FiZZZ BZZZZ! is a Paris based art direction & design studio, founded by Alexandre Viault & Benoît François. They use and create Texts, Images and Objects as raw material, for the mise en forme and mise en scene of the projects they are involved in.
Just like a frisbee their practice is that of a steering wheel in motion, exchanging back and forth between industrial production and more unique pieces – limited editions; between them, clients and collaborators; between ideas and forms.
A trip from point A to point B, from B to L, from Z to Z, from Z to H,…

Matter is a new biannual publication, from the team behind Kilimanjaro, that records the ways in which new and developing technology affects culture, lifestyle, fashion, and the arts.
Created by the studio behind the acclaimed arts and culture magazine Kilimanjaro, Matter shares the former’s curatorial approach to design and content. Designed to appeal to a consumer eager to tap into an ever-changing and increasingly sophisticated world, with particular regard to the twin disciplines of high-end design and culture, its inaugural issue is covered by the iconic trip-hop artist Tricky, who talks exclusively to Matter about music, imperfection, and reinvention.
Matter’s USP is the fact that it is the first art and style publication to examine these subjects through the lens of modern technology; in doing so, it brings together the creative and the rational in a way which is rarely seen in the realms of printed matter.
First issue includes:
Dieter Rams, Ole Scheeren, Matthew Collings, Pierre Huyghe & William Gibson.
Google’s Creative Director of Data Arts, Aaron Koblin, on digital art. Iconic fashion designer Rick Owens presents an Anthology Of Colour. Editor Jennifer Higgie on twenty years of Frieze magazine. Art & The Automobile, featuring the American artists Richard Prince and Erwin Wurm. Tate Exhibitions Curator Tanya Barson on the Lyon Biennale. Celebrated conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner, shot by NY underground photographer Ari Marcopolous. Photographer – and former director of Dior Homme – Hedi Slimane’s best images of women.
Matter magazine is 200 pages, and retails at £8.00

Gidsy aims to make it easy to find fun stuff to do, whether you are looking for a private guide to show you around local art spaces, or to take you mushroom-picking in the forest. You could call it a marketplace for authentic experiences. The best part: Anyone can host activities. Interesting!

The fine folks of Core77 just launched the 2011 Gift Guide with 77 gifts under $77. Some of my favorites are the Acu Hoop, Press Patch and of course, the Quarterly subscription.

The stunning Bookbow Print by much admired Paul Octavious is one of the first products I am selling in my brand new swissmiss shop.
The idea behind my store is do only offer a hand-full of tightly curated, limited edition custom products by designers I love and admire. Paul Octavious is one of them. Paul knows about my love for rainbows and his book stacks, so he combined the two and Bookbow was born. I will most certainly hang one of these in my son’s room.
Bookbow, by Paul Octavious, available in 11″x14″ and in 16″x20″.

From Seoul’s Sticky Monster Lab comes The Loner, a story of isolation in isometry spotlit by an unexpected unconditional devotion.
