So i took these pictures quite a while ago, but i still think these shoes are different and innovative (even if i wouldnt wear them). Plus they look like space shoes.

Has anyone read the article about the new breed of Swedish designers in last May's issue of Wallpaper? I suggest you check it out, it seems that Swedish designers are rebelling against the Swedish design standards. Sounds good

travolta i love those old things you posted! i love antiques. the rocking horses are absolutely amazing! and i love that radio. i also saw a pair of salt and pepper shakers you posted a long time ago and thought you might like these:



hug salt and pepper shakers! when i worked at the SFMOMA store, i was dying to get these (and the tord boontje wire flower light fixtures) but i never did! i regret that now.
