holy! holy bird house

I don't think a bird has any religion but the designer made a good choice of material and shape to make such a luxury house for birds. I guess no one will really use it. There are too many "redesign" Cockoo clock out there in the market, so it's time to make a difference ... bird house ha. I am waiting some extraordinary bird cages as well. <poaa>

My sister continues my dream

My sister's apartment renovation is finally finalized. At least everything is put in space. Thanks to her, her got several items in my "dream list" and built an incredible dream home. Dare to say, not much people have the patient to insist matching all these items. This is not easy to accomplish but we made it. The work is not finished yet and still need to entertain our elderly's.

Anamone Table from Finland

my sister's most favorite corner.

Special edition of egg chair

another side of our world

That's the best pic I can took in Yemen. The city is old, very old. There are many brick houses along the hill side that makes a spectacular view.

3D wallpaper

This is a kind of handmade wallpaper which I really love the effect, layers of gingko leaves. The artist is also producing a series of romantic feel of upholstery using traditional silk print techique. The items can be enquired in the web. It is really worth to to have a look. <catherinehammerton>

捱騾仔

Moon light

Autumn is coming.

pick of the day

My home as a salon.

Green field

I have been struggling to plant grass for weeks. This is the first time to keep real grass in my home and seems I can get another sq ft or more. Unlike the wheat, I suppose the life cycle of the grass should be very long and I don't have to do harvest after weeks.

school desk

I just found standard chair by Jean Prouvé has another version as school furniture. Having the same heritage of Standard chair and EM table. Should I call it standard school desk?<architonic>

Lightree

I read the introduction on this lighting object in ID magazine years before. And I did write to them for enquiry but there was no response. This object is a concept design by <i2d> that comes with several modular branches of bulbs that make the irregular shape likes a tree.

Two in One

Talking about Magis, it does have real good stuffs in 2007 product line. I love the steelwood chair and this piggyback table. There is no need for extra space or changing the table form. Does it have galvanized iron version?? <architonic> <Magis>

Galvanized Steel furniture

My sister intends to buy chair-one to match with her Anemone table. The chair is metal with grey color that give architectural feel. But besides chair-one, there are few products from Magis which also worth to take a look. The Sussex table based is made of Galvanized steel and the new steelwood chair, I suspect the grey color is also galvanized iron. That's real cool. <archronic> <bouroullec>

Mshelving

This product illustrates how colorful plane can have chemical reaction with metal. instead of oxidized aluminum, galvinized steel is used to give industrial feel as a contrast. Industrial look does not mean it is made of low cost material, it has wide range of covering and doors made of colorful finished steel, powder coated aluminum, wood veneer etc. After all, export to US only.......<Loadbearing>

Vitra mobile furniture

That's the one I am talking about. The metal cover turns to a notice board for magnet sticker. <hhstyle>

Trend of home office

I don't like to work at home, it is supposed to get the work done before going home. At least, you should not bring your working spirit and staying nervous at home. This is my belief and I have to think twice now. See those colourful cabinet that turn your home into a creative world and see how you feel energetic to work in such a private office. The designers realize that people need to work at their home. So office furnishing is merging into everyone's home. Orignal wood is mixed with colorful plane and make your working space lot more interesting. Green color is really a good choice to match with wood furniture and this is totally fit to my home theme. There are many possibilities that may happen to my home.


<established and sons> a new brand made in UK














I saw these in interior magazine once. They are good but also expensive to me. Looking at the shapes, I related them to similar Vitra office collection. <leighharmer>

Thinking of a new credenza

I am drawing a credenza for the designer who is working on my sister apartment project. I asked him to build one for my apartment but he had some comment on the mosaic topping: the finishing outcome may not as good as expected. But my wife is insisting to use the expensive Bisazza mosaic. It is hard to make discussion.

Green land is ready for winter

After waiting for 3 months, my special shape Casalis Galaxy carpet is delivered. The rug is exactly what I expected. The rug comes in good shape and no cleaning is required. However, after taking some pictures, it was wrapped and kept under the sofa: the rug is too thick for summer. ha

small side table

Just as the product description: a fusion of comtemporary design with natural touch of wood texture. This is always an unbeatable formula. And you can obtain it at attachive price <ona>

See! Another good example <architonic>

A big book feature

This is another remarkable piece other than the lazer cut console "romance". I like the lime green interior. Can it mount to the wall? <gnr8>

Cushion sofa

This should be a very comfortable sofa imaging that you are wrapped with cushion. This brand seldom appears in the magazine and I only saw once in wallpaper. Unfortunately, there is no agent for asia countries <Saba>

iriver unit2

This is a multimedia player that can be used for PMP, CD, DVD, HDD, tuner bababa and it supports WLAN. It's rare to have an applicant with all functions integrated like this one and Korean product design is playing a much important role nowaday. The sound part is using Nakamichi. It is good to have more quality stylish AV products available other than B&O. <iriver>

serien new product

This Deutsch company has new surprise to me. The craftmanship and details of the design make the product unique and outstanding among the product group. If I have not finished my home renovation, I'll surely add them in my shopping list. <serien>

I love wood work

This folding table is so neat that no one should criticize on it ...except the pricing which is quite subjective. The use of plywood with clever folding design, make this table serve the most basic function just as it's name called "last minute". Some new photos are added in the web, so I can get a clear picture what it looks like when matching with the surrounding. I think this is the one for my Swedese bend chair.



























































Or maybe this one is good for study room too. But this is not a folding one. <moormann>

Vintage GSM phone

I am not talking about Motorola 8800 mobile phone. Have you ever imagine bringing a 2lb rotary to street and speak to a ergonometric design handset. ha! That's a killing idea if you are really abnormal. But most people nowadays are not normal and they don't want to be normal. Try this!!! Why there is no such rotary conversion to Skype phone? <sparkfun>

Zard Forever

Zard 坂井泉水 was died at the age of 40. She was one of my favorite singers in the 90s when I was still in University. She wrote lyrics for most of her songs and for other singers as well. And also Tetsuro Oda wrote a lot of songs for her in the early dates and that's the most unbeatable team to get no.1 in Oricon. I think its time to recall my old days with my records: WANDS, DEEN, Bz, Zard bababa <Zard>
