Beautiful dining table re-purposed as a huge workspace — all weather-worn and lovely.

Photographer Ari Marcopoulos designed a sleek camera bag for inCase with enough space for an SLR, a film rangefinder (a Leica, of course), a pocket camera, an iPad and the various bits a traveling photographer might need on a day of shooting or a traveller might want while on holiday. The case is a lovely neutral grey with a clever greyscale chart on the side, the only hint to the contents within. This bag is very understated while being fully functional, well-padded and roomy. The video shows the bag being packed and in action on a day of freeform photography. (via Incase | Ari Marcopoulos)

NOTCOT took the Slice Precision Cutter for a test drive and provided a review of this ceramic knife. Its designed by Karim Rashid to cut like an X-Acto but with a long-wearing ceramic blade and easy-to-hold ergonomics. Opinions online vary depending on quality control of the product but for about $7, its a lot cheaper…
