Graphic-Exchange
This is one of the best websites to find examples of great design.
I was mesmerized by this photo by Shinichi Maruyama.

Oil Cans
OK. Not the most exciting thing, but it just goes to show that good design can be applied to anything.
Nice set on Flickr.

Looking through old bookmarks. I like the utility of this bird house.

Organizing Wall
Another item from my archives. I thought this was brilliant, but the link is dead to the company.
I found it in Interior Design Magazine, back in 2004.

Dornbusch Church
This is pulled from my design archives. I have always loved this building. Especially the stained glass.
I haven’t had a chance to explore this website, but it looks like it has a lot of good work.

Basil Haden Bottle
I have been looking at bottles lately for a project and this one really caught my eye.
Student work no less. The display is nice also.

Emma Hanquist Illustration
I can’t remember where I found this, but I really like the website interface and her illustrations.

Claudette Postcards
Very cool illustrations. I always have liked a simple iconic image.

Kanstantin Beta Car
I don’t know much about what this is. The website reference website is strange.
But this is a strong visual shape, similar to the Citroen DS (I looked it up), and the black matte finish is nice.

Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects
I found this through dailyicon when they featured the Tye River Cabin. Above is the Chicken Point Cabin. On their site they have a mix of unique and isolated cabins and also homes that fit well into the landscape.
