Heart Hole punch
The office romances, the flirting at the photocopier, the disciplinary action
after the Christmas party… For a place so fraught with love and lust the
office is quite a dull place to look at - corporate sponsored mugs, tastefully
chosen comedy calendar and passive aggressive notes about borrowing
other peoples stationery all add up to ruin the romance of a day at work.
Luckily for your love life (or for your love of filing at least) we’ve come up
with something to put the passion back into your paperwork – our Heart
Hole Punch is a classically styled metal hole punch which punches 2 heart
shaped holes instead of round ones. The only hint to its secret is the subtle
heart shaped centre point. Who says romance can't be understated.Heart Hole punch

Brick
KiBiSi has designed the Brick series for Versus. The series consists of a puf, a chair, a two and three seater. KiBiSi set out to make a sofa with strong architectural references since KiBiSi partner Bjarke Ingels couldn’t really find the right architect’s sofa for his apartment. The point of departure was a classic brick bond forming the cushion pattern. The cushions are tied together and fixed with a tailor quality button. The button, also designed by KiBiSi, is molded of fiber concrete – Yet another architectural reference.Brick

the shape reflects on the duality and unity of the sleep/wake cycle as well as illustrates a turning motion that triggers the snooze function. Another turning motion is applied to setting the time and the alarm.The Milky Way from Henrik Amberla
project photographed by Ted Sabarese
Each model's clothing in the series was made entirely of real food and depicts a meal that the person was craving. This project was shot in January of 2009 (pre Lady Gaga). 15 designers, led by Ami Goodheart of SOTO Productions, were involved and each garment took hours to cook, create and assemble. The artichoke gown was designed by Daniel Feld and Wesley Nault of Project Runway fame. It took over 6 hours to finish (the model stood the entire time while they attached each, individual leaf).

Alexandra von Furstenberg
new Bullet Coffee Table is infused with a rare dark energy as it seems to resemble a bullet inspired coffin! But maybe its my own morbid imagination that is seeing a resemblance with a coffin since the designer is aiming for something completely different. Von Furstenberg's Bullet is constructed of 18 clear acrylic panels which are precariously joint at each of the 18 junction to give an illusion of a life size diamond. Alexandra von Furstenberg's designs are not everyone's cup of tea but there is no denying that the designer shows flashes of genius when it comes to mixing fashion, fantasy and furniture.Alexandra von Furstenberg's Bullet Coffee Table

the surrounding neighbourhood is dominated with modest vacation houses and retirement homes.
intrigued by the idea of mimicking a similar sense of modesty, the architects planned the dwelling
to ''hide'' behind a protruding mailbox. the northwest elevation, when looked at square on,
does not offer much indication of the biggest feature of the house--the sculptural wall-veranda--but
rewards those who investigate the house further by seemingly unveiling itself as one deviates
from the straight approach.
