Popsicles + Poptails, Take 2

Little known fact: Design Crush’s most viewed post ever is last June’s popsicle roundup. I’m talking insane numbers, so I think it’s safe to say you guys like popsicles. Like, a lot. I couldn’t leave well enough alone of course, so I went and found even more popsicle recipes. Fifty of ’em to be exact.

Daré alla Lucé

 

 

 

Ethereal. Ghostly. Surreal. Daré alla Lucé is all of these things and more to the casual observer. I love this series of slightly altered photos by artist Amy Friend.

“Through small deliberate interventions, I altered these vintage images, allowing light to pass through them. (After all, photographs are made possible with light.) In a literal and somewhat playful manner, I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Daré alla Lucé, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth.”

Leif

 

 

 

LEIF is one of my favorite shops. You know, the kind where you can picture buying one of everything and know exactly where it would go in your home. Their new arrivals are killing it with a pitch perfect feeling of modern simplicity. And yes, I’ll take one of each. (I wish!)

Pochettes

Who says pocket squares are just for men in blazers? Exactly. The graphic pochettes from P.Johnson Tailors would look so, so good peeking out of a summery white jacket pocket. Maybe grab a few and share with your other half, instantly expanding your accessory options!

Stampo Cups

Notice anything curious about these Stampo Cups? They were each kicked in the bottom with a boot during the molding process, leaving an imprint of the sole. These colorful glasses by Niels Cosman are each hand-formed and entirely unique, not bad for getting kicked in the butt!

Food Type

Barcelona-based artist Nuria Bringué Bergua is the creative mind behind Food Type, a typography book on healthy eating. Bergua cut food into uppercase letters, then photographed them and designed seven books based around the food pyramid and healthy eating. (Worth noting, none of the letters were retouched after photographing!)
