Hamba Kahle - Ngiyabonga kakhulu

2008-04-07T07:12:00.001+02:00

I am a firm believer that if you do not do something properly, you should not do it at all. I feel I am neglecting SprayGlue because of many reasons, the main being a lack of time to post good material. Unfortunately money talks and I have to walk. I am focusing on my freelance design, my surfing (that I am getting back into, I have to buy a longboard as my short board is just not cutting it), my family and amazing group of friends as well as general people watching and photography. I want to say a big thank you to a few people (please if I leave you out it is not because I don't care it is just because my memory and attention span go hand in hand), Heather Moore, Grace Bonney, Craig Parsons, Jessica Goldfond, JP, Christopher de Beer, Bovril and Banana toast, The Kings of Leon and most of all the guy/girl who invented post-it notes. But a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to look at SprayGlue and leave an amazing comment. To the people who left krap comments, I hate you a little.

Hamba Kahle - Ngiyabonga kakhulu

Love & Peace

Facehunter Favourites

2008-04-03T07:12:00.000+02:00

My Facehunter favourites this week/month.

Jess Bonham

2008-04-01T07:12:00.000+02:00

This photography is incredible. Very Pretty. Jess Bonham.

Sukie

2008-03-28T07:12:00.000+02:00

Sukie produces notebooks, tea towels, journals, sketchbooks and loads more. I love this illustration style, reminds me of old tourist postcards and Olympic posters.

Urban Ladies

2008-03-27T07:23:00.000+02:00

Urban Outfitters (USA) has always got the current trends in the ladies ranges. I personally love the gypsy/prairie look that is emerging amongst the styles. Nice soft colours and fabrics.

David Foldvari

2008-03-27T07:12:00.000+02:00

Great illustration from David Foldvari.

Soia & Kyo Winter 2008

2008-03-25T07:12:00.000+02:00

What a great long weekend! And apparently the 2nd of May has also been declared a public holiday here in South Africa. That is fantastic news! The Winter ranges have started popping up in stores and there are some interesting pieces out there. Soia & Kyo is no exception. Their amazing site and great photography make for some easy browsing.

2008-03-17T07:12:00.000+02:00

I am very sorry for the lack of posts recently but I needed to unplug myself from my networks to restore and refresh myself so that my design and my blog content does not become redundant and boring. In future posts I will be looking at more niche sub-cultures and design categories to help differentiate SprayGlue as a design blog. So please don't be angry or sad, SprayGlue will be back in more accurate action asap.

Khai Liew

2008-02-28T07:12:00.001+02:00

Khai Liew is my favourite furniture designer. His collections angular clean lines were inspired by folding paper and angular wood carving. Beautiful and fantastic!

Established & Sons

2008-02-26T07:12:00.000+02:00

Always hungry for furniture design and beautiful chairs, Established and Sons filled my appetite this morning with a visual feast from their collections. Beautiful work.

Dieter Rams

2008-02-25T07:12:00.001+02:00

While browsing through Dieter Rams incredible work that he designed for Braun I came across a couple of great black and white layouts that immediately caught my eye. I love that the photo is the hero, glorifying certain aspects of the product in the shot. Great typography.

The Last Mix Tape

2008-02-22T07:25:00.000+02:00

You gotto to love the way these storyboards have been designed. I really love the NFL clash with the universe/galaxy elements. It's like the birth of a star or watching a nebula forming. The Last Mix Tape.

Dearest Darling

2008-02-20T07:23:00.002+02:00

These greeting cards were illustrated by one of my favourite tattoo artists, Angelique Houtkamp. She has created a few product lines that show off her work. Dearest Darling.

BA&SH

2008-02-20T07:23:00.000+02:00

Gorgeous winter collection from BA&SH. This winters fashion is looking fantastic, let's hope it reaches the shores of South Africa.

Mpreis

2008-02-18T07:23:00.000+02:00

Located in the heart of Europe Mpreis is by far my favourite grocery store. Each store is individually designed by different architects to reflect the picturesque landscape that they are built in.

David Downton

2008-02-18T07:12:00.000+02:00

David's work blew me away this sunny monday morning. His recent work, including the portrait of Jack Nicholson for the Baftas 2008 are stunning.

James Day

2008-02-12T07:23:00.000+02:00

I love the lighting in these photographs by James Day. I think if I was in a band I would like to have the band members shot in this style, it seems very real to me.

