Moss & Fog

JULY 19 – JULY 26

Welcome to Fog Signals, our weekly best-of wrap up newsletter. This past week we looked at record-breaking wooden skyscrapers, we waxed philosophical about fog, and we fawned over a delightfully proportioned concept car. Thanks for being part of the journey!

CONCEPT CARS

The 1989 Pontiac Stinger Was Pure 80s Fever Dream, And It Was Glorious

This wild, feature-packed concept car embodies everything nostalgic and fun about the 1980s.

We've made some improvements to the website and our newsletter, can you spot them?

SUSTAINABILITY

These Glowing Green Batteries Are Alive, and They Never Run Out

Cambridge scientists and a bio-designer built a living battery from blue-green algae. It has been generating power for six years. No charging required.

AUSTRALIA

The World's Tallest Timber Tower Just Reached the Sky Over Sydney

This 180 meter (591 ft) tower is by far the world's tallest hybrid timber tower.

NATURE

In Praise of Fog, Our Namesake

We named this site for a feeling. A personal love letter to fog, and a quiet gallery of the most beautiful foggy scenes we've ever featured.

DESIGN

One Sphere & Four Tubes: The Audi ZERØ Concept Strips the Car to Almost Nothing

This wildly simplified car concept is undoubtedly an iconic shape and form factor.

BEST GEAR

Everything in Its Right Place: The Beautiful Art of Arranged Objects

It has a name: knolling. From flat-lay recipes to found-object mandalas to a life catalogued object by object — eight of our favorite studies in perfectly arranged things.

Much more good stuff to come this week, plus some really exciting announcements. Stay tuned!
