Burn Cottage

Designed by Mash | Country: Australia

"Something we've been looking forward to for a long time, the Burn Cottage wines have been released. The labels, thick uncoated stock with the branding imagery wrapping around the imported French glass, mirroring the poster cut up business cards. Oh, and the wine is just as
tasty as the packaging.

Mash wanted to create a unique brand that communicated the 'hands on' characteristics with the sometimes mystical methods of this biodynamic winery. The founding father of biodynamics agriculture, Rudolf Steiner, was influenced by the writings of Von Goethe and in particular, 'The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily' published in 1795. This is a story about the combining the 'ideal human being' in everyone with 'outer life experiences', the two working in harmony.

'The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily' was the inspiration Mash needed. The various parts of the story have been put together to create an illustrated collage that forms the basis of the Burn Cottage brand imagery used in packaging, promotion and stationery."

Miller Coors

Designed by Kyle Fletcher | Country: United States

"Packaging concept for Miller Coors. 96 oz. of pressurized beer for the Nascar crowd. Drink it, spray it on your friends or wife, or light it on fire."

Sandtrap

Designed by Mash | Country: Australia

"A new wine from Tupelo. First drowning in water, now sinking in quicksand. A different approach was taken to the Tupelo wines, with an abstract molecular illustration of quicksand (instead of the photographic approach of the previous Tupelo wines). Sandy yellowed uncoated paper serves as the backing for this sketched piece done by Peta Kruger and Mash."

Happy Thanksgiving

Here's hoping to a happy Thanksgiving for those of you that celebrate it… fingers crossed that it'll be a safe weekend full of stuffing yourselves silly. Posts will return as usual on Monday.

The Phonekerchief

The Way We See The World has created the Phonekerchief, a polite way of encouraging others to turn off their phones. Starting today, it is available for sale at UncommonGoods, just in time for your holiday shopping!

We may be sitting at the same table, but we are not together: a common condition of our over-wired world. It is time to question what truly nurtures the human spirit. The Phonekerchief is a polite way of encouraging others to turn off their phones and helps jump start new etiquette for our digital world. The Phonekerchief is made of a smart material that blocks phone signals and can be worn in any pocket as a symbol of this movement.

Sally Bridge Metal

I'm usually not a huge fan of all-metal furniture, but Sally Bridge's amazing sculptural furniture is a huge turn on for me. I think this is definitely furniture that you will either love or hate.

Although this isn't a new project, it just came across my eyeballs, so it's new to me!