Velib Paris

2008-02-12T07:12:00.000+02:00

This is such a great idea and although it is not probably the first time it has been used in a city like Paris, I thought it was such a nice design for a bike. Velib is basically a rented bike system that has bike stations located all over Paris for pick-up and drop-off...Cape Town maybe could use this?

HUH

2008-02-11T07:25:00.000+02:00

HUH

Das Monk tees

2008-02-11T07:23:00.000+02:00

Here are some interesting Tee designs from down under. Das Monk.

Frrry

2008-02-08T07:30:00.000+02:00

Frrry creates great ladies bags and wallets that have been designed to celebrate the seams and folds that are often seen as a bi-product of a closed bag. Frrry.

NANO MONSTERS!

2008-02-07T08:00:00.000+02:00

Collect em all! NanoMonsters.

The Velvet Hammer Burlesque

2008-02-07T07:38:00.000+02:00

The Velvet Hammer Burlesque is the world famous burlesque troupe based in Los Angeles that has started the era of Neo-Burlesque, reviving the genre of the American tradition, elevating the classical performance. This book reminds me of the burlesque show I went to in NY, it was so funny and very entertaining. I think the tease has been brought back into to the striptease and burlesque shows are only going to grow in popularity.

Lladro

2008-02-06T07:23:00.000+02:00

I fell in love with these porcelain designs from Lladro. The Re-Deco range was created under the artistic direction of Jamie Hayon. These pieces are beautiful and there are so many to browse through. This is why it gets the SprayGlue Pick of the Week award for amazingly fantastical excellence.

Marloes ten Bhomer

2008-02-06T07:12:00.000+02:00

Product/shoe designer Marloes ten Bhomer in my humble opinion is a genius. I am intrigued by the way the handle of the bag hugs your wrist and the geometric shapes in his shoe designs.

Brasilia Architecture

2008-02-05T07:25:00.000+02:00

"Brasilia was built to be Brazil's new capital city. The idea was to transfer the federal capital of Brazil from the coast to the midwestern interior of the country. Brazil had two capital cities before that: Rio de Janeiro and Salvador da Bahia. By transferring the capital city to the interior, the government intended to help populate that area of the country. People from all over the country were hired to build the city, especially those from the Northeast region of Brazil. Brasilia is known, internationally, for having applied the principles established in the Athens Charter of 1933." - Wikipedia. I have to go there one day!

Alex Brown

2008-02-05T07:23:00.000+02:00

These photographs are incredible, I especially love hoe the backgrounds have been considered to suit the subject shot. Alex Brown.

Urban Ladies

2008-02-04T08:19:00.000+02:00

Gotto to love the new styles for Summer 2008...Urban Outfitters.

John Harris - The wood that was

2008-02-04T07:38:00.000+02:00

John Harris is proving that his theory, that old pieces of furniture can be turned into new stylish pieces, is correct. He is busy exhibiting his work in Paris. Over here.

Sony Style

2008-02-04T07:35:00.000+02:00

I love this Sony Camcorder design. Black exterior with hard angles and lines. Sony Style.

My NY Photographs

2008-02-01T01:57:00.000+02:00

Colette update Jan 2008

2008-01-31T11:25:00.000+02:00

WOW! These items from Colette are amazing! Check out the Nixon watch called The Murf!

Dumpling Man - Soho, NY

2008-01-31T08:40:00.000+02:00

If you haven't tried The Dumpling Mans dumplings you are missing out! They are fantastic! I loved the branding of their restaurant's menus and dumpling cards, very simple but effective.

Just for fun

2008-01-30T08:59:00.000+02:00

I thought this was funny. It reminded me of walking through some of the art museums in NY wondering, "What the hell is that about?"...or maybe I'm just stupid.

Adrian Tomine

2008-01-30T08:29:00.000+02:00

I spotted Adrian Tomines work at Giant Robot (GO THERE!) in NY and immediately loved the clean line of his portraits. He has a showcase of his work in his portfolio, here. Be sure to check out his comic books.

Monocle

2008-01-30T08:17:00.000+02:00

Ok Im sure you all have one of those magazines that when the next issue comes out you cant seem to put it down until it is dog eared and read cover to cover twice. Monocle magazine by Tyler Brulé. I love it so much and the best thing is we have a subscription here at work so I get to read it as soon as it is in our post box! Go buy it you won't be disappointed.

