The Sequel

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

imnotapapercup

We’ve all seen/heard/read/purchased/queued/criticized/tradedsoul for that ‘i’m-not-a-plastic-bag’ bag, now here’s the sequel to the former over-publicized affair.

This time, I dare say I WANT ONE.

Dine On Design

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

dineondesign

Potentially the most brilliant design (/fusion/food/art/omgican’tbelievei’mnotthere) project of the season. I’m not sure who are the creative geniuses behind it but it was held at Monkey Town — which started out as a seasonal dining and performance art space.

I might have missed out on that certain table reservation many are dead envious about but ferran adria is not likely to retire anytime soon. Not being in New York however for this one kicks me hard on the arse.

Read that they are staging it again, this time on my homeground - Singapore.

Again, I wouldn’t be around for it.
Come to London guys, this way please!!

We’ve Been POSH’D

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

No not this site, but THIS SITE: Singapore’s first boutique property firm gets POSH’D.

poshd

On POSH’D,
“Ever visit other Real Estate websites for inspiration? Ever notice how many of them are VERY similar? We support those of you trying to break the mold and make the real estate sites on the web a better experience for everyone. We’re here to promote you and your fine work, but we also hope that up-and-coming site developers will be able to use Posh’d as a place for inspiration. We want to raise the bar for all Realtors and their sites. Submit your site, and if featured, be proud of your accomplishments! ”

May we have more hollywood-stunts and lush-neighborhoods to boast about.
As the Chief-Urbanite puts it, if we’re not having fun, don’t bother sweating over it.

It’s a Bond Bond

I’d marry a man only if he has good taste in shoes.
And this makes me wanna be a man, just because.

At that kinda price, it’s a steal.

When Asked

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

what are you afraid of regarding the future

people who are thinking only of making money,
they make a dangerous world.
or those who are only thinking about design.
you need conjunction between the two, its very rare but you
need someone who thinks about both, to get the right answer,
to make a better life in the future.
— naoto fukasawa

And therein lies the biggest equation of my life.

Possibly the only bluetooth headset that my ear(s) will endorse. Now bluetooth headset has a name; say hello to Jawbone.

When high-speed photography meets a hell lot of patience, you get Irene Muller’s series of art photography. The shot above is from the series aptly named ‘MilkMeetsCoffee‘. I love ‘Smoke’ and ‘Water’, oh there’s ‘MilkMeetsMilkshake’ too!

Time Will Tell

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

GRANDPACLOCK
Graphic artist meets product designer; a facade of a grandfather clock printed on a canvas plastered on a sturdy wall. One look and it will be mistaken for the real thing, except that it would probably sound like an alarm clock. I came across similar execution for a chandelier years ago, an image superimposed on a cylindrical canvas. Can’t seem to find an image for that one, this has been done before but yes clever nonetheless!

Steampunk-ed!

steampunk
A game studio in San Francisco had its interior steampunked!

Living in an age where the word boutique has engulfed itself, falling into the death trap of ubiquity, design needs a new noun. I found ‘SteamPunk’ and the revolution is here.

Check this out; it’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s actually a dell pc.

This has got to be one of most classy piece of ashtray I’ve ever seen. Smokin’ hot designs (and the designer). Inspiration: pint glass. Brilliant.

ShoeRack Rolling!

Rakku

It’s about blardy time someone gets creative on where (or how) to place those relentless aquisitions. Because it’s no longer a rack, they call it Rakku! Keep on rolling guys. Neat job.

Honey, I’m Home!

My apology for the recent prolonged disappearance. Completely unintentional. I’m back and back for good. Stay tuned!

Oh hohoho…

This is dead similar to the voodoo kitchen I posted couple of weeks back. And the season of giving things-that-you-want-but-they-don’t-need is coming, so round up your wish list people!
