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

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

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.

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.

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.

Really nice winery by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Their site has other quality projects as well.
I can’t remember where I found this, but I really like the website interface and her illustrations.

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

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.

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.
