Above Magazine:: a new bible?



It never ceases to amaze me when I come across truly sublime things. Okay yeah sunsets, rainbows, etc. Today at B&N I stumbled across this fantastic magazine that is worth choking the $10/issue price (hello Mom- birthday gift idea!), and revealed the most blissfully casual yet
intellectually stimulating read in a very long time.I couldn't resist a tag line that reads "beauty
will save the earth
" as I googled the zine when I got home. And more than that, the awesomely user-friendly site lets you flip through the zine page by page! And the articles were just pure COOL, featuring fabulously divine industrial designers such as Stuart Heygarth and his chandeliers made out of recycled eyeglass lenses (left) and toys (right).
Other articles that peaked my interest were designs by Gary Harvey- couture dresses made of newspaper and recycled "green" bags. Another was a five-page spread with glorious photos of the Everglades, and an article filled with history, passion, and a cry for our help.

I was almost disappointed to come to the last page!
