We don't typically use the phrase "so good I wanna puke" to describe our latest product finds. For one, we fear this is not the sort of syntax that would be looked upon too favorably by former journalism professors. For two, there isn't much that totally knocks us off our feet these days. But that was exactly my reaction when I saw these flat-pack marble tables by Australian designer Jonathan Zawada, first on I'm Revolting and then on Arkitip. Called Affordances #1 (Y.O.R.I. — "You Only Reincarnate Indefinitely"), the tables are made from pieces of marble, granite, and synthetic stone, require no fixtures to assemble, and are infinitely recombinable. They also capitalize on one of our favorite new trends — terrazzo — without seeming at all trendy, and represent one of the first forays into design for someone known more as an art director and artist. Consider us officially obsessed.

AFFORDANCES #1 (You Only Reincarnate Infinitely) are an open edition of side-tables based on essential forms and simplified construction by Australian artist/designer Jonathan Zawada. Each is a combination of three pieces of marble or granite (and the occasional piece of synthetic stone). The table is comprised of three different types of stone, allowing…
WAH-WAH x JONATHAN ZAWADA Spend some time exploring the hidden, liminal spaces of our postmodern hyperreal situation, and sooner or later you will come across Australia’s own Jonathan Zawada. At home in both traditional and new mediums, Zawada interrogates and blurs the boundaries between art and design, analogue an
Jack of all trades and master of quite a few Jonathan Zawada has added yet another string to his already stringy bow in the form of a set of beautiful textured tables. _Affordances #1 (You Only Reincarnate Infinitely)_ are an open edition of side tables made from three modular pieces of marble and granite. Easily pieced together and intuitively designed, the really exciting feature of these hard furnishings is the patterns; the limitless possibilities afforded by the rich natural textures in the granite and marble that add a maximalist aesthetic to an otherwise minimal design.

"Sylwia z Mateuszem wybrali fantastycznie miejsce na swoje wesele. Pierwszy raz miałem przyjemność fotografować w Miętowych Wzgórzach i muszę przyznać, że jest to bardzo wyjątkowe miejsce. Po pierwszym tańcu wykorzystaliśmy wolną kilka wolnych chwil na zrobienie sesji w lasku brzozowym, który otacza okolicę. " Piotr Zawada Fotografia

A mass of bodies, limbs and expressive digital brushstrokes, artist Matthew Stone’s work is as strange as it is beautiful. Having worked with artists including "FKA twigs":http://www.itsnicethat.com/news/fka-twigs-ep alongside his personal practice, the artist is now showing a series of new digital paintings called _Healing with Wounds_ at Somerset House in London.
A few weeks ago, someone on our Facebook page coined the term "zigzag expressionism" to describe the current prevailing aesthetic in art and graphic design. At the time, we laughed, gave the comment a thumbs up, and moved on. But in the weeks since, the phrase has stuck with us — and never more so than when we caught a glimpse on Instagram of the work of recent Cranbrook MFA grad Jesse Moretti, on view now at Mondo Cane gallery in New York. What we like about this phrase in general is its laughable obviousness, but in the context of Moretti's work it actually does describe not only a visual language but a thematic one as well.
