We delve into an interesting take on art with food photography duo, Nicky&Max,  as they re-imagine what Bauhaus cuisine would have looked like. Who thought that fresh fruit, cocoa powder and geometrical designs would have made such a pretty portrait? Head over to Co. Design as they share how this project allowed their creativity to run free.

A tough as old boots pair of, erm, boots, Rising Sun move away from their mainstay denim for some superb, hardwearing footwear. A striking 1930s ‘laced to toe’ style set these apart from your average work boot, with plenty of solid detail to match. French calf leather, brass hardware, a beautiful stacked leather heel, traditional Cat’s Paw non-slip heel cap and heavy flax stitched goodyear Welt Construction. It’s all there. Step into a pair at the click.

The Scout explore the world of the vintage backpack in their latest post, calling on friend of the site Jordan Viray for assistance. Over the years Viray has amassed the most incredible selection of old carriers, an obsession that started from two finds: A North Face brown label number and a 1970s Camp Trails pack purchased for $30. Today he owns over 80 models from the ’60s through to the ’80s. Gerry, Alpine Designs, Chouinard, Holubar, Rivendell MW, Sierra Designs, Kelty alongside more obscure names such as 1st Lead Telluride Colorado and Yak Works…a tremendous collection that got us a little emotional. Check out some fine outdoors accessories in our gallery (photography by Daniel Bernauer) and catch the full interview with Jordan Viray at The Scout.

A two storey structure with a nod to matters Green, this build from Paul de Ruiter Architects, Holland, brings together a whole lot of glass and coloured sustainable timber, natural materials only on this Dutch project. In fact, the wood used at the entrance and garage comes from an old ship that was found at a demolition company in North Brabant. Nice. Designed with the preservation of the landscape in mind, the structure sits in the slope of a hill, huge sliding doors allowing inside and outside to connect with the pull of a handle. Energy efficient, the architect explains “An efficient and compact structure has been designed with excellent insulation…there is geothermal energy storage, a heat pump and solar collectors on the roof, which is covered with moss sedum.” Take the tour in the gallery.

Another great capsule line from Unionmade. As the San Francisco store explains – ‘The collection started with a simple idea: The Absence of Color. With the arrival of Spring and so much going on, we thought this would be the perfect time to surround ourselves with easy, neutral pieces.’  The key to these collections (remember when they went all Indigo?) are the exclusives they commission from some of their top labels. No picking pieces to fit, the full range specially made for the Natural project. So, expect to see the likes of Filson, Anonymous-ism, Journal Standard, Tender, Merz B Schawnen, Golden Bear and plenty more. Beautiful V-Stitch sweatshirts, subdued print button down shirts, patchwork pattern socks and clean, unfussy footwear. Grab it all here.
