Experimenta is a design studio based in Wellington, New Zealand with an exceptional portfolio. They are inspired by minimalism and modernism, and have a great Critique section on their site where they analyze typefaces and design theories. Any site with a diagram of a golden section page gets my respect.

The work by Netherlands based Almost Modern simply blows me away. I love how simple and minimal the work is but at the same time it’s just beautiful.

This is probably the sexiest form I’ve seen in a while. Right up there with that Eames form. I want one.

It was created by Ewan Robertson of Oscar And Ewan for Terrace Studios, a gallery in Dalston, London. The project includes identity, design and a website which you can check out there.
