We've been fans of COMUИE since its inception, and although the guys have been able to sport the line, the ladies have been adoring from the sidelines.  But not for long. Soon women will be able to embrace COMUИE with its first womenswear collection launching this fall. 

Judson Beaumont, of Vancouver's Straight Lines Design, has created these amazing stools and tables out of trees. Tree Rings are created using split Pine Beetle wood, which is then covered with a colored resin top. During the day, they look like a regular stump table, but at night, they become illuminated with light glowing through the resin, showing of the ring pattern.

For the launch of their Citiscape range of new street style headphones, Philips asked renowned French urban artist, graphicist, illustrator, and rapper Grems to etch three limited addition collector’s box sets to house them. Not content with tickling your proverbial visual taste buds, they asked NYC’s own electro maestro Machinedrum, a.k.a. Travis Stewart, founder of the Merck label, to pen three exclusive tracks to go alongside.

Pennysmash | Launched in Toronto, and expanded to Vancouver, this is an artistic project that is not only awesome, but also gives back to the creative community. A souvenir project involving amazing artists Ken Lum, Ian Grais, Jerszy Seymour and Natalie Purschwitz, it takes your every day pennies, puts them through the PennySmash machine, and turns them into works of art, all for only $2.01. So take all those sad pennies, unsure of what to do with their lives now they have been deemed worthless, and give them new direction.
