		<title>New Amsterdam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

In the 17th century, Dutch colonists called New York City, &#8220;New Amsterdam.&#8221;
I think a lot about Amsterdam these days, as it&#8217;s well known as the city of bicyclists. My life in NYC has improved in large and small ways since May, when I hopped on my new cream-colored bike with a sassy red brake cable (by PUBLIC [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Urgent Word from Cathy Bailey on Peace Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
by Cathy Bailey, HEATH Ceramics

She just wanted to see inside the homes of designers and artists she admires.

&#8220;Handcrafted Modern: At Home with Mid-century Designers,&#8221;  will be published by Rizzoli in October.
Until then, I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

Once in a while, I find something that&#8217;s so beautiful it hurts a little.

Today, it&#8217;s this work by Caroline Slotte.

		<title>Brothers, Collaborators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Somewhere between art, fashion and craft, you&#8217;ll find Brooklyn based brothers
Steven and Willam Ladd.
We love their statement of values:

Be focused and disciplined.
Collaborate.


Their collaboration with video artist MAK places the Brothers Ladd inside their own created environment:  terre du lac video.



What other collaborators should we know about?
