We always admired the way Monocle and Wallpaper styled their product shoots. Naoto Fukasawa and Jasper Morrison’s Super Normal exhibition arranged various objects in a similar manner. Donald Judd’s personal household items were also organized this way. For all you design object lovers with an obsession to arrange things in a structurally organized method, this tumblr is for you. Things Organized Neatly is simply that, it collects images from various sources. The meaningless become artistic when positioned carefully. Tools, fruits, even used erasers become eye candy.

Enjoyed flipping through Colossal Media’s photo gallery. The company is responsible some of the biggest painted walls in the city.

Though not in the best condition, Charley Harper’s 1961 book, “Giant Golden Book Of Biology” is on ebay for a hefty sum of $250.00.

Ok, you’ve heard about it already, but here’s the official word from the magazine itself. Monocle’s NY store is open for business.
