  In light of alnoves post which did not go in the right direction. I stand here pointing down the right route:

  WHAT IS THE MOST RECENT
  DESIGNED/
  DESIGN ORIENATED/
  DESIGN INSPIRED OBJECT
  YOU HAVE BOUGHT.

  Me, I gave in and bought my GF a si Scott poster for her B'day:
  

  

  And myself a supermundane poster:
  

  

  I love detail

  The ISO50 Obama print.

  • same here– cursiveshotgun1/7

    you americans are sick.
    sick = as in ill– mase2/7

    no British person would buy a design print of their recently voted in PM. Its just wrong.– mase3/7

    although, respect like, I suppose. We all followed it like mad over here, I would have voted for Bama. ROW should really get a vote too considering.
    – mase4/7

    I bought that one as well.– flickster5/7

    but what are you gonna do with it when it turns out he doesn't do anything he sold you on?– liveslow6/7

    haha, odd timing. buy the poster after all the hype has diminished and he's failing.– mnmlst7/7

    I didn't know Supermundane had a shop. Thanks.– Jaline4/4

  8 sheets of 45cm x 60cm 2mm thick recycled board at 42p apiece.
  A kneaded putty eraser.
  Some scalpel blades.

  Je suis avec le motherfucking rock.

  • lol.
    I haven't used a putty rubber since my art college days– Dancer1/8

    what're you up to?– Jaline2/8

    Packaging concepts. Still. Complete turnaround over the weekend after getting some quotes for previous version :\– detritus3/8

    I kind of hoped the eraser purchase would confirm me as being a 'real' designer... but I'm just at art student level? :(– detritus4/8

    ;)– detritus5/8

    hehe
    I used to lose it all the time
    
    – Dancer6/8

  http://www.youworkforthem.com/pr…
  ...which I haven't opened yet but it's lovely.

  • i have that to, good one.– tank021/5

    Needs a better table of contents or some organizational structure, but it's still useful and pretty.– Jaline2/5

    yes and the dvd is a bit of a shame with the .mov files em...– tank023/5

    +1 for the book!
    -10 for the dvd!– decisionman4/5

    i thought the print job on that book was subpar.– Douglas5/5

• ian

  They're great dancer, the si scott one is gorgeous. Where did you buy them from?

  Last design thingy I bought, my wireless router? Does that count?
  Or an issue of 'Wire' cos I liked the cover design. Sad, but I can't think of anything else.

  • http://www.coshuk.co…– Jaline1/8

    or here?
    http://www.resonatem…
    – alnove2/8

    £145 on the first site £40 on the second? Is that second one legit? Seems to be a much nicer site too.– ian3/8

    why is it so much cheaper? weird.– Jaline4/8

    Cosh is an official reseller listed at Si's site. Anyway, I'm buying the cheaper one. Must be legit.– Jaline5/8

    Maybe it's smaller or doesn't come with the certificate of authenticity. But that's still a huge price difference.– Jaline6/8

    Maybe, but I don't need a cert for £105. seems like a steal to me.– ian7/8

    they are a2, they do come with certificate also they are edition of 100– alnove8/8

• Duane

  A copy of Massimo Vignelli's redesign of the New York City Subway Diagram. I can't wait until it arrives!

  

  • Ahhh that is beautiful!– OSFA1/10

    I always ponder whether or not I should buy this stuff. But I decide against it since I don't know much about NY.– Jaline2/10

    well..I know some stuff but I don't care to have a subway system map. I feel like it has to have some use to me.– Jaline3/10

    Were these not going for about $200 a go? I remember QBN linking to it, via a men's magazine or something? Expensive!– scribbler4/10

    I don´t like it– moamoa5/10

    It was $299 at CondeNast. Not bad considering the original 1972 map sells for $200+ on ebay.– Duane6/10

    And although it's not totally useful, it is a piece of design history that will gain value.– Duane7/10

    amazing...– organic_grid8/10

    I've always loved subway maps :P– Lillebo9/10

    perfect examples where looks come before function.– pr210/10

  I just bought the IDEA magazine Archive 01 on Saul Bass. Magma have it back in stock after being out of stock forever. Lush. I have the Wim Crowel one too, well worth getting hold of a copy.

    I bought this in hardback, think i paid about £80 for it. Gorgeous. Was just looking at it last week, nearly forgot I had it.– ian4/10

    have you got the original? Apparently they scanned in a copy of the original (no plates or artwork available) and re-issued it.– scribbler5/10

    re-issued it.– scribbler6/10

    I have the re-scanned hardback. Think I might have gotten it from you work for them, a few years ago.– ian7/10

    by the way, magma is for toffee nosed wankers– yardshid8/10
