Waddesdon Wine
Waddesdon Manor is the historical country seat of the Rothschild family in the UK and home to Waddesdon Wine, the official distributor for the Rothschild collection of wines.
The identity is designed to balance the rich tradition associated with Rothschild wines with a more modern approach to the wine business.More on: paulbelford.com
Love this, so free of the industry heritage approach to wine packaging.
We interviewed Brendan Crain from Neighborland about his project What Would You Love to See on the LES?, on view at the IDEAS CITY StreetFest on May 4.
IDEAS CITY, a biennial Festival in New York City from May 1 – May 4, explores the future of cities around the globe with the belief that arts and culture are essential to the vitality of urban centers, making them better places to live, work, and play. This year’s theme is Untapped Capital, with participants focused on resources that are under-recognized or underutilized in our cities. Learn more at www.ideas-city.org.
ORGANIZATION: Neighborland
NAME: Brendan Crain
PROJECT TITLE: What Would You Love to See on the LES?
Neighborland will be presenting its first New York City “idea board” installation as part of IDEAS CITY 2013. The idea board is essentially a community whiteboard that prompts neighbors to share their ideas for what they’d like to see in a given neighborhood—in this case, in the Lower East Side.
Great idea for a project that drills into the real reasons why we get involved in creativity and the benefits that has for all in the city… whether they know it or not!
What We Wore
A project that is being organised by ISYS and supported by a publisher we work with, Prestel UK, looks at youth fashion from the 50s to the 00s in What We Wore. This was me as a student in the 80s photographed by Helena Grier Rautenbach for a Japanese magazine, going clubbing…

Tilda Swinton sleeps in glass box at Museum of Modern Art
The actress Tilda Swinton, took up residence in a glass box at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on Saturday as part of an unannounced performance piece. Clad in jeans and a blue button-down shirt, the Academy Award winner slept on an unadorned white pallet in a transparent display case.
Her public napping is part of a performance art piece titled “The Maybe,” which she debuted in 1995 at London’s Serpentine Gallery. She later repeated the work in the Museo Barraco in Rome. Swinton will return to the glass case several times to appear in the installation, but the exhibition dates remain a mystery even to MoMA employees.
The temptation to groan at the reprieve of Tilda Swinton’s The Maybe is almost overwhelming. I shouldn’t though, it’s obviously got some resonance for New Yorkers, the home of this kind of performance. It’s peaceful in a city where little is.

Minimal line-drawings reproduced as postcards of London Underground train depots have been designed at Drawn by Day Studio. Starkly beautiful patterns follow the track layout within each depot and with colours matching the line each depot serves, each design is unique to its location.
Here’s the designer’s rationale behind these great cards.
These are beautiful. I wonder if London Underground will market them now they’ve been published?
