Lapo Elkann takes Wallpaper magazine into his garage
I have followed Lapo Elkann for years as one of my idols for his style and character. So it didn’t surprise me when the heir to the Fiat empire and possible future president of Ferrari. Teamed up with Wallpaper magazine to take a peek inside his garage at his Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and a California done up with denim upholstery, Fiat 500 Abarth that he had painted matte olive green. And then there’s a Ferrari 458 Italia decked out in camouflage.
Urban Mobility Hooded Backpack
PUMA by Hussein Chalayan UM Backpack the hooded backback is designed with a two-way zip front compartment, padded laptop compartment with hook-and-loop closure inside main compartment, zip pocket, slip in pocket and padded mobile phone pocket in front compartment. A great unique design. Not sure if I’d use it, but I like the idea and it’s a point of difference to the usual rehash of bag pack designs.

NASA: Evolution of the Moon
From year to year, the moon never seems to change. Craters and other formations appear to be permanent now, but the moon didn’t always look like this. Thanks to NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we now have a better look at some of the moon’s history.
East Street by ‘i-am’ Associates
East Street is the latest project by Nick Jeffries and David Fox, founders of restaurant chain Tampopo, and offers a diverse and unique take on Pan Asian cuisine, inspired by the pair’s own food discoveries during their travels across East Asia.
‘i-am’ Associates were appointed during the evolution stages to help develop and build a completely new brand identity for the launch of East Street in London. This included the creation of a new name and logo, graphic elements and complete interior design for the site.
We took bold steps to ensure that East Street had a solid brand proposition that resonated with their customer base. The tone of voice is friendly, warm and open the core value was to create a Pan Asian food odyssey. The sourcing of staff, the creation menu’s and the overall delivery of the brand message had to be unified and relate to the brand values of food and travel.
Everything was a direct take on travel, specifically Asia. We wanted to emulate the raw vibe of a South East Asian market and street cafe. From the very beginning we didn’t want to lose sight of how intimate the restaurant should feel, you should be totally immersed in the street market experience. The long benches and plastic tables recreate the feeling of being sat in a busy café in Hong Kong or Vietnam under a low glow of light surrounded by the sights and sounds of the kitchen.
Nick Jeffery and David Fox of Tampopo comment, “To launch a new restaurant in an already overcrowded London restaurant community you have to demonstrate diversity and a clear point of difference. With East Street, ‘i-am’ have helped us to create a brand identity and values that are instantly recognisable from moment you enter the restaurant right down to the service and the food and drink consumed.”
