Things we like

L. We love the incredible detail in Mesh137's vibrant, witty pieces aka David Marsh. Part graffiti, part decorative art, the pieces are wicked, fun and beautifully executed. 
R. The LogoLounge Master Library books bring you "exemplary logo design work from creatives around the world". Indispensable as a reference, these highly visual source books make for a fascinating insight into trends and focus in design of identities, logos and brand development. Edition 3 includes our logo for HEART UK.

L. Total is the debut album from French electronic artist SebastiAn. The first single off the record, 'Embody', is top notch: http://youtu.be/awtiZEiiAE8
R. The Hours. Philip Glass: the suuuuuperb orchestral music for this powerfully affecting film is both spellbinding and moving.

WE are lucky enough to have a Vitra showroom down the road in Clerkenwell. They have pieces by Eames, Le Corbusier, Philippe Starck, George Nelson (who designed the clock on the left) and Alexander Girard whose amazing Wooden Dolls (on the right) were originally created for his own home in Santa Fe. They ain't cheap so at present they are admired through the showroom window but you have to Love them!

Good coffee, beer and vintage stuff including denim and leather clobber. Out of Town (30 Great Sutton Street EC1) blends these elements effortlessly.

A Canticle for Leibowitz by American writer Walter M. Miller, Jr.. Set in a monastery in the United States after a nuclear war, the story spans thousands of years as civilization rebuilds itself. One of the classics of science fiction, it has never been out of print since its first edition in 1960. Inspired by the author's participation in the Allied bombing of the monastery at Monte Cassino during World War II, the novel is considered a masterpiece by literary critics. It has been compared favorably with the works of Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene.
