This Australian brand is around since 1994 and is just amazing. When it comes to design this is probably as good as it gets. Just get a board and start chilling. Globe was founded by two brothers down under and has conquered this world. I know these boards are around a bit. But I just saw the new designs and they are amazing. These are some of the boards TrendEngel likes the most:

Kaymet – The Revival of the Tray
Kaymet has been manufacturing high-quality aluminium trays and trolleys in south London since 1947, when company founder Sydney Schreiber set out to find new uses for machinery that had been employed making parts for radios and radar equipment during the Second World War.

Twix Cappucino – Pretty Pretty Good
Not much TrendEngel has to say about this one except: Twix Cappuccino is pretty pretty good. For the first time Twix (or Raider for the old folks) is releasing the cappuccino version. What’s not to like.

The House That Groaned – Read This Now
Karrie Fransman’s cartoon strips, which have appeared in the Guardian, and her graphic novel The House That Groaned,which won the Observer Book of the Month award, often – as the title suggests – capture the way that places themselves can become characters in a story. From a blustery park bench in ‘The Night I Lost My Love’ around which the course of a whole life appears to turn to a boxy Camden hovel which would sometimes catch the light in a certain way that reflected the road on the ceiling, places often have an uncanny knack for surprising us.
One of the best reads in a long time. No doubt.
Ridley’sGames Room – Stylish British Games
Ridley’s Games Room brings together a collection of six classic games featuring striking geometric patterns in vivid colours that ‘dance upon the eye’ with a hypnotic effect. Upon closer inspection the mid-century inspired patterns can be seen to relate back to their respective games, for instance the triangles of the backgammon box mimic the games iconic board design and likewise the squares of the chess board can be seen in its 3 dimensional cube pattern. Dominoes and Backgammon are our favorite.
