Letterpress Love

Lesley Taylor |

Letterpress has come along way since Gutenberg invented it in the mid-15th century. Since then it has gone from the only game in town to being the darling of the slow print movement. Letterpress takes time and skill, which in the digital age is pretty unrealistic as a form of production.

Tugboat Printshop

Lesley Taylor |

Not all things handmade are well made. And sometimes the "maker" revolution feels simply too contrived and ripe for parody. However, when I see the work of Tugboat Printshop, I feel inspired.

Fullgive Leather

Lesley Taylor |

Hailing from Utah, Fullgive's Scott Rawlings quit his day job in 2009 and started making belts in his bedroom. It's not an unfamiliar story for independent designers and, at least for Rawlings, seems to be working out quite well.

Tesler & Mendelovitch

Lesley Taylor |

With wooden clutches that look like portable sculptures, the work of Israeli designers Tesler & Mendelovitch is like having your own personal, and wearable, piece of art. While the design is unmistakably modern and minimal, the geometric design not only adds architectural detail, but makes the clutch flexible and comfortable to hold. Made from a variety of woods, such as … [Read more...]
