It's been a while since I've done a round-up post of all "Good Things" so I thought I'd bring it back and show a little love to the things I'm enjoying at the moment from around the web.

-----

Converse 1970's 3-Panel - I've been on board the Converse 1970's gravy train for a while now, and for good reason. They're superior in comfort, have a bunch of original features and the materials used feel a little more considered + durable. END have just got the Converse 3-Panel 1970 version in Red, White + Blue. I was thinking USA but Nik seems to think they're a homage to the Tour de France.

3D Printed Bowls - These bowls by Digital Natives have been created using a 3-D printer, actually being created a couple of years ago, which just goes so show how advanced the technology was. Imagine what we'll be creating in five years time?

Lost Toon's City - This branding project for a nostalgic theme park concept entitled, "Lost Toon's City", inspired by the golden age of animation. Can't stop looking at the project, it's so well done and right up my alley.

Fjallraven Rucksack No.21 - Over the years I've gone through a ton of backpacks, which I put down to inferior fabrics and skipping corners construction techniques. Any bag I buy needs to be able to take a weight, be made from water resistant fabric and have oodles of compartments. It's best to turn to the outdoor folks (even though you're in the city) with experience in the field, like Fjallraven. The Fjallraven Rucksack No.21 ticks all the boxes, plus it comes with space for your laptop, removable seat pad + pretty much any weather condition.

Designs of the Year 2014 - We're heading back to London in a couple of weeks, and one thing I'm really looking forward to is visiting Designs of the Year 2014 exhibition at the Design Museum. Pictured here is the LEGO Calendar, which helps colleagues organised their week, working both on and offline with iCloud technology.

Beavertown Gamma Ray Beer - Yep you guess it, I was drawn to this stuff because of the design. I'm glad we tried it though as Beavertown's Gamma Ray was an absolute treat. Their other beers look just as mental too, with crazy illustrations over the cans. If Gamma Ray is anything to go by then they're all be worth the money.

Mamnick Lite Socks - I've been getting into cycling more and more of late, so I think it's about time I actually looked the part. This new release by Mamnick could be the first step, literally.

  1. Those converse are pretty legit!

    Not a lot floating my boat these days, but I'm hoping that changes soon. Feeling uninspired is the pits!

  3. My Herschel is beginning to come about and I've only had it about 18 months. Puh.

    I've flicked through some Printed Pages but I've never actually read one. Should I pick one up?
