The week began in San Francisco with a trends report/ city guide, a good place to start the series. We were happy to see the new Bond., a very promising collection, Partisan puzzles lifted our spirit and Adieu the dissipating ink book begs to be manufactured. We can never get enough Refined Sugar, the Refined Cereal light fixture reminded us of the forbidden fruit of our childhood. Oh Canada the Chad Kouri Monster Light is taking the beast in an interesting new direction. SallyTV told it like it was while we wait with bated breath for Stefan to return. And hydrodynamics never looked so luminous.

+ Bond. launches with dissipating ink, protective attire and Partisan toys.
+ New work from BureaudeBank, Sieger, Fredrik Färg, Kitman Keung and ASKO.
+ Refined Sugar Studio gave us food for thought.
+ Highlights from MADE in the WEST include an arena-glass tabletop on a hockey stick base and a toboggan lounge. You asked is Matthew Kroeker’s SAW table: too corporate?
+ This Week in Tokyo: chopsticks, Muji, Schemata and Kobayashi.
+ Philippe Starck was Mr. Impossible. At Kartell. You either love him or hate him.
+ d-VISION showed us how to eat in the woods.
+ Sally Kuchar interviews The Apartment’s Stefan Boublil at SallyTV – funny, irreverent and THE KATE MOSS NAKED ON A SOFA pic! We liked the pipe.
