Thought this was interesting especially after our trip to New Mexico. It definitely has that southwestern feeling but in a great modern way. The Explora Hotel in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. German del Sol, architects. Via archdaily.com.

Steinhart Watches

Back to basics watches from Steinhart available at Gnomon Watches. I love the skeleton backs on these and at about $500-$600 a pop, an actually affordable route for a dandy Swiss watch.

Narrow Pavers

I've got to remember these pavers when it comes time to deal with my backyard. More pictures on Stepstone's website. It reminds me of that asian esthetic I was looking for in my bathroom tiles.

Brooks Trouser Strap

Good idea for those chilly rides in where the pant roll might not be as good an option. From Brooks.

Freeman's Sporting Club

F.S.C. Story

Freemans Sporting Club was borne out of a gathering of close friends playing pool, carousing, and drinking whisky above Freemans Restaurant in New York City. The regular meetings led the group to organize trips to camp, shoot, fish, and enjoy time in nature outside the concrete canyons of New York. When Taavo Somer, the defacto leader of the troupe, created his menswear line in 2004 it was only natural that the garments be named, F.S.C., after the club, ideals, and activities that inspired them.

The entire F.S.C. brand is built around the vanishing trade of handmade clothing. It is built to be durable and made to worn day in and out. In the modern landscape of disposable fashion, F.S.C. strives to create classically styled clothing to stand the test of time and last long enough to be willed to your heirs.

Break it to make it

This salt & pepper set comes in one piece and you have to break it to expose the holes the spices come through. Kinda fun. Via designboom.

Ice Cream Cone Light

I love when someone (design) recognizes a similar shape in a totally different medium. How can you look at that CFL and not think about Dairy Queen? Genius. From Mixko.
