The Pioneers of American Industrial Design Stamps
“The Pioneers of American Industrial Design stamp pane honors 12 of the nation’s most important and influential industrial designers. Encompassing everything from furniture and electric kitchen appliances to corporate office buildings and passenger trains, the work of these designers helped shape the look of everyday life in the 20th century. The stamps go on sale in July.” I’ll definitely be picking up some of these when they come out.

Greig Brebner's better umbrella, ella, ella
“An umbrella is only as strong as the tension able to be applied to the fabric stretched across the ribs.

Hidden Radio
“HiddenRadio has either no user interface…or…is all user interface.” Radios and clever industrial design, two of my favorite things in one cool product. So. Awesome.
