Keds Far Out
Posted in: Uncategorized Everything’s coming up paisley in Keds’ new limited-edition sneakers
Maybe it’s just another post-hippie moment but among all the fringe and tie dye in current fashion, something about the psychedelic patterns of paisley just feels right. For Ked’s ’70s installment of their Century Collection, the classic sneaker brand gets groovy with two new styles. Both limited editions, the men’s thin-wale corduroy ankle boot dubbed The Fab features a smooth satin paisley lining, while the women’s Champion Cool Cat sneaker shows off the print with a silky woven cotton exterior.
Each style sells online exclusively from Keds. The Fab is available in Navy or Oxblood corduroy for $65 and the Champion Cool Cat comes in Smoky White or Fuschia paisley patterns for $45.

Lucky Love Chair
Posted in: Lucky Love, Maarten Baptist
Il designer olandese Maarten Baptist ha disegnato questa Lucky Love Chair, prodotta sin ora in formato prototipo per soli 5 pezzi. Interessante secondo me l’uso dei materiali e la forma dello schienale in legno.

The increasingly green designs of Jeff Casper, Part 2
Posted in: UncategorizedIn addition to in-store displays, two other areas in which designer Jeff Casper has focused his green efforts are chairs and racks. A series of folding chairs he’s done for a child’s treehouse are made with reclaimed Brazilian hardwoods in a variety of species, as is the tiltable, height-adjustable table he’s made to go along with them:
His standing rack for storing wetsuits, which also features slots for skateboard storage, is made with reclaimed and remilled Redwood, as is his 30-board-holding surfboard rack:
And his handsome bike rack uses the R/R Redwood with R/R Douglas Fir.
Check out the rest of Casper’s thick book on Coroflot.
