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.

aura note

An all in one music system that comes with CD player, amp, radio, USBx2 but without pre-out. So it seems not totally match to my active speakers.

PC toys TACHIKOMA

Wow, Japanese do know how to dig money out of your pocket. This is a very populer character from GITS 2nd GIG. Similar to other USB toys, it can move, making noise when you are using the computer. There is not much information in the web so I actually don't know what it can do. But I wish it can interact with some application such as MSN or outlook. <robo watch>

chandelier lover

"There are two types of people in the world"~ from the movie Swing Girls. I realized this when I posted this chandelier picture to the forum before. I supposed the reader could realize how wonderful an object could be redesigned. In return, people liked to make conclusion that it was fake without even look at the picture carefully. This is a proof that many HKese are stubborn to new things and stereotype to common taste: Starck, Eames, vintage etc. that's it.

If someone still think it is fake, I can tell you it is available now at ATELIER Abigail Ahern

Shoal of fish chandelier

I just can't stop posting this out even I am at work. This is the new work of a UK company Scabetti to be presented in 100% design at UK. I want to take a closer look to find out how the fishes are tighted together. It must be very interesting to stare from the bottom upwards. I am searching for more pictures to see what it actually looks like.

I need a nice CD player

It is shame to tell my friends that I cannot play a CD normally in living room. My dumb DVD player has only one output and audio signal has to be output from TV indirectly. And I do think to play a CD nicely, it is a must to have a good CD player, with DAC and digital output for external DAC. To fit my current configuration, I need a good looking and compact CD player to work with my Elekit tube preamp and Genelec active speakers. Seems Musical Fidelity X-ray series is targeting to those users like me. But I like the appearance of V3 rather than the latest model.

A new moon arc lamp

That's cool, like putting a new moon inside the room. This is an aluminum arc with LED on the sliding part. So it can be a floor lamp or turn up to illuminate from the top. Very functional. For those who are bored with Flos. <hansandfranz> via <technabob>

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.

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>

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.