Sleeveface

2008-01-29T08:20:00.000+02:00

This is really good for a laugh, these creative record lovers have taken some great photos of themselves and some of their records. Sleeveface. via Pret A Voyager (V.Good Blog)

Fly

2008-01-29T08:12:00.001+02:00

Fly is an online magazine that is dedicated to fashion, photography and design. They are based in New York and you have access to the great stills taken for each issue. Beautiful photography.

Francesca Magnani

2008-01-28T08:56:00.000+02:00

These beautiful photographs mainly shot in NYC are amazing, they bring back such good memories. Francesca Magnani.

Made Her Think

2008-01-28T08:04:00.000+02:00

Made Her Think jewelry is inspired by the ideal of joy in both life and death, a prolific and imaginative collection by designer Meredith Khan. I personally like the the skull rings, lately I have been partial to the mexican styled illustrations including the skulls etc.

Possibly...

2008-01-25T10:14:00.000+02:00

This could possibly be the best dressed woman in the world...possibly...via Heart Throbs. Piksi.

Christys Crown Series - NY

2008-01-25T08:36:00.000+02:00

I have always been a huge sucker for 3 piece suits finished off with a great fedora styled hat in the same colour as the suit. I was in Urban Outfitters one day and spotted a chocolate brown fedora that fitted my odd sized head perfectly (that doesn't happen often...too many brains up there expanding my head...or was it ego?) The fedora is from the Christys Crown Series and I would recommend checking the collection online if you like hats for 2008. Go here or here.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

2008-01-25T02:58:00.000+02:00

I remember a very cold day when I walked into the store, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I kept ducking into stores so my African blood would heat up a little, man it was cold. Yes Heather, colder than Cape Town, Im not a wimp!

catbird - Brooklyn

2008-01-24T08:26:00.000+02:00

Over the next couple weeks I am going to be post about a few places I stumbled upon while in NY and Brooklyn. The first was Catbird, a small design store in Brooklyn that stocks independant designers wares. I loved the kissing couple pendant.

Robert Capa

2008-01-04T04:45:00.000+02:00

After -5C yesterday in NY, I'm off to see the Robert Capa exhibition. He mostly shot images from various conflicts and it should be a great show. I will post more asap and I have not forgotten about the Portrait Competition. Have a good weekend!

Happy New Years!

2008-01-01T07:13:00.000+02:00

I hope 2008 brings everyone peace, love and prosperity. Thank you all for a great 2007.

Tom Otterness

2008-01-01T06:52:00.000+02:00

While moving around NY I have been making good use of the subway. I particularly like the orange seats and wood panelling of the F and V trains, it's kinda retro and fun. Another feature of the subways for me have been the great little sculptures by Tom Otterness. His little characters add a great sense of humour to a very industrial functional space.

Portrait Friday

2007-12-29T04:49:00.000+02:00

I will be posting the Portrait Friday pics asap, it has been difficult to operate without he few items I lost in my luggage. But I can say the portraits I have received are looking great!

Elle Decoration Blog

2007-12-24T03:30:00.000+02:00

While Im in NY I am posting on the Elle Decoration blog for a week, so be sure to check it out! IT's AMAZING HERE!!

Daily dose of imagery

2007-12-21T08:23:00.000+02:00

Sam Javanrouh records his daily life and experiences through his photoblog. He posts a shot a day and his images are beautiful. If you leave your mouse pointer over the images on his blog, it gives you the technical detail behind each shot. From ISO values to equipment used, very helpful! All prints are available to purchase.

Kelvin

2007-12-21T08:05:00.000+02:00

Colour is everywhere and major feature in our lives, from our homes to the clothes we wear. Colour trends are often inspired by nature and the world around us. Selecting the right colour in a design is crucial to the success of your design and how it is perceived. Kelvin, a book on colour usage, is a good place to start if you need some injections into your colour palette.

Frank Sinatra said it best...

2007-12-21T01:57:00.000+02:00

Im off tomorrow to NY so I will be loading up posts from NY! Im so excited!! Will see you all soon! Keep sending in your submissions for the Portrait Friday Competition, I have some great ones!! Bye bye!

This store is it! Please check it out, Oki-ni.

