Cake, a comfortable pouf designed by architect Luisa Morganti for Swan.


Pavo Real, Driade's armchair designed by Patricia Urquiola.
Ron Arad's MT1 futuristic and retro looking armchair which i really like. It'll look so much cooler with different colour combination.
A very pure looking outdoor lounger of moulded polyurethance designed by Pablo girones and Jose Gandia for Gandia Blasco.

Byo Bag

The Byo Bag collection is so simply interesting. It is convenient and comfortable for carrying, keeps your can drinks cool or keep your packed lunch warm. I love the combination of blue + green and hot pink + orange. All my favourite colour with a good match. The use of a comfortable material, the neoprene rubber (wetsuit material) give the bag a great finish.

Wooden Digital Clock

The wooden digital clock by Takumi, a Japanese company. For those of you who haven't seen this wooden clock, look at it closely. It's brilliant!

Ever wonder how this rare handmade digital clock works? Well, it's still a mystery. No wonder it's a limited edition selling at $469. It's amazing how the digits just magically appears on the wooden block.

Pluma, the propane tank

That Pluma propane tank looks GOOD!! Finally someone noticed one of the ugly items lying around us. Thanks to Brandia Central, a Portugese design firm, we now have an item less that is unpleasing to our eyes. Not only does the redesign of the propane tank beautifies our home, the collar and handle is also ergonomically designed. The Pluma has won them the packaging design Gold in the 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).

“…a product that actually adds aesthetic value to the home, in a category that has been ignored for many years.”

Magnetic Floating Bed

Isn't it amazing that we can now have a floating bed at home! Architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars has developed a magnetic floating bed and had presented a scale model that can carry up to 900kilos at the Millionaire Faire recently.

Whoever would like to own this babe would have to be a billionaire since the scale model alone costs 115,000 euros, while the real deal will cost as much as 1,200,000 euros.
