I caught Nervous System‘s new Algae collection online and thought it was so gorgeous. From Nervous System: “Our new line … explores a range of botanical patterns by systematically abstracting the cycles of growth and bifurcation seen in plants.” All the pieces in the collection are made in stainless steel and twenty-four karat gold plated steel.
Large algal bloom pendant in stainless steel, $45. In 24 karat gold plated steel, $55.
I loved these photos by Christopher Griffith for his new book, Blown. The images are of discarded tires collected along the major highways of America. The book is published in an edition of 2000 and is signed by the artist. Buy it for $75 through Dashwood Books in NYC. (via The Moment)

I saw Slumdog Millionaire last weekend and left it feeling buzzed. Danny Boyle has created a wonder of a film.
