Earlier this month, we announced our brand new site, Dog Milk, which is dedicated to Modern Dog Design. If you’re a dog owner looking for a good modern design resource, then this is it!
On Monday, we announced our newest project, Designer Desktops. View and download our March custom desktop wallpaper, featuring a quote by Charles Eames.
We all work very hard, many of us spending countless hours staring at our computer screens. So I thought, why not have something pretty and inspirational to stare at? This is a new project we’re going to try out here on Design Milk — Designer Desktops. Starting this month, Design Milk will create a beautiful desktop wallpaper for you to download to your computer and iPhone, inspired by a thought-provoking quote from a renown designer. This is all in good fun, and best of all, they’re free!
This first month, we’re kicking things off with none other than Mr. Charles Eames.

Dutch designer Joris Laarman will unveil new works at Friedman Benda tonight, including his Leaf Table (above) and a number of other works. If his name sounds familiar to you, he is the designer behind the bone furniture we featured back in 2007. The bone furniture algorithm revolutionized design back in 2006 — it translated the complexity, proportion and functionality of human bone and tree growth into a chair form.

Yes, that’s right! We’ve officially launched Dog Milk, our brand new site dedicated to modern design for modern dogs.
I have two dogs (Lulu and Beans) and found that there was not a site dedicated to modern dog products or modern dog design out there. There needs to be a place where modern dog lovers can discover new products and find what’s beyond the chain pet stores — that’s Dog Milk. It’s also a place for us to share our thoughts on pet product designs, offer tips & tricks, and review modern dog products.
With the help of my co-pilots Lulu and Beans I will be updating Dog Milk daily, and we hope that you modern dog lovers will join us!
