SOUTH PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – by local designer Jesse Tise
Can you sum up South Pasadena? South Pasadena’s this small but beautiful town, with lots of old craftsmen-style houses and greenery and plant life everywhere. Theres lots of rambling side streets that criss cross through hilly terrain; ideal stomping grounds when you just feel like dropping all your work and going out for a nighttime stroll. I teach during the day in Downtown L.A., so coming home to South Pas is often a welcome change from life in the city. – Jesse Tise – Check out the full interview/travel guide at Global Yodel.

Guerilla Gardening? Seedbombs Designed to Grow Things On the Spot
Seedbombs might be the coolest new way to combine your aggression with your desire to make things more beautiful.
Earlier this week, I talked about how design is awesome when it makes everyday things like making espresso easier and better for the environment. Seedbombs are better for the environment too, but they’re fun in a different way from the Presso machine. They’re fun in the way that you never thought you’d be able to take a slingshot and a set of small balls and grow wildflowers or ingredients for salsa.
In addition, the seedbombs are made by employees of Chrysalis, a nonprofit in Los Angeles that employs homeless and economically disadvantaged men and women. Seedbombs are not just a story about design and urban ecology, but a story about using sustainable materials and giving jobs and opportunity to people within the community.
Designed Good curates well-designed products that are good for the world. And seedbombs are definitely a unique find – and one that is available on their website for 10 more days only.
