Treehugger’s Lloyd tipped us to some interesting products he saw at Toronto’s One of a Kind crafts show, says Lloyd, “almost all of the ones I liked were from Quebec; Machin Chouette takes old record albums and mounts them in frames, which hold CD's in jewel boxes, Schleeh Design makes desktop furnishings and some tables but what is really amazing is his paper invention, sort of like post it notes that you can twist and turn into sculptural forms (above), Serge Tardif and Nathalie Morin make tableware with very thin veneers of wood, talk about less is more - there is almost nothing there and Peter Harris’ paintings of subjects of extraordinary banality actually work, the Esso stations and roads are really impressive.”. Thanks Lloyd!
Record album covers converted to hold CD's? That's two obsolete products combined into one! Boring.
I miss large-format album art. That was one of my favorite parts of records. If I didn't keep my CDs stashed in numerous caselogic carriers, I could see myself digging this.
I actually know a surprising number of people who still have all of their CDs displayed in some form in their homes. I wouldn't say their obsolete just yet (thought give it another decade...)
