Moo Business Cards

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a big fan of Moo. I love their minicards, the postcards, the stickers...and I'm totally excited to hear that they are about to announce regular business cards. As a Graphic Designer I design and order business cards for clients on a regular basis and although I've ordered tons of printing examples from printers thorughout the years I was never really happy with the results. I don't even want to speak about the possibility to design each card individually which no other printer offers. And which is absolutely awesome! (And something clients are interested in but printers seemingly not so much.)
It's great to see that Moo also offers a green alternative now (100% recycled, 100% recyclable and bio-degradable stock) besides the classic paper stock and can't wait to hold some of them in my hands...Check out Richard Morross' blog or Moo's secret stuff page for more information. And, pssst, newsletter recipients get a 20% discount off their first pack as soon as they launch. So I know what I'll be doing on the weekend...

Cushions by Marcel Wanders for B&B Italia

I really like how Dutch Designer Marcel Wanders mixes patterns that don't go well with each other prima facie but end up being surprising and fun juxtapositions for his new cusion line for B&B Italia. The cusions are available in several designs and come in three different sizes (40x40 cm, 60x60 cm and 90x90 cm). I'd love to add some of these in our new bedroom but none of the designs goes with our color scheme so it might be time to get out my newly acquired sewing machine...

I updated the list of my daily reads and added some new finds and some old links I re-found in my bookmarks. Check it out on the bottom of this page.
