The Font Clock is based on a simple idea: it takes the iconic calendar clock with its distinctive form and flip mechanism and introduces an ever-changing display.
The Font Clock employs twelve different typefaces. These range from modern renditions of classic type families like Bodoni to 20th century classics like Franklin Gothic and Helvetica. True to its philosophy of working with and promoting the very best of British design, Established & Sons has chosen to work with Grayson Time Management system. Grayson is responsible for providing the timekeeping for institutions such as the London Stock Exchange. The Font Clock comes in three sizes.

If you are among those who prefer a more rounded glass of wine, it’s necessary to pour the wine into a carafe to aerate so acidity and bitterness will evaporate, allowing the taste and aroma to develop. This method takes at least 1-2 hours.
In less than 2 minutes, Menu’s New Norm Wine Breather aerates a bottle of wine so that it is ready to serve – in the original bottle. Just place the bottle on the table and attach the carafe to the bottleneck. Then, carefully turn the bottle over and allow the wine to flow into the carafe. Then turn the carafe over again and the wine flows back into the bottle. Salute.

a new eBook available for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Kindle, Nook, Android, Mac and PC.
KieranTimberlake is pleased to announce the release of
Cellophane House™. Cellophane House™ chronicles the conception, assembly, display and disassembly of a five-story, off-site fabricated dwelling made of transparent, recyclable materials commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for the exhibition Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling.
Designed by Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake and their architecture firm KieranTimberlake, Cellophane House™ takes a radically different approach to off-site fabrication, reinventing the way buildings are assembled, what they are made of, and the experience of living in them. It demonstrates an end-of-life strategy that, enabled by an innovative structural frame and variety of connectors, makes disassembly and waste-divergence inherent in the building’s construction.
The book contains a detailed discussion of the house and 105 color photographs and illustrations. The iBooks version contains a time-lapse video of the assembly process.
