Hello. It seems that it might be at least three weeks since I mentioned any wittering about the latest lightbulb fixation. Time to fix that.

These gorgeous vintage replicas are amazing. They’ve got sexy looped filaments, 1900s moulds, and are pretty much, from what I can tell, hand-made by Thomas Edison. And they have little nipples and everything. What else do you want in a lightbulb?

John Lewis, in a less obscure part of the land, are also selling some pretty sweet bendy filament bulbs. They’re a little orangey which makes me want to buy them all as Christmas decorations.

If only the white room in The Dome could have carried this tranquil wonder. Instead, in (questionable celebration of the Millennium) The Dome’s zen room faded through a spectrum of colours like a dodgy 90s lamp with walls made of white plastic that I spent my visit sliding down, they should have built it with cardboard boxes and flapping bits of metal. The giant fort made out of cardboard boxes doesn’t instantly come across as a museum piece (even if it is the Contemporary Art Museum). Beyond being stacked boxes it also does a very good impression of rain when turned on. I’ve tried this at home with a metal stick and a cardboard box but it’s not had the same effect.

Listen to it, and pretend you’re lying by a big window; a huge library window, the top floor of the Tate Modern, the full glass door in my living room at home, outside under the biggest, safest umbrella in the the world with an invisible window. The weather’s changed and it’s throwing it down – that one mad day of summer where the weather throws a furious fit. The day waterproof tree houses were made for. There’s just a flood pouring down the glass, a few leaves smacking against it every so often, slowly dragging their way down sandwiched between the flood and the glass. Just watching there listening, feeling warm and strangely refreshed from your pocket of cover inside.

A bit old, but still lovely. Via weheart.

Oh look! Creative agency Hugo & Marie have just relaunched their work and there’s some wonderful work on it by creative Mike Perry catching my eye.

The inquisitive-looking Fox at the bottom of the mouth is best.

Over on his site, it turns out he was behind the BBDO Starbucks work too. There’s more wonderful jelly people, an obsession with space and geometric penned chairs to catch a sight of. I recommend you have a peer about.

These are sweet (ha!) and right up my street (This is a hypothetical street make of cardboard and wool in which I am king busker.) I am looking for an excuse to make lots of these myself and give (inflict) my own home-made versions on other people.

It doesn’t look like it’s being updated any more which is sad, and whilst I may have copied half the blog over here it’s lovely. Go and look at it, and coo.

Via Present and Correct. A nice website that sells papery things.

D&AD presented the next creative generation this weekend, and we went to check it out. A collection of the best creative, design and graphics from graduates across the UK and as far out as Miami Art College, this year D&AD’s caused less of a fuss than the suicide-based posters of last year. Here’s you a roundup of some of my favourite work and a few things that I couldn’t help but take photos of as we walked around. This post originally appeared on (untitled) London.

Shane Noonan does some lovely illustrations – his Fox in Human’s Clothing caught our eye. And here, on a lighter note, are some men holding a shoot-out in a wood. Glorious.

Jay Wright manages to make recycling fun and quirky with trees that chop up humans.

Ellie Pickering’s collection of characters caught our eye with their individual quirky profiles. I adored her family of owls and am pining to buy one of her mugs.

Sarah Water’s beautiful animal illustrations caught our eyes with some gorgeous ducks. Some reminiscent of a more sensible Quentin Blake, they’re gorgeous.

And I spotted this ‘about me’ poster, which was one of the best that caught my eye. Unsurprisingly it won a Best New Blood award.
