We love candles. Seriously, we can’t get enough and it’s beginning to become a problem. The chances of us sticking to that vow of candle abstinence are looking pretty bleak right now, which is kinda okay. When we first stumbled across Pyropet candles, we couldn’t believe how adorable the Kisa cat was! Cut in clean asymmetric lines, Kisa comes in two colours, a light rosy pink, or a beautiful charcoal grey. The best way to describe what happens when you light them comes from the horses mouth themselves, “A cute cat shaped candle reveals the wild...

Um did you hear the amazing news? Some Wes Anderson mega fan (slash generally amazing human being) decided to make a compilation mix of literally every song (bar a few) that has featured in a Wes Anderson film ever! This is no belated April Fool’s joke, oh no, this our friends is the real deal. Trust us, this is a mix you won’t be getting over any time soon, not with the nostalgia and all that jazz.

“The pen knows where it’s going, and I’ve gotten very good at following.” British artist Shantell Martin has intrigued us for some time now with her black and white line drawings. Based in New York, this talented lady has made a name for herself through her spontaneous, unplanned, stream of consciousness drawings. And her drawings don’t just stop at the page. Shantell’s daily uniform is all white, from her shirt, shorts and down to her Converse shoes, and covered in scribbles from head to toe. She inhabits the world her art is in, and her art...

Things we talk about when we talk about graphic design; the insanely beautiful and influential work of Ikko Tanaka.

One of the most famous Japanese graphic designers and even dubbed a 'Graphic Master', Tanaka is written into history for creating an iconic, contemporary style of design. He fused modern principles with traditional Japanese aesthetics and developed a ground-breaking visual language that is still referenced today.

Tanaka was born in 1930 in Nara. He studied at the Kyoto City College of Fine Art and graduated 1950, initially working in textile design before moving on to...
