered in any way, thus allowing its surface finish to change with use and age – eventually developing a rich natural patina and becoming uniquely personal to its owner. We very much like that!

Vernacular Typography

on Another Something & Company

Vernacular Typography, a project by Molly Woodwarn who started this with Kickstarter, is a digital archive and community-based initiative dedicated to the documentation, preservation, and promotion of vanishing examples of lettering in the everyday environment. It seeks to explore, protect, and support the typographic environment in cities around the world that retain their rich traditions of vernacular signage. The result is a super inspiring website with an ever-growing digital archive of images with the most stunning typography from around the world. It’s hard to say we have one favorite, but this typography of the train station of Florence, Italy already got my heart, and is really well documented by Molly. Simply beautiful!

Another Pre-Summer Playlist

And with some new and crazy good tunes by James Blake, David August, The Knife, Grasscut amongst others, the first few months of 2013 already brought some iconic music. Starting easy, slow and classical, moving more towards electronic sounds and ending in what we think is the ultimate summer midnight ‘end-of-the-night’ tune by Cold Cave. read more…
