CHANNELING PATTY HEARST.

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Trawling through PSFK, I saw this rather strange idea from Swedish designer Ann Sofie Back (and her ad team We Are Group) Spinning the now overused “Pop Up Store” concept (Kingsmill pop up store anyone? Yeah I thought not) into a much more outlandish and provocative concept; the hostage store.

Fixed Gear Massan 1

From the blog of PSFK comes the Bike Photography of SF fixed gear rider Massan. It’s a great insight into the Fixed Gear Bike subculture of SF and as I’m getting deeper into the world of bikes and Fixed Gears the passion and danger of it is infectious. The bikes are beautiful, almost like artforms of themselves and deeply personal in their design and construction.

This is one of these things that’s makes you wonder what you ever did without the internet. Beautiful (With thanks to the great guys at PSFK)
