I thoroughly enjoyed the second installment of Luxembourg-born nico, in which the content is twofold: interviews (approx. 2/3 of the mag) and fashion editorials. It's neat and straightforward, and with its uncoated paper, minimal advertising and clear two section split, it properly adopts the feels of a bi-annual publication rather than a magazine per se. This summer issue covers quite a number of inspiring designers and thinkers. Among them all, don't skip over the interview with Freedom of Creation's Janne Kytännen (p46-55), who explains business development with rapid prototyping's innumerable possibilities, FOC's key design and fabrication process. Texts are published in both English and French.

I was excited to see FRAME's thick new issue jacked under the studio door last week. It only comes 6 times a year, but every time I'm blown away by the curation of new and notable works, covering interiors and furniture on the international level like no other. The summer July/August issue, titled "Show & Sell," gives prominence to a gathering of shops which have been shaped and fine-tuned to showcase the displayed moco products in their best light - whether by historical, sculptural or even popular culture references. And to contrast with these marvelous yet out-of-this-world interior solutions, be sure to read the interview with down-to-earth French furniture designer Inga Sempé (p162-169): "Her utopia is the corner store or the DIY outlet". Refreshing!

And last but not least: evidently, as always, Wallpaper*'s current issue sweats so much moco it bleeds. Work is the topic for June and they're "defying the daily grind" the Wallpaper* way, a fun ride throughout the mag. I particularly enjoyed the signature photographic object design editorials — the Heavenly HQ spreads, where the ultimate workspace is portrayed, will lead to jaw-dropping (p176-187). Conversely, the overview of the current trend of young creatives (from musicians to architects) gathering and joining together to develop collectives or group work environments in which cooperation and collaboration strive (p126-132) certainly struck a chord.

The PR firm that does the media relations for the new Jawbone Bluetooth headset contacted MoCo Loco to see if we would be interested in trying out the new gizmo. Normally we'd leave that to the gadget blogs, but this time we accepted the challenge if only to test drive designer Yves Behar's latest product. As it happens, I was in the market for a new headset for my Macbook, which has Blutooth capability, as well as my Treo 650, so I figured two birds: one stone. The good news is that it's all relatively easy to set up Bluetooth on the Treo and the Macbook, the noise canceling technology works phenomenally well, especially for the person at the other end of the phone, and the unit is amazingly light and comfortable (19 grams!). The not-so-good, well, the echo/delay on the Mac makes it unusable for Skype or Vonage and the on-off switches on the headset are, um, enigmatic... more after the jump.
