Ben Javens: Some Danged Good Packaging

Ben Javens is an illustrator from across the pond (England), whose flair for great design precedes him. I've been a fan of Ben's 60's Danish stylized graphics for a wee bit. Needless to say, I grinned like a little girl while shopping at my neighborhood Target store here, in Chicago & spied a row of 8th Continent Soymilk containers from yours truly, Ben.

HOUSE INDUSTRIES: EAMES HOUSE BUILDING BLOCKS

From the extremely talented folks at House Industries, a great collection of prints, fonts & building blocks. There's also a small collection of Alexander Girard product.

"Tours of the Eames House and Studio require a sizable donation to the Eames Foundation, but you can bring the Case Study No. 8 house to the convenience of your coffee table or kids playroom for less cash than dinner for two at the local upscale chain restaurant. It’s a bargain when you consider that each set of 36 replenishable Michigan-grown basswood blocks represents 29 separate hand-pulled screen passes. In the true Eames spirit, your kids can create a ligneous yard sale on your living room rug while you're in deep conversation with your guests, then build this living landmark to demonstrate how you are properly introducing them to important bits of culture. And, as a whole, they take up much less room than those awkward and unsightly Montessori toys."
