It’s pretty remarkable how often we might overlook something we come across everyday, such as a pizza box, and rediscover the different ways it could be used most optimally. Sometimes it’s not always the brightest inventions that make the differences in this world.

Art deco has always been a theme of intrigue to me, most prominently in industrial designs. The whole movement was influential around the world as it made headway embracing futurism and the machine age. Being more of my grandparents’ time and not so much my own, just seeing these designs from that time somehow communicates the mood and disposition of that era. As time passed and the winds of change brought about new trends and technologies, art deco influenced designs have become a bit of a lost art. But once in a blue moon, we stumble upon immaculately crafted art deco pieces such as the custom Deco Keyboard created by Datamancer. Designed by Richard “Doc” Nagy, the keyboard was a custom creation for Cinema 16:9 to be used at a point of sale terminal.

The tea bags are designed resembling different people engaging in different tasks.

The popularity of these notebooks has stretched through continents and generations. Many like myself have found them to be readily available to jot down any thoughts while withstanding abuse. With a deep entrenched history amongst individuals with more than a dash of imagination in their blood (myself not included, Moleskin does an excellent job keeping their brand up to date).
