Holiday Reading: Steve Jobs Biography

Info

—01. Biography by Walter Isaacson.

Words

I'm not yet finished the Steve Jobs Biography, but I am already recommending it to anybody I can. You've probably seen it in every store over the holidays, but it really worth picking up. Mr. Jobs' story is extremely inspiring, and there aren't many of us that his products and vision haven't affected today.

Masanori Oji at Mr Kitly

01

Info

—01. Pencil pots, trays, letter weights & bookends.

Words

Working in an array of materials Massanori Oji creates beautiful everyday pieces of practical design. Things for the desk, things for the kitchen, and things for life. Back in October Mr Kitly arranged a show for the Japanese designer at their gallery, and the products featured have remained available to purchase until the end of the year. Which, by my calendar, means you've got less than 2 weeks, if any take your fancy.

We place great importance on minimizing the impact on the natural environment throughout our production process and distribution system.

Raif

Info

—01. New wool swatches.

Words

Raif's collection of beautiful cashmere knit sweaters and accessories has been gaining some nice attention lately. I was finally able to see the products this week. The cashmere is unlike anything I've felt before. While the price is no joke, its a luxury product that is beautifully made. Raif's attention to detail and to the bigger picture are exceptional, and it should be interesting to see the full FW12 collection in New York this January.

Words

There are some brands that you can usually count on to find in the sales. One of the best seems to be SNS Herning. The knitwear brand still makes some of my favorite simple pieces, and right now you can get their classic Fisherman in a lovely burgundy wool for a great price.
