Do you secretly idolize Nick Offerman’s character Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec? Now you can have some of the brilliant bushiness that is so infamous with his stache. Celebrate Movember with a gift for your upper lip. Buy it directly from the man himself at Offerman Wood Shop.

Cool concept. Maybe less than cool results? I love this idea, don’t get me wrong, but I just don’t think the end product is going to be what is expected.

For those of you that have that late night hankering to ping pong. Well, maybe it’s a bit more serious with a price tag like this (a cool $1,900)…

Following up on the success of the very limited (we’re talking 5 for sale) Chalk ping pong table for PUMA, NYC’s aruliden have developed a lighter & less expensive version that will be available exclusively through the Conran Shop.The new design features a black laminate surface for ultimate performance with a white powder coated metal frame, and sports a traditional net (as opposed to the chain-link net that was featured on the Chalk table). via: Arkitip

Hugh Leeman is an artist living and working in San Francisco. He is self taught. He is helping those that go unnoticed and overlooked to be remembered.

At 18, he grabbed his backpack and traveled the world, hopping trains to see as much as he could. Three years later, he was in the Tenderloin for a six-month stopover. He’s not quite sure why he never left. Inspired by the work that Shepard Fairey and others were doing at the time with wallpaper glue from the hardware store, a world of possibilities exploded in his mind. via: The Bold Italic

Watch the video recently created to spotlight his social mission and hopes for the future of the Tenderloin after the jump.

Leon Keer and Planet Streetpainting has unveiled new 3-D paintings at the Sarasota Chalk Festival in Florida. Keer was inspired by the recent Ego Leonard sculpture that washed ashore nearby. To see the story about the Lego castaway again, it was posted here on Curated a few days ago.

Planet Streetpaining is a collaboration of street artists based in the Netherlands. As Planet Streetpainting’s art director, Leon Keer is always fascinated about what history reveals. He tries to connect the historical events with current issues in this society. For the Sarasota Chalk Festival he has been inspired by the discovery of the Terracotta Army of China and Ego Leonard who washed ashore in Sarasota yesterday morning.

The one thing that I took away from my time in Paris, is if it’s in Colette, you should probably own it. These Colab sunglasses are no exception. If you can pull this look off, do it.

Anthony Lister (US/AUS) an Australian born painter turned Brooklyn based superhero. His work can be seen on both the street and gallery walls of London, NYC and Australia. Anthony explores the iconography of modern society. These icons take the form of cartoons and superheroes engrained in our youth by television and pop culture. Mr Lister’s work questions the reality and value of these modern gods and goddesses. There’s one thing for sure, Anthony Lister’s super power is the Midas touch.

Have you ever been sitting around and thought, I wish I could get all the old time analog sound from a gramophone out of my iPhone? Well be still your nostalgic audiophile heart, the folks over at en&es have just given you something to pine over for the upcoming gifting season.

Nick Veasey has created some striking images for The Macallan.

Shooting with an X-ray machine rather than with a traditional camera, British photographer Nick Veasey produces surprising, visually enchanting work that begs the observer to think about what’s under the surface. With more than twenty years of experimental experience, the TED speaker’s fascinating body of work spans subjects from insects and flowers to cars and even airplanes, each broken down to expose its raw inner components. Veasey’s next project finds him putting his graphic images on whisky bottles as part of a collaboration with The Macallan.

Intricate and astounding, this chair took six months to make. As stated by Kyouei Design:

This chair was handmade by Kouichi Okamoto himself, spent over 6 months for one chair. It was created by bending aluminium wire and crossing it one by one. No bolts or welding is used at all. The tools used for this design are only a jig and a pair of pliers.

That is some commitment. I wonder how comfortable it is. Detailed photos after the jump.