M65 Field Jacket

2007-12-20T08:54:00.001+02:00

The M65 limited edition Field Jacket is available from Kidrobot stores. Unfortunately it is a whopping $250! I love the simple black exterior, the jacket when opened explodes with colour from the inside.

I will post them up next Friday the 21st of December after the public holiday that Monday, so you got plenty of time! (mail to: garypatitidotac) Can't wait to see them! To get the ball rolling I have posted mine. It is this amazing shot of Sir Edmund Hillary. It shows his strength and rugged character in this beautiful black and white shot. It is very inspiring!

A great idea for a blog, simple idea about beautiful places that you the reader love. Submit yours! Above is mine. What a cool blog! (if anyone has a better word for "cool" please leave it in the comments...it is so tired, haha).

Your lovely places blog.

Medic!!

2007-12-13T08:22:00.000+02:00

I have been man down for a little bit with the flu that seems to be doing its rounds through our office. So when I am fighting fit again I will be posting furiously to catch up on the days I've missed.

Superhotjoy!

2007-12-07T10:09:00.000+02:00

By far my favourite Durban/South African band is Superhotjoy . Garret the lead singer used to come by ITI and sell us these gourmet sandwiches to fund his music. Besides the amazing sandwiches we used to devour, the bands CD cover design has to be put into my top 5 CD designs of all time. It was shot in the Durban Museum, an old relic filled with stuffed animals that leave you feeling slightly haunted. Of course it was done by Disturbance Design...of course.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

2007-12-07T09:43:00.000+02:00

Found via Rebound Book, Thomas Allen blew me away! It's not just the the fact that they cut out but the concepts behind each shot, for example the boxer who is shadow boxing. I would love to own one of these pieces for a wall one day. Beautiful!

On the Rebound

2007-12-06T08:54:00.000+02:00

What an incredible idea! Its always the simple ideas that are the best end products...in my humble opinion. Rebound Books is a small company that sources old neglected hard cover books and re-binds them with environmentally friendly paper. Resulting in totally unique amazing journals!

2007-12-06T08:17:00.000+02:00

Be sure to check out the South African designers feature I put together on the Design*Sponge site. Big thanks to all the designers and Grace for the great post!

Visi Magazine Pt. 2

2007-12-05T10:11:00.000+02:00

I am loving this "red" cover for the holiday issue of Visi magazine. If you ever want good insight to trends and South African design, this is the magazine to read! Available in English and Afrikaans. (Maybe it should be published in one of our other local languages too?) It would have been great if they could have hooked up with the (RED) campaign and donated part of their sales to help combat HIV/Aids in SA...Im full of ideas today, haha! OH! And the cover is Scratch n Sniff! Good idea!

In Luxury

2007-12-05T09:33:00.000+02:00

Jagged edged floral vinyls and wallpapers, you can't get better than this. I absolutely love the geometric/mathematical feel to these floral prints. Great use of colour! In Luxury.

Matthew Hilton

2007-12-04T11:06:00.000+02:00

I was amazed by this Dining Chair produced by designer Matthew Hilton. I spent some time going through his site and I came across his "Inspiration" section. It is such a personal fresh touch to the site, I just had to post the pictures. Enjoy.

Elsewares

2007-12-04T08:46:00.000+02:00

Found these products via Elsewares. I loved the fly catcher necklace. I want a baseball cuff!!! Please can I have one, pretty pleeeaaassse!?

That time of year again??

2007-12-04T04:22:00.000+02:00

Wow this year flew by...how old did I turn again? I did what? No way?! Yip calendars and day planners are popping out everywhere. I especially liked the Pom Day Planner from Fisk and Fern. Check them out here!

Dream House

2007-12-03T09:05:00.000+02:00

This is it. No doubt about it. I will build a replica of this house one day. I am insanely in love with this house and its layout. It is FANTASTIC!! It was featured in the October issue of Dwell. I have read the article 4 times already...and go number 5! Finley/Wamble House.

Caroline Moore

2007-12-03T08:13:00.000+02:00

Besides being in love with Polaroids I love seeing photographs that include Polaroids in their composition. Caroline Moore is not exception and her work has a romantic glow to it. Beautiful.

Andres Gonzalez

2007-11-29T08:42:00.000+02:00

Andres Gonzales has traveled and lived in obscure remote places all over the world recording his travels through his photography. From The Namib and the Ukraine to the Tajik-Afghan border. These images of life are beautiful.

