With great anticipation the 2010 F1 season got underway this weekend in Bahrain. Plenty of changes with rules, drivers and teams.

One of the biggest moves was double World Champion Fernando Alonso piloting the Ferrari.

A perfect winter, a perfect start.

We are well on our way…

Wonderful photography and a great mixture of subject matter in this online portfolio.

My favorite by far is the music sections she has put together; Youth Culture, Made in the UK.

Paul Weller & Pete Townshend, London 1980

Recently Alex and I got a private tour of the Palm Springs Art Museum and I have to say it is really nice to visit a museum when they are closed to the public.

My favorite floor had to be the promised works from Donna and Cargill MacMillan, Jr., who have been building a personal collection of the art of their time for more than 20 years. Contemporary sculptures, paintings, design objects, and works on paper from the era’s most well known and art historically significant artists.

Daniell and Greg were kind enough to show us around the facility.

We even got special “artist only” access.

The Graphic Design of Racing Cars

6 February 2010

Stripes, numbers, colors, and logos – the graphic visual look of a racecar has to stand out from all the others as they go zooming by. Most people don’t know that racing cars from the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, and Lotus were given their looks not by marketing strategists or designers, but by pure chance. Go Faster is a collection of over one hundred examples of racecar design that documents the carefree anarchy in which they were created.

In the book, colorful racing cars are featured next to blank, white models. Thanks to this juxtaposition, Go Faster not only takes its readers on a breakneck ride through images of racing history, but also shows them exactly how the graphics modulate the look of the vehicle. The neutral models in the book also give readers ample opportunity to imagine their own possibilities for graphic design in motor sports.

The time and effort invested in the look of racecars is strangely out of balance compared to that used to shape the bodywork or engineer the technology present in the car. But perhaps it is precisely this amateur quality, this anarchy and randomness that results in the irresistible attraction that racing cars and their graphics have on us. There are, of course, countless books on racing cars, but Go Faster is the first to focus on the graphic design of these machines. This makes the book an ideal gift for anyone interested in racing and high speeds.

Julia Chiang

4 February 2010

Our good friends at The Standard Hotel in New York have produced a small edition of 50 palm-sized apples with artist Julia Chiang. Each handmade of delicate porcelain and glazed a rich glossy red.

Each piece comes tucked into a special wooden box that’s been burned with the details of the edition. The box is signed and numbered

The new shop (designed by Roman Alonso and Claire Darrow) in the hotel opens 12 February 2010 with Julia working on an installation in the space for the opening.
