MadeThought is a London based design studio excelling in basically everything. I think the shopping bags are fantastic. The packaging for James Brown London makes me want to order the products.

Super Fun : Nina Braun

Nina Brauns work is quirky and fun. She uses a wide range of materials and works in various mediums. From furry sculptures to skateboards, I really enjoyed exploring her portfolio. I think Lovesculpture might be my favorite... but there are so many great pieces to look at! Check it out here!

italian delight

My little sister brought me back the most adorable notebooks from her semester abroad in Rome, Italy. I decided to look up the company today, thinking that maybe they had other cute paper goods. Fabriano has lots of great stuff! I wish I could go to Italy and pick some up!