Shoe time!

2007-11-28T04:09:00.000+02:00

These shoes are crazy! I love the olive Nike pair, look how great the Nike logo looks on the back of the shoe!!...but those puffy orange guys are sick!

Real Retro

2007-11-27T09:05:00.000+02:00

This site had me browsing and clicking for absolute minutes! (my attention span is almost zero) I loved all the retro things on this site. If you need to kill some time, head right in down and check out Retro Thing.

Play play AK-47

2007-11-26T08:25:00.000+02:00

If you were a little boy once upon a time, or a tom-boy, you will remember running around the garden with index finger pointed forward and thumb point up. Shooting and blasting your way across the trimmed lawns with an unlimited amount of hand ammunition and sand clog grenades. Later on we got wooden carved guns and the odd plastic Colt 45 to wage war with on the neighbours kids. This brings me to the paper construction set for this AK-47 by designer Martin Postler. Building a model and it is a gun! What more could a boy ask for?

Fashion 156

2007-11-26T07:49:00.000+02:00

This fashion shoot is beautiful and so refreshing after a long long weekend with not much sleep. Fashion 156.

Urban Outfitters Xmas

2007-11-23T09:12:00.000+02:00

Urban Outfitters items that caugh my eye. Im not so sure about those ladies Lux cropped French Terry Pant, what do you think?

Propellor

2007-11-23T08:33:00.000+02:00

It seems bamboo is popping up everywhere. I guess it is easier and faster to grow making it a sustainable product for future furniture use...Why has it taken so long to catch on, the Japanese have been using it for centuries? Propellor.

Homespun Vintage Design

2007-11-23T08:03:00.000+02:00

I found this via The Shiny Squirrel, and just had to post this most amazing stupendous chair and other pieces from Homespun Vintage Design.

Umbra

2007-11-23T01:25:00.000+02:00

Ever find your magazines taking over your life? I certainly do (sheesh I sound like an infomercial). I found some great ways to solve a few storage issues. Umbra.

Muji

2007-11-21T08:44:00.000+02:00

I love Muji. It's that simple.

Shop at Maison Bertaux

2007-11-21T08:00:00.000+02:00

A shop based in Soho, Shop at Maison Bertaux, is situated in Greek Street right by the famous old bakery there. They stock a range of fashion labels that will be sold through their site once they have finished building the site shop. On the site there are short videos of the ranges on offer.

My Urban Outfitters Xmas list

These wallpapers from Deborah Bowness are phenomenal. I think I would only use them as single strips in a room or maybe even at the back of a coat closet, could be pretty.

Well I had a lot of time to think while sitting on the South African Airways plane for hours on friday night while the plane was being lashed by a ferocious storm directly from the bowels of hades. We eventually took off and the trip back was smoothish...so I was thinking of adding a top 10 tunes that Im head humming at the moment...so here they are in no particular order.

1. Knocked up - Kings of Leon (Listen to the drums!)

2. Foundations - Kate Nash (Fun music video, I love the watches wrapping themselves in each other)

3. It means nothing - Stereophonics (Love his rough voice)

4. Sunrise Projector - Tycho (Download these albums)

5. Phenomena - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Gets you rocking the roll)

6. Hunting for witches - Bloc Party (Great chorus)

7. Under my thumb - Rolling Stones (Classic Stones tune)

8. The Heinrich maneuver - Interpol (Lyrics to love. Simple poetry)

9. A kiss to build a dream on - Louis Armstrong (The Satchmo at his best)

10. Weapon of choice - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club ("Where's that leather jacket....?")

BONUS TRACK: Hurt - Johnny Cash (....WOW....)

Wow, I feel like I am in the Alps when I look at the coat rack. It is beautiful. I have always disliked coat racks and stands, but I could consider having this in a hallway or entrance hall. Brave Space Design. Be sure to check out their othe products, especially their coffee table/bench!

These pieces are amazing! I love the desk with the functional space on the right for note pads etc. Some of the other pieces have almost an alien quality to them, especially the way they fold and bend on their hinges. Elucidesign.

Be sure to stay tuned to Design*Sponge over the next week as Grace and I have done a little project to showcase South African designers on her blog. It was originally going to be on the House & Garden site but due to them closing down in the US we had to move it across the D*S. Thanks Grace and all the designers involved!
