Our project was to create solutions for a large variety of situations, spaces and habitats. The result is a comprehensive collection of 85 items including different sorts of basins, mixers and solutions for the bathtub and the shower areas that can be arranged freely according to one’s needs.

Backpack Porn

It's been too long since I've posted up here.
Many reasons: no internet, no time, no Acky :(

Anyway, I've been looking for a good backpack for a while now that I can carry my life around in. There's a lot of choice out there when it comes to carrying things but these bags stood out a mile for their durability, functionality, aesthetics and price!!

Zugster is a one-man San Fransisco based operation that makes custom bags of all sorts for bag perverts like myself. The one that stood out the most was the backpack:





(Just in case you were considering ordering one of these wonderments,
the waiting list is about 4 years!!)

Another San Fran based manufacturer is Mission Workshop.
Their cargo backpacks are the ultimate in carrying shit.






Definitely my favourite of the two but a bit pricey at $350 inc. postage to fair Eire.

Marije Vogelzang

Marije Vogelzang has designed these mouth watering spoons for Droog, and their 'saved by droog' project,





'I covered the spoon with different layers of silicone (pink) in various textures. in this way it seems as if the spoons are covered with cake batter. I like the possibility of silicone making a very textured surface, playing with this idea. it gives the spoons a less slick appearance. food itself is seldom slick.' - marije vogelzang
