We love the work of House Industries and obviously we dig their name too!

Masters of font and 2d/3d design House Industries is being showcased in the Type as Object show opening today at NYC’s Type Directors Club. Here’s an opportunity to not only see these objects but buy them in a special pop up store designed for the occasion.

Thinkhouse has just completed a trade campaign targeting the pro-audio market and aimed to increase U.S. sales of König & Meyer music and instrument stands, while also creating awareness that Connolly & Company is the exclusive U.S. distributor of K&M products. K&M, whose stands are used from studio to stage, is celebrating their 60th Anniversary and have long been known as the leading manufacturer in their marketplace.

The American Graphic Design Awards, among the largest and most esteemed in the industry, has announced the winners of its 2009 annual competition and Thinkhouse won an Award for Design Excellence for our Korg Pandora PX5D print ad campaign!  Gordon Kaye, Editor & Publisher of GD USA, states: “the ‘09 winners are among the very best and brightest that this growing and influential community has to offer.”  Hey!  He’s talking about us … sweet! A special thanks to our peeps over at Korg USA for allowing us to take some creative and humorous liberties!

Be Seen Being Green ™ – the second installment in a new line of shirts to come from Thinkhouse.

Step Lively, Tread Lightly ™ – a new line of shirts to come from Thinkhouse.

You’ve heard it all before, it’s a fragile earth we live on … but do you do your part? Are you pro-active?  Small actions by lots of people will make big differences.  My nephew, Jonathan who designed this shirt with me, just got back form a month of fixing trails out in Oregon. He’s doing his part … are you? So, be seen being green! Hey, that sounds like a good line for another t-shirt!  Stay tuned …

I love anything completely covered in rubber … especially when it plays music.

The Tykho Radio – This simple and modern radio does one thing and one thing great … play FM and AM stations! Old school, baby! Zen like, this simple design and functional radio is covered completely in rubber. Perfect for when you have to get a good grip to whip it across the room in frustration when the client asks for the forty third revision.

Get your here!

Just say no … to plumping!

If you haven’t seen this site yet, you must. I’ve never actually heard a chicken talk before, but when they do … you really need listen.  Evidently the USDA estimates that plumping can cost American consumers up to $2 billion a year for plumping. $2 billion a year to inject chicken with salt water …. that’s just so wrong.

Campers are usually ugly, but not the Tonke Camper from Holland. An eco-friendly camper, that’s handcrafted with polished mahogany fittings, teak wood floors, porcelain sinks and fully chrome faucets.

Even better, after you’re done with your trip you can detach the camper unit off the van chassis to serve as a stand alone office (or room for the mother-in-law).  I can see it now, cruising down highway 66, blogging from my Tonke office via wifi while cranking Freebird and feeling … free as a bird!  Well, maybe i wouldn’t exactly crank Freebird.

Korg U.S.A., one of the worlds leading music instrument and accessories companies knocked on our door recently to design a multi-page brochure showcasing their merchandising display systems.  These fixtures’s hold Korg’s best-selling tuners and are designed to maximize floor or wall space and increase customer sales – a no-brainer for the retail market.
