Zella Design was on the California Soul podcast this week! Check it out

It was a real blast hanging out with the creative minds of Big Old Morongo Canyon. I had a great time and they even let me play a song. I am just going to warn you now I am not much of a singer, but never the less I love to sing and play the guitar.

I would like to thank the gang up there: Steve Preston you have a real cool show. and a special thank you to Joey, Shelley, Ryan, and Casey for having me on the show.

I look forward to working with you all in the future.

The perfect day planner for visually orientated creative thinker. This notebook allows you to organize your day, thoughts and notes in a perfect harmonious circle. Your life is not linear so why should your day planner be?

It is a simple idea but like all great design simplicity is key.

The planer organizes your day around a clock icon. The left side of the page is for the AM hours and the right side is dedicated to the PM.

For once creativity and timeliness can work in balance. I picked up a Muji notebook on my last trip to New York and I love it. If you are any thing like me than you are constantly thinking up new ideas writing them on napkins in your cell phone and basically anywhere else you can find. This is a perfect solution for all of us scatter brained ADD thinkers.  And if all else fails it looks cool.

Here are two designs that I came across that are perfectly suited and inspired to complement your Apple computer and accessories.

The Milk Desk

The perfect desks to complement you’re simplistic, functional, creative personality. This desk is clean and clever with a minimal sturdy look that is packed full of I wish I would have thought of that design features.

The Milk desk has built in organizers designed to hide away all of your lose, messy cables in a simple manner. There are four cubic boxes that sit flush with the table where you can stash away all of your office nick knacks. The best features are the cubic fish tank that fits perfectly into the desk what a nice way to add some life to your office.

The desk measures 55.12x 31.49 inches with a massive aluminum footing and electric controlled height adjustability.

The D/A Organic Clock

Although this clock is just a prototype I am sure a consumer version is in production. The D/A clock was designed by RISD design student Alvin Aronson. The clock features a cool digital meets analog face that looks like a LCD but is made up computer cut inlays that constantly fall in and out of the face.

 It is a very nice update on the classic power of a good clock and a perfect complement to your Apple computer. Having this clock in your presence just might inspire your next great idea. Once again style, function and simplicity makes the best designs.
