INSIDE/OUTSIDE

LOVE this sitting area featured in the new Acne Paper. The caption reads "An armchair designed by Axel Vervoordt in the Castle's orangery." Orangery? Guess I should go check out the full issue -- image found online.

WHOA

Part psychological inquiry, part political statement, these colorful portraits of past death-row inmates by Julia Ziegler-Haynes are super eerie. Found at Refinery29, via artist and photographer pal Brook Schneider.

SPEAKING OF...

Speaking of Walter Gropius, here's a nice selection of typefaces designed in the spirit of the Bauhaus by Gábor Kóthay for Fountain Type.

My favorite inspiration board, Old Chum, belongs to Old Faithful Shop in Vancouver, BC -- one of my favorite cities.
