What We’re Reading on the Web

As usual, we’ve read the Internet cover-to-cover and rounded up some of the most interesting reads out there for your perusal. Enjoy!

These Spirograph Lab homewares are a really fun trip down memory lane for those of us who spent much of our childhood squirting paint into one of these gizmos. The collection comes come courtesy of Taiwanese designer Shawn Yang and you should absolutely check them out!

This might call for a cross-country road trip, y’all: The Man Who Made America’s Magnificently Tacky Architecture Famous.

Speaking of road trips, though substantially more difficult to get to, and definitely not cheesy, the artist Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude have just unveiled an incredible art installation on Italy’s Lake Iseo. The nearly-two mile walkway will allow visitors to walk just a foot above the water and continues 8,000 feet through the streets of Sulzano and Peschiera Maraglio. Very much worth a look even if you don’t plan on making it across the pond this month. More here.

Anyone else guilty of reading on their phone until they fall asleep? This somewhat discouraging (but extremely informative) infographic is an important read. [via]
