home project begin

Accidentally, I passed the Lane Crawford Home Store and it was on sale. Some items had significant reduction thought the price was still high.... There are some light furnitures that worth to take a look and give my home a new look. I like the Fritz Hansen coffee table and it should be a good deal comparing the price from the online shop. But, well I just bought one from Ikea.... I should not think of the other. The other budget item is a table called Frog by Naughtone. But my wife don't like the glass top.... Seems I have to pay the original price for something perfect.

Projector project II

Experiment time again. This is the pocket size projector that I think worth to try. Not because it is made by DELL but its spec: DLP, contrast 800:1, 50 lumen and a projector liked lens. Also Keystone - an extra function that I do not expect in such a small projector. It is hard to imgine a projector can be as small as a palm size 3.64" x 4.12" x 1.46" / 0.80 lbs. Just wait for one / two months, I can play with it and generate more fun with my home. <dell>

New Wall clock

Just received a news letter from plusminuszero, a simple analogue clock is released. the concept is to making it like a relief hanging on the wall or a sulpture. It sizes 250mmx250mmx33.4mm. Not bad with spot light.

projector project

There are a lot of news about how small the coming projector will be and commercial products have been produced and seen in fairs. Palm size, pocket size, pico size... even a phone can have a projector built-in. What for? to watch clips, games, file display and small group presentation etc. But I have another idea which I won't consider when project size is large and burning hot: Use it as an lighing object. Thanks to the ultra bright LED, these pocket size projector is so instant and cool with low power discipation. Now I can put it to illuminate a small corner with water wave pattern, moving shadow just like a big show room. Many idea is poping up now and what I need is to buy a good pocket projector with at least 500 lumens, 40 inch.

New Hulger USB phone

Hulger brings good idea by making spectacular VoIP phone, vintage handset with USB adapter. It is great but expensive. That's why there are many similar products which are much more popular. I bought a PENELOPE*PHONE last year and that cost me 160USD at that time. But later I found the price dropped quite a lot at the offical web, I think they realized their price is way too high. But be honest, their special edition is really amazing for collector.



















OK. This is the new product called PAPPA* made of wood and brass, a good color and texture matching but it cost 300...... Anyway, the workmanship seems good and there are some improvement on the cradle connector and the phone jack. But I 'd suggest some curve shape and more details on the base will be more sexy. <Hulger>

my PLEN in action

This is a real tough action. The editing software is really painful to use and program. Wish there are more supports soon.

Piano Door Bell

The idea really attracts people playing with the doorbell. I guess if I put this bell on, a lot of kids (even big guys) will play tricks on it.

崖上的Ponyu

Must be a good movie this summer and I guess this ponyu character will have a lot of popular products afterwards. It's time to save money for it.

LX3

This new model of LX series has a bit vintage feel and the accessories are like collectable. Anyway, the function is still important. This model does not come with 16:9 CCD (is it still LX?) and the size may be too large for snap shot. Still, it is a must buy DC.

Robot motion training

It is painful to tuning the original setting but once it is set balance, the motion is very smooth like the one seen on TV show and exibition. And the appearance is so cute that motivate my work on enhancing motion and adding more funny actions.

moon light cabinet

I am not sure the black light effect is as good as seen in the picture, it is hard to see a furniture with a big flash in your eye. This is the one and surprisingly it is also manufactured by Ennezero; the maker of Tester Bed Vita Privata which is my sister's favourite four poster bed. The use of luminous paint make the cabinet a lighting object as center of interest. The normal view image is comparatively too pale. mocoloco via <yatzar>

Ready for new toy

Just placed the order and wait for two weeks, I'll begin my homework which I have no idea if it can be easily accomplished. Though, the kit has not been delivered, a lot of ideas pop up in my mind such as hand grip (like the R-blue) and motion edit to run as fast as omnizero.

sofa model 137

This sofa looks like the Japanese sofa but actually it is designed in 1953 by Finn Juhl from Danmark. It is also called the Japanese Model as it is inspired by Miajima water gate off the coast of Hiroshima. So it is a fusion of Japanese style and Scandinavina craftmanship. The chair's detail has a bit like Carl Hansen & son product. It is beautiful! <onecollection>

I have noticed this icon watch for years and finally it comes to production. It is dame cool to show off as a toy watch and I am sure it is totally unexpected to your friend. This watch is designed by &design and is now available in MOMA store. This Japanese design firm also has many interesting icon products such as light switch, door bell etc.

new chair from Magis

Magis has some attractive items in the latest release. This includes chairs and hangers, both are easy to match in home. If my sister can wait, I would prefer to get a black one than a chair one. This steel wood chair designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec is available now at the same price range with chair one. <magis>

pure white

A simple and iconic seating series from Artek. In the recent release, the pure white leather and the wooden frame image further establish a classic milestone of Finnesh design. Pure white is not easy to do color match but it is really lovely. <Artek>

Time Brick

I dun remember if I have talk about this Verbarius clock. It flashes in my mind when I am thinking of getting an alarm clock instead of using my mobile phone to wake me up in the morning. This is kind of cool but I suppose it is better to come with alarm clock function....as basic. <Artlebedev>

every body runs

This is a simple action game. What you need to do is to keep running running and jumping in different countries and to stay away from ox, police, girl, fat man ... The rhythm is light and fast. Good for killing time while waiting for meeting or keep yourself awake!!! <miniclip>

A chair that comes with flying colors

Do you feel your home is too dull? Do you feel you have too many ideas to your home? This chair should fit you or I think most gals like it. This OZ chair is introduced in IMM Cologne 2008 and it is a project of Cate & Nelson, a swedish and Spanish design studio. It looks like a color sample of textile that can color match with the surrounding by fliping the cloth. That's a bright idea and I think this idea can apply on many applications. <mocoloco>

concrete sofa

Happy Chinese New Year! This is the year of rat and I wish to enjoy more funny designs that inspire my life.

That's cool if one is putting in a park. <hi-id>

sofa again

I know it is a bit crazy but I am really addicted to e15 product esp seeing its new items in show room and IMM cologne report. When I first read e15 is going to launch upholster series, I thought it should stick on its hard wood business. But when I saw this modular series, oh god, I am looking for this so long. The extra tall upholstery board provide a simple solution to avoid. wall reflection of music. No extra sound absorption work is required. Also the idea for rear board does serve a good option to improve the interior appearance. I know my living room is too small to fit all these master piece. But I really love it. <e15>

new magazine rack

OK! a new CD player requires additional input to my speaker. So there is no extra port for my subwoofer and I decided to give up my 2.1 config. The extra space is fit to a new tenant: contraforma magazine rack "romance 04". Thanks to my sister who buy the same series coffee table so I can join the order. My home is turning into a show room, my wife said.

My minimal audio system is completed

Finally, I can play CD with my new toy and output to active monitor. This is really a painfull experience. Normally, an amplified output signal cannot used as line-out. I did great search on any HiFi shop and no one think it is possible or it will have great distortion. Lastly, I found a rare HiFi accessory in ebay that did the exact function for high power rated amplifier. This precious blackbox is right behind my CD player in the picture. The sound may not at top quality but I have no complaint now.
