Your Morning Shot: Eero Saarinen
“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.” - Eero Saarinen
Adjustable bookshelf (and finalist in the Dwell design contest)? Yes please!

10 Beautiful Buildings Inspired By Famous Books
Lovely and true Flavorwire excerpt: Truly wonderful books have a habit of growing and changing years after they’ve been written, worming themselves into places you might not expect — our decisions, our aesthetic and cultural sense, and even, with the right kind of care, our physical world.
I want the whole collection of This Is… by Miroslav Sasek because this is AMAZING and I’m a whole super fan.

Seems like IKEA are really shaking things up this year. In addition to the previously announced TV set, they’re also going to release a digital camera made of cardboard called Knäppa (“Snap”). It’ll hold 40 photographs at a time and plugs directly into your USB port. While it’s not the prettiest camera the world has ever seen, I do love the idea of a screen-less digital camera that brings people back to the wait-and-see days of film.
