Biking is not only fun but it's becoming a huge trend and why not show off your prized bike with the Shoes, Books and a Bike frame ($1,182.00). It allows you to frame your bike and gives it a deserved place of honor in your apartment, like a trophy in a glass jar.

Talk about something that was created with some style. This Modern Record Console of the Symbol Audio line which was designed by Blake Tovin and Matt Richmond pays homage to the 50s “all in one” hifi consoles.

Each cabinet is individually crafted in the tradition of fine bench-made furniture from solid American Walnut. The sculptural metal base is constructed from 1/4” plate steel and hand patinated to create a warm natural finish. As a piece of furniture the MRC will undoubtedly become a focal point of any interior.

In a way, I think a lot of 50's style is coming back and people are enjoying the aesthetics of the minimalist style more and more. You can read more about this product on Symbol Audio

I'm hoping it comes in more colors than pink but I got to give it to Yeongkeun Jeong who designed the Reel.  It basically transforms the main triangle of the bike frame into a spot for your belongings. The silicone stickers are attached onto the frame and the elastic band is wound up between them. Unlike common bicycle accessories, the flexibility of the band allows the user to express their style by customizing the shape of Reel.

I just stumbled onto these sweet recycled tape cassette and film reel portraits by artist Erika Iris. Here is what she said about her series that I found to be true and interesting.

In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a phrase (ironically) coined by philosopher Gilbert Ryle, a description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging.
