January’s Give-Away Winner!

Congratulations to Erika Oman for winning Lushpad’s January Give-Away of a jetset hanging mobile by Atomic Mobiles. Erika has a long history in design and furniture having worked for a specialty auction house for a number of years. She’s now hosting Designer People, a new show on Ovation TV. The show sounds really exciting and we’ll keep you up to date on its progress.

It is a really great, great magazine if you’re interested in design, architecture, and mid-century modern – check out their online edition to see what I’m talking about!

Mid-Century Modern Cool – Kevin Dart

“A Kiss from Tokyo” is a beautiful animation created for Kevin Dart’s newly released book about Yuki 7 entitled, “Seductive Espionage, the world of Yuki 7″ which chronicles the production of this imaginary 1960’s spy film franchise. The world they have created is beautiful and definitely inspired by two of my favourite shows growing up, “The Avengers” and “James Bond”. You can purchase the book via Fleet Street Scandal.
