WE LIKE – Shipping Containers

Ok, I’ll admit it, I am a coffee drinker. I’m a slave to my routine of morning coffee and the day officially starts with the first cup. We have written about our friends from Hammer Coffee and wish they were available nationwide. My reality though is I can hit at least 3 different Starbucks on what amounts to a 12-minute commute to work. Here is a gesture from the company I really appreciate. Where it falls a little flat for me is the fact a wonderful concept like this stops with a single location. This immediately makes you think media play more than a true testing ground for an inexpensive plentiful building resource. It is the true innovators, the guy or gal who initially bought an old shipping container and did something with it that deserve kudos, but, it is a major brand like Starbucks that can make using a resource like this on a large scale reality. For now enjoy the idea and hopefully at a minimum it sparks conversation about how to use the surplus of shipping containers coming into the country.

WE LIKE- Defy Bags

At Inhabit we design and manufacture as many of our products as possible in the United States. And, we LOVE supporting other companies that share this mindset! Our latest obsession is Defy Bags owned by Chris Tag . Located in our neck of the woods in Chicago, IL, Defy uses recyclable materials like vintage boat sails and discarded wool military blankets-how cool!! Not only does Defy use unique and innovative materials, but they marry it to incredible craftsmanship and hand detailing. Take a look below at a few of their designs and be sure to check out their website.
