Unto This Last is the title of a book written in 1860 by John Ruskin. He advocated a return to the local craftsman workshops, having a few doubts about the human cost of the Industrial Revolution. It’s also the name of a workshop that produce beautiful pieces of furniture using only plywood and no mechanical accessory using a digital router. Their products are dispatched in London without boxes to cut down costs and pollution. They are easy to assemble, affordable, and beautiful.
I suggest you to go visit their amazing workshop in Brick Lane, East London. Or just enquire online here:

I’ve been looking for a well designed World cup calendar. I finally found one! It’s not too late. The author is a London based design company, I love their stuff and website. I also love their offices, in particular the shelving system seamlessly integrated in the plaster. I’m thinking of using that for my shelves on the side of the fireplace!

“Anatomy” is the one I own.
Diana is a little plastic camera part of the big Lomo family. Recently available on the market in a new mini size, for maximum portability. I just spotted that London is hosting the Diana World Tour for the month of April. The venue is, of course, the Lomography shop in Newburgh Street (off Carnaby Street). Make sure you RSVP for the opening party on Friday 2nd April 2010 and don’t miss out the workshops throughout the whole month of April (check bottom image for full details).
London streets as well are getting some ads including QR codes. Here are a couple of cool examples, more to come…
