i visited 1933 shanghai in china. the architectural details of the place was mesmerizing. it was originally built in 1930's as a slaughter house, designed by british architect. now it serves as a space for creative community. many refer the space to escher's abstract drawings (shown below) . if you ever visit shanghai china, this is the place you don't want to miss!

read the artist's interview by apostolos mitsios for yatzer

we are 1976!!

i had to feature this shop just by its name " we are 1976". the number just blinks at me. 1976, yah, it's the year "apple threw open the doors of imagination, tiananmen square launched a reverie for freedom, and we were born."

the shop carries everything indie, from toys, home goods, art objects, books, jewelry to apparel. check out the gallery and workshop calendar. if you are local in dallas, i'm sure you'll be inspired!

owner vynsie's house was featured in design sponge, click here for more photos. don't you just want to own that catalog cabinet?!
