  1. Ply: We've come to expect the unexpected from nOffice. Performa Hub at Morphosis' new Cooper Union building. @Dezeen http://bit.ly/8ZkUCx
  2. Chart: Designer/illustrator Jez Burrows draws a line between indie rock (Destroyer) and infographics. Via @lloydwinter http://bit.ly/82FFqg
  3. Peek: Mid-Century Modernist posts Julian Weyer's Tour of (um, Mid-Century Modern) Brazil. Gorgeous as you might expect. http://bit.ly/6dYG67
  4. Hold: A valid argument for design of the (real) book; Why There Are Pages and Why They Must Turn. Hat tip to @conahan http://bit.ly/78X19I
  5. Spend: New value for local. Yes, the Brixton Pound is energizing and beautiful, but is this currency model sustainable? http://bit.ly/6nodCM
  6. Matter: We're certainly not the only ones who ogle over the stark snaps of Brooklyn-based photographer Jason Koxvold. http://bit.ly/1DrzrC
  7. Check: Local bloke and friend of Pinch, Gavin Potenza posts new work on his (newer) @cargocollective site. Worth a look. http://bit.ly/HA3Rx
  8. Enhance: Not just for business. Design Thinking for Social Innovation by Tim Brown + Jocelyn Wyatt. Thanks to @DuRoche http://bit.ly/16oGe2
  9. Recall: Utrecht designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964). Founder of De Stijl with Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian. http://bit.ly/30Zexx
  10. Jot: "I’m not writing it down to remember it later. I’m writing it down to remember it now.” Draplin's Field Notes. http://bit.ly/3uCWfM
  11. Accelerate: At Pinch, we're hardly bikers but we can't get enough of the Deus Ex Machina brand. Wrenchingly authentic. http://bit.ly/43SpnH
  12. Tune: Designed in 1963 by Marco Zanuso & Richard Sapper, The Brionvega TS 502 (Radio Cubo) is a mid-century audio icon. http://bit.ly/3zbe1h
  13. Tell: "The city is a place where a small boy, as he walks, sees something that will tell him what he wants to do his whole life." Louis Kahn
  14. Reason: "Architecture is where structure, function, and abstract or pure form are developed to the same degree." Marcel Breuer (1902-1981)
  15. Plug: CA's weekly "Insights" series is worth a regular look. Brian Danaher, Marc Burckhardt, Myriam Santos, recently. http://bit.ly/4st6N
  16. Pump: Yes, it's being reintroduced by Restoration Hardware, but the 1800s Worksman Bike delivers with dignity. @uncrate http://bit.ly/2BgeJm
  17. Revisit: Norman Bel Geddes, industrial and theatrical designer behind GM's Futurama and Airliner Number 4. (1893-1958) http://bit.ly/1HrmFA
  18. Compare: What has changed in five years? Virginia Postrel's The Substance of Style addressed the aesthetic imperative. http://bit.ly/wfKuJ
  19. Erect: Tim Love closes the divide Between Mission Statement and Parametric Model for Design Observer. Parallels abound. http://bit.ly/3ZKTvW
  20. Tackle: Ken Carbone takes it upon himself to redesign "the worst" NFL helmet graphics. Do they work harder? You decide. http://bit.ly/3KnxeL
