“Maurice Sendak, widely considered the most important children’s book artist of the 20th century, who wrenched the picture book out of the safe, sanitized world of the nursery and plunged it into the dark, terrifying and hauntingly beautiful recesses of the human psyche, died on Tuesday in Danbury, Conn. He was 83.” NY Times

The Pringles can is a design failure. When you put your whole hand in it you only get three chips out in it’s entirely. When you shake the chips into the beginning of the tube you’re taking a risk at receiving a chippy lap dance.
The Bloom Chips can solves these problems. The can, that won a RedDot Design Award, unfolds like a flower in the morning sun when the paper sleeve comes off, creating a serving bowl.

Valve a game and software developer doesn’t believe in hierarchy. This week we’ve gotten a glimpse inside of the company thanks to a leaked ‘Handbook for new employees’.
Authenticity aside, the 56-page handbook is worth a read. Not only is it full of fantastic illustrations and step-by-step guides on things like how to take company vacations, but it’s also got a brief company timeline for the uninitiated and details on how Valve itself is run. In terms of corporate hierarchy, there isn’t any. The handbook calls it “flatland” — that means there are no managers and that “this company is yours to steer.”
