A celebration of graphic design

I wish I could keep every beautiful design very close to my heart. But instead, these designs get lost. They go in one eye and out the other. But Albert Exergian‘s clean designs are ones that are worth committing to memory (hence a whole blog post dedicated to him!). I stumbled upon Albert Exergian on the Guardian’s website.

If you didn’t already take a hint, I’ve always had a love the retro, so here’s to modernism!

Exergian is an Austrailian graphic designer who started this personal project based on his love of TV, modernism & posters. Definitely wouldn’t mind having a few of these on my wall…

Craving apartment kitsch

I have been meaning to update more frequently but all I could find myself doing was online window shopping! So I figure, better to spread the love than keep it to myself.

I was scoping out the NY Times trend reports and discovered this awesome retailer called Viva Terra. Say what you will, but if I had money to blow here are some kitschy things I would love to grace our Southern Californian apartment.

Misprint kitchen messages, $98

The above signage is perfect for our breakfast sitting area.

Flip flop doormat, $49

This reminds me of childhood Legos, yessssss.

Feed Sack Hamper and Wastebasket, $33

Collage pouf, $129

African market basket, $49

Lord only knows what I would do with the above woven basket– but I could surely find some utilitarian use for it, right?
