(kim)red

Crafted by our Design Envoy - the ever elusive Kim Jong-il in red, who, erm, broke his glasses in the car the other day. Getting him a new pair soon. Meanwhile, pardon his blue-collar look, he had a really hot day today. Interactive Consul is interacting with his iMac, as usual…

Supporting (RED) since 2006

Awesome graphics done in homage to the great Saul Bass. Funny too, if you know Saul’s works.

Don’t forget this for your MacBook Air

geek, macNo Comments »

ManilaMac
The manila envelope got real! When Steve Jobs debuted the new ultra-thin MacBook Air, he pulled it out of a manila envelope. Well these guys have come up with AirMail, a MacBook Air sleeve made in the shape of a Manila envelope.



The AirMail laptop sleeve is handmade out of durable upholstery-grade vinyl, and lined with fuzzy, soft fleece. All AirMail sleeves have the same dimensions as standard interoffice manila envelopes, which will serve to remind you — and everyone around you — that your new MacBook Air really is the thinnest laptop in the world!
