One of the more sensible collabs, APC have continued working with K-Way. It’s not exactly suited for a hot summer – that phrase sounds silly, but if you live in the UK you’ll know what a cold summer looks like. So if you’re still enduring April showers in July, this is the jacket for you. (End)

Furni continues to play with traditional Canadian footwear this summer. You might remember their fine attempts to “Rock the Moc,” in the form of two “Rockassins.” The Canadian design firm is keeping things a touch simpler this go round, offering two lowtop mocs – one in caramel and one in black – both traditionally constructed.

Furni is taking orders for these beauties through August 4, 2011.

Curated lets us know about this. “artrepublic (42 New Compton Street, London, WC2H 8DA) is to release a limited edition print of Dave White’s iconic Eagle painting through its Soho gallery on Thursday 28th July.” See more over at Curated.

File this under ’smart idea we wish we’d have thought of but not really because we wouldn’t have had the first idea of how to make it’ (an admittedly very long folder filename). These lights are adjustable, making sure that the street gets better lighting coverage than the traditional street light. If nothing else, it will bring an end to the traditional ‘walking away from the spotlight’ scene in movies. (Designboom)

Take a leap, see more images.

Clunky headline aside, this is as ronseal of a post as they come. Artist Takesi Sano has created clouds on the ceiling of a restaurant using over 25,000 wooden sticks. The effect is beguiling and something we’d like to attempt for our house, if we weren’t so sure we’d give up after half an hour. (Fubiz)

Maison des Centraliens have been given the Maison Martin Margiela makeover treatment. Reopening in May, the hotel – a former home of a Viennesse princess – has been given a decidedly ‘2001′ look. (Fastcode design)

Take a look for yourself after the leap.

03. Famous for the wrong book

“Why is it that the book for which an author is best known is rarely their best? If history is the final judge of literary achievement, why has a title like Louis de Bernières’ Captain Corelli’s Mandolin risen to the top, overshadowing his much better earlier novels such as Señor Vivo and the Coca Lord? It’s not, I hope, the simple snobbery of insisting that the most popular can’t be the finest. (After all, who would dispute that Middlemarch is George Eliot’s peak? … You would? Great, there’s a space for you in the comments below.)” (The Guardian)

04. Looking hard with a book

“With reference to my recent foray into the mini-ghetto between QPR FC and The BBC armed only with a Nineteenth century novel in paperback, my literary and language advisor has brought these paintings to my attention. It would seem that books need to be teamed with head gear if any sort of agro’ assertion is to be achieved.” (Style and Error)
