+ This office by Ivan Bravo was designed for Ecopellets, a company that produces wooden pellets as an alternate energy system. The building is clad in energy efficient zinc panels.

+ Futil Design has a great series of modular luggage. The base unit designed for a 24-hour trip is the size of a carry-on and can be used as a backpack as well. Put two of these together with the handle hardware and you’re good for 2 days. The modules can be combined for a grouping of up to six units.

+ The Siren candleholders by Mino Kodama "are compared to a lighthouse". The Siren elevates standard tea lights and can also be used in a candelabra or a menorah by stacking them.

+ These tiny stainless steel figures in silhouette have been created by Hannes Freising for use in architectural models and we can imagine how much fun artists would have with them too. Smaller than a paper clip.

+ The Lorna chaise by Sam Wilkinsonhas an ergonomic shell with a cushion of reflex foam that will mould to the body. Lorna is all about relaxing, reading the paper and napping.




















Ah yes! the feeling of freedom you get when hauling your 2 very handy and compartmented stylish luggage, when heading to the cabin for a short weekend.
Get away for a full week and your cluster of 6 or 7 carry-ons (depending on the number of days you count in your week) needs its own little wheeled cart... which is sold separately, right ?
Who uses one bag for 1 week when you can use 6 (or 7)?
I would go on easily, but I'm bored now.
those tea lights, siren... i find them quite boring and insubstantial. looks like something i get at pier one.
