Christmas special

This is a long holiday starting from Christmas eve to 2006 new year, thought I have to get back to office some times this week. We decorated our tiny house with limiting resources and the outcome is amazing. Photos of our home and homemade X'max dinner will be posted very soon. hehe

Tord again

This new product is called Thinking of You: forever, now & here. I don't find any relation between this theme and the vase. But the product itself is gorgeous. Remark: The vase itself has to work with a smaller bottle which place inside the vase to hold the flower. You can use different color bottle to make your own style. An interaction between the designer and the user.

Tord Boontje

Really long time no post. There is so much work load and I can only work, sleep, eat and shit. All holiday mood is gone already before the Christmas time actually comes. It is not worth to keep working for "something" which is unlikely to accomplish......

Wa, Tord Boontje who extracts the beauty of nature into his design launches new series with Kvadrat. Remember the Garland light and Until Dawn curtain. These curtains are really great, just dunno how much they cost. :P
<kvadrat>

Make fun of designer lights

That's inspirative!! A PCB lighting model of designer lights. Created by emulate. <CORE77>

House warming

So happy yesterday. I have a conclusion: every home should have a PS2, WE game and multi-joystick adaptor, it works for every gathering.:>

I love trees

I read a japanese magazine that use this baby tree for interior. That is fantastic since it is light and shape like an umbrella. I think I would take it instead of rubber tree. But I dunno its name, that's the problem. Can anyone tell?

wired chandelier

Seems no one can tell which manufacturer makes this lamp. This is not a 3D rendering model. But it does similar to 3D rendering and build by white wire mat. The magazine <Perspective> claimed that it is from "Living". But it did not follow up my query when I sent my request for company information. I am thinking of building a candelabrum myself

What's new to muji

It is close to X'mas so I go shopping all all the time. Muji does have a lot of new goods for season greetings. I saw the new rugs of traditional muji style & color, that's perfect for matching. Besides, here are some new items that worth to have a look:

A CD player in dark color. That's a very famous timeless design. But seems the previous white color os better. One of the reason that I do not buy it, is becos it is too simple, no radio, no display....I think muji should modify it at least putting a display on top of the player.




















The second one is loud speakers. It is belong to the same series of CD player but the size fits for A4 file. Those do not have a laptop computer can think about it.

india rubber tree (Ficus elastica)

I went to Prince Edward today looking for a small tree fit to my home. This is is not very spectacular but it seems fit to my requirement: single tree trunk, big leaves, no ugly flowers. But it seems too short, too green (even the new leaf) and it is ficus (it grows very fast). Anyway the shape is very good so I think I will buy it if it is still available on Saturday and the price is negotiable.

My concrete planter

Ho yeah!!! My planter is finally done!! This unique and raw planter is made by my friend, he made almost everything I can think of and without any deviation from my idea. Good job!! Actually, I do think no one will like putting concrete in his home except me. But seems it does match to my wooden furniture which also mixing the regular and irregular elements

















This seems a bit too deep....aiya

A small exibition in Aoyama

I remember I went to Ayoma last month for Plusminuszero and there was a small building block with a huge ad. at the wall on the pavement side. This is a exibition hall that shows a lot of funny stuff. I say funny because it revolves the tint of living. A relaxing place.
<mocoloco>

Picture frame planter

That's exactly what I want to get to my "balcony" I think it is not in production yet, but the green and white mixture give a clean and fresh impression. Anyone who like plants should think of getting this planter..... at least one. The manufacturer is also Metaphys, it has a online shop but still under construction. I'll try to purchase when it is ready. <mocoloco>

Iceberg table

Quite an impressive coffee table called iceberg table, making of lazer cut stainless steel. It looks like a ice block, freezing!!!! it is a new product by periphere

What a candle

Actually I have no idea how it works. Seems it is a rechargeable lighting and toggle by a magnetic "match". Am I correct? Those who have bought it, please tel me how it works. It is available in hhstyle

LED lighting

It is very unusual, isn't it? Philips makes the LED becoming popular in home applicants, remember the ambient lights of its TV series. Here, the lighting comes with different colors and different shapes as well.

Lumen Tree

This is a oil lamp that projects a shadow of a metal tree on the wall. I am wondering if the shadow can be as clear as shown in the picture. It cost about $45US and it is a special gift for Christmas. Available in AdamFrank. <mocoloco>

Modern Radio

Tivoli radio DAB. It looks pretty good in shape and the audio quality is as good as the previous models. It is no doubt that there is nothing I can criticize on it's design and electronics. But it seems the buttons are some how too "plastic" feel.













Crosley CR-221, Very similar to Tivoli Audio but trends to be more classic and I like the display of the channel that looks like the areoplane control display. But the button...



















Coca Cola, siu wa's favuorite?
















Hehe, Grundig radio, can be self rechargeable. So it is simply functional. It looks good too, but just in different way.

Classic turntable with CD and radio

Coca Cola !!!!!
















Museo CD player
















Crosley player (since 1920!!!)

dispenser

I want to get one and serve corn flake!!!

Go to my friend's exibition

This exibition called"七人十月". I think it means there are seven artists engaging in this event in October. I guess. :>

This is created by Anna. She use hi-temp clay to make a crowd of "birdmen". Interesting and fun.

Mikro Garden

Two new product of Mikro Series by Sam Buxton. A good example of metal folding decoration. Available at Unica home. <designsponge>

Flower cushion by Takashi Murakami

When I search for Mikro series new product in unica home today, I found this interesting object. This character is designed by a famous japanese designer 村上隆. Here are some more introduction of japanese work http://www.kaikaikiki.co.jp enjoy!!

A side table selection

Ammm both are very good. I wanna get a side table which can put as a serving tray and embedded with sofa. Also, I can put it aside with my subwoofer so that it does not occupy any space when not in use. Finally two tables are short-listed. Can anyone tell me which one is better?

indoor parachute

Another RC toy by Kyosho. Very interesting if your apartment has a very large ceiling height.

I need to get it fixed

Hong Kong's weather is not like Euro. Those Europe factories should consider this factor if they want to explore asian market. Otherwise no matter how good the design and workmanship is, it is still a mess

My trip to Japan

Four days are really not enough!!! We had squeezed the schedule but there were still too many interesting place for us to explore. We are birds without legs, we can fly and fly only....















This is Plusminuszero in Aoyama. I found that there were many people liked me that take pictures of this shop at that angle. There are only a few items shown in this shop. But the worst thing is most of them are concept product: not for sale!!!!
