Go-Ped Know-Ped
I love my Go-Ped [goped.co.uk]. There, I’ve said it. Sure I look like a some wierdo 30-nothing super geek wizzing about olde London town on my sooped-up LA-stylee ride-on scooter. In a compact city where cyclists take their life into their hands every time they hit the road, becoming part pedestrian seems much more appealing. Proper Californian Go-Peds come with wooden decks and an ‘aircraft grade’ chassis so they take a lot more punishment than your tin-foil, fold-up variety. Only gripe is the occasional grumpy-arsed shop keeper who kicks you out the store if you bring it in with you… oh and that tacky silver logo. The old logo is so much better, just needs a bit of a redraw.
Eames House of Cards
Much imitated but never bettered, the Eames House of Cards is our second ‘thing’. It’s a thing of things really, depicting what Charles Eames famously described as ‘good stuff’. If you ever stumble across the 1970 revision entitled ‘A Computer House of Cards’ grab it, they’re like gold dust (just make sure you post a few pics of ‘em somewhere so all of us can have a geez).
Self Service’s 100 Things
As an ode to Self Service [selfservicemagazine.com] magazine’s ‘100 Things’ series of features (sadly discontinued) we’re going to attempt our own list of 100 things (in 100 posts). That should keep us busy, huh. The first of our ‘things’ has to be the aforementioned ‘100 Things’ series and to kick it off here’s a few spreads to feast yer eyeballs on (click on an image to see if larger). Design & direction by Petronio Associates (formely Work in Progress) [petronioassociates.com]. More ‘things’ to come… 1 down, 99 to go.
