kult house by Josh Rhode

Mikey Rox — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:46:07 +0000

Behind every great design there’s a designer who poured his or her blood, sweat, and, most definitely, tears into the project. Some ideas are like a flash of lighting that strike in an instant, while others are the result of banging one’s head repeatedly against a wall. Josh Rhode, founder of Kult House, is a director/designer of brand experiences on emerging platforms. He has designed, lead, and built award-winning experiences, platforms, and flagship products for the likes of Nike, Verizon, FOX, Converse, Disney, and Microsoft. His background in film has cultivated a timeless sense of storyteling, which he combines with craft, strategy, and direction, to define and lead projects from conception to multichannel production. Take a look at this work, even though someplace, somewhere you’ve already seen it before.

Magnus Magnetic iPad Dock

You know when you’re at the gym and you spot that skinny guy with the too-tight shorts who can somehow bench press like 275lbs? Yeah, the Magnus Magnetic iPad Dock is kinda like that guy. Just replace the hot pants with hand-polished aluminum and a rubberized bottom along with the ability to magically attach to your iPad and display it at a near-vertical angle perfect for viewing. Okay, so maybe it’s not magical – more like magnetical – but it’s still kind of a big deal.

Sennheiser RS 220 Wireless Headphones

Mikey Rox — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:54:19 +0000

Few companies can get away with charging 600 bones for headphones that can’t even leave the house, but these aren’t just any headphones – and as any serious audiophile knows, if it’s a Sennheiser it’s good enough to bequeath in your will. Unless, of course, you want to take them with you, and honestly, who could blame you? Wireless headphones with a 100- to 300-foot transmission distance and the ability to transmit clear, uncompressed HD audio so rich you’ll think you’re hearing the hymns of angels are worth every penny in this life and the one after. $599.95

The Artwork of Wojciech Magierski

Mikey Rox — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:53:10 +0000

Wojciech Magierski gets his money’s worth from Photoshop. The Polish photographer/graphic designer specializes in “photo manipulation and illustration” and uses it to visualize powerful concepts like Lucifer’s fall from grace, greed, and the mother-unborn child connection. Even if you’re not big on heavy art you can still appreciate the sheer WTF that went into these (Dali-influenced?) images.

Original Fake Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Mikey Rox — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:15:22 +0000

The Spring/Summer 2012 line from Original Fake – a collabo between Medicom and NY artist Kaws – is sort of like the pretend winter we’ve been having; the pieces look like cold-weather gear but done dapper enough that you can’t wait to break out the Frisbee for a game of Ultimate on the quad. The oxymoronic (that’s a good word, btw, even if it doesn’t exist) brand’s latest collection features plenty of warm knits, hoodies and vests that meet at the intersection of urban and prep.

Matra e-MO+ Scooter

Mikey Rox — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:13:44 +0000

Vespa what? The MATRA e-MO+ is perfect for short, quick jaunts around town (anywhere you’d foot cycle, but in much less time), and the battery-operated motor is ninja quiet. When you’re finished your errands, the scooter folds into a compact size – small enough that you could fit it onto a service elevator, in fact. Not that this was made with the courier in mind or anything.

Akai MPC Fly

Mikey Rox — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:47:29 +0000

Don’t let being on the go interfere with your inner Dr. Dre. The latest treat from Akai Professional is the MPC (Music Production Controller) Fly, a delicious iPad-compatible touch pad, which also stands upright and attaches magnetically so it can dual-function as a case. The pad works in conjunction with the Akai MCP app, providing portable access to nearly all the features of the desktop version – which means that you can work on your next #1 hit wherever you are. Via.

Fusiontable

Mikey Rox — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:44:46 +0000

Fusiontable is a fully functional pool table that also seats six without anyone knowing their brunch is over billiards. Isn’t it about time you upgraded from the wobbler you found in the “FREE” section of Craigslist to something decidedly sexier?

DAVE WHITE’S AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH

FreshMan — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:58:27 +0000

White and Jordan are back again, and the result is the Air Jordan 1 High DW. These kicks feature the iconic Jordan black/sport red-white-cement grey colorway, and even bring in the elephant print on the forefoot laces-strap.

White actually created four design options for this shoe, each implementing expressive elements. While eye-catching from the jump, White thinks that it’s the details that sneakerheads will appreciate from these kicks.

The brand has also put together a Jordan DW WINGS crew T-shirt to commemorate the release. Available in North America, Europe and China on February 11.
