The brief for this house was quite simple: “I want a 9 car garage and be able to enjoy viewing one of them in the living room.” Takuya Tsuchida designed exactly such a house, it has an elevator for one car from the garage to the living room. I can totally understand the owner of a Lamborghini Countach Anniversary edition, to make such a request. I guess it’s no surprise that can find this house in Tokyo.
Saturday has arrived, we have some gorgeous autumn weather. We have loads of things to do today, we are cleaning out our old office and moving the interiors. And then later tonight my girlfriend is having a party for her work mates, i think I’m participating too, giddy party!
So over to CASSIUS Eyewear, in a cluttered marked like eyewear – where every designer and chihuahua has it’s own range it’s difficult to stand out. Thats why we connected with Cassius a hot new brand that migrates from New Zealand, the fab antipodean country that gave the world the wonderful likes of fashion designers Karen Walker and Zambesi.
Cassius launched in early summer of 2008, spicing the international apparel exhibition in Las Vegas. It was a direct winner with exclusive stockists in London, LA, New York, Paris, Stockholm and Tokyo.
Created and founded by creative director Jason Ng. Cassius thrives with the pulse of an evolving business, taking inspiration from more disciplines of design such as; art, illustration & architecture. I’m a sunglass addict and well lets just say a have more than a bunch… I j’adore Cassius
Designer Ben Wilson has produced a monowheel – a cycle where the rider sits inside a large, spokeless wheel. This is a ride of the future, imagine this thing with a plasma engine, some nice computer based balance software (kinda like the Segway). The bike was created for the XX1st Century Man Exhibition at the 21-21 Design Sight. Ben say’s “We don’t suggest for one moment that a functioning human powered monowheel could ever provide an improvement on the modern bicycle. Instead its value comes from the discourse and ideas generated as a result of this research.”
