New Balance, one of the most traditional sneaker brands out there, has now launched a new series of sneaker on the basis of the 576 called the “Jacket Story”. The concept is really interesting, because unlike many other special sneakers out there, these ones are special because of the history they reflect. This new series reflects with its materials important jackets throughout history. The fur imitation lets you remember the WW2 flight jackets. The other models have some orange in them, reflecting the bomber jackets, worn by so many punks out there.

This is one of the most interesting and yet great looking couch tables we have come across. Designer Fredrikson Stallard created the table with untreated birch, leaving cracks in the top surface to confront aesthetic orthodoxies and provoke dialogue about the possibilities of design. We think this design path is more than possible! A great contrast to most regular furniture.
