The Artbreaker, designed by Francois Dallegret, ($64 USD) is a definite must-have for the desk of the heartbroken and heartbreaker alike. A work of art and paperweight, the Artbreaker is plated in 14k gold and chrome; each side of the heart rotates on a hidden axis to reveal a myriad of beautiful sculptural compositions. It might even make you feel better about what happened or what you are about to do…
The other day we received a package in the mail and inside was the beautiful Linda & Harriett 2010 letterpress calendar ($30 USD). This calendar offers more then gorgeous printing and whimsical illustrations for each month – but as a subtle reminder to write more letters on the back of each month is a post card for easy cutting, writing, and sending. We aren’t even going to wait until January rolls around to hang this calendar up in our office. [Thanks, Connie!]
We have been enamored with letterpress lately (you’ll find out why soon!) and when Hijirik Studio released this limited edition of their Live What You Love letterpress print ($17.50) we knew we had to feature it. The print is 8×10 inches, letterpressed by hand using vintage wood type blocks on gorgeous cotton paper, and was printed with eco-friendly soy based ink. It shouldn’t be hard to find a spot for this print in your home or office.
What better way to show you care then to give the gift of art this Valentines. Alexander Girard’s Love Heart ($89 USD) is screen printed with water based ink on sustainably-harvested, maple plywood board. Girard was one of the most influential and innovative designers in the 20th century and was responsible for bringing color and life to the furniture creations of George Nelson, and Charles & Ray Eames. This is one gift that won’t disappoint.
John Derian is a master of decoupage, he is an avid collector of antique fruit, flower and animal prints, and hand paints borders over centuries-old ledgers and letters. Derian combines all these elements into perfectly eccentric collages which are reprinted and pieced together in layers under glass. Thanks to Good, you can browse and buy his work which are prized by collectors around the world.
