Life is Precious

When Wallpaper magazine asked Fort Standard to design a piece for their Handmade Exhibition in Milan during Salone Del Mobile, they set out to design a survival kit with the intention of creating something which looked and felt as precious as its contents. The design became largely about the packaging as it needed to be serious, yet beautiful; an object you could easily bring with you on a day hike or even keep in your car or boat but most importantly an object you would WANT to bring with you everywhere.

I want this!

One of the BEST ad campaigns about representation I have seen.

Everyone has a backbone. Use yours.

you know what i really like about this, is that it shuts the “it’s not offensive, it just means [alternate definition]” crowd right the fuck down. good.

Amazing ad campaign.

tiburongata: youarenotyou: confusedtree: The cult of personality around celebrities like George Takei has always kind of mystified me because while their actual body of work is pretty solid (sometimes I just think about the episode of Adventure Time he was on and burst out laughing in public), their personas are essentially this weird mishmash of assembly line opinions for the lowest common denominator Of course that also very accurately describes a lot of the meme culture that’s moved to the forefront of the collective consciousness in that it’s minimal, cookie-cutter effort for disproportionate responses George Takei posts something as shitty and sexist and harmful as this stupid thing and the people who love George Takei just love him more because of it and the cycle repeats ad infinitum because anyone who gets upset about how shitty this is and the fact that it’s coming from a celebrity they up until now loved on a platform seen by literally millions of people gets labelled as someone who simply “takes the internet too seriously” Don’t conflate being a decent human being with being gay, famous, and aware of who grumpy cat is ugh, he posts the most offensive shit all the time and when people call him on it he makes follow ups that are even more gross and ugh This made me angry. He also issued a very heartfelt apology shortly afterwards.  He realized that he stepped over the line with this one.

The cult of personality around celebrities like George Takei has always kind of mystified me because while their actual body of work is pretty solid (sometimes I just think about the episode of Adventure Time he was on and burst out laughing in public), their personas are essentially this weird mishmash of assembly line opinions for the lowest common denominator

Of course that also very accurately describes a lot of the meme culture that’s moved to the forefront of the collective consciousness in that it’s minimal, cookie-cutter effort for disproportionate responses

George Takei posts something as shitty and sexist and harmful as this stupid thing and the people who love George Takei just love him more because of it and the cycle repeats ad infinitum because anyone who gets upset about how shitty this is and the fact that it’s coming from a celebrity they up until now loved on a platform seen by literally millions of people gets labelled as someone who simply “takes the internet too seriously”

Don’t conflate being a decent human being with being gay, famous, and aware of who grumpy cat is

ugh, he posts the most offensive shit all the time and when people call him on it he makes follow ups that are even more gross and ugh

This made me angry.

He also issued a very heartfelt apology shortly afterwards.  He realized that he stepped over the line with this one.
