I was especially attracted to this cd player.... It only has a button for volume control and is a wall mounted cd player.... open faced to.... means U can see the cd spinning and spinning and spinning.... and spinning.... *hehe just wanted to add the extra spin* 79 pounds for this thingy over here..... foo..... I could get a home theater system if I bought this.... a cheap home theater system.... heheh
now wat do U think this is?
Now this soft looking thingy here looks like a pillow eh??? it ain't! it's a pouf... so I guess it's pretty big in reality.... U know how much this thingy here cost??? 1,645 pounds man..... I could get like 2 laptops with that money.... well this poof IS rather special... it actually has a wood structure and it's outer layer is leather...
oh my..... this is one freaking cool watch.... seeing is believing indeed.... each angle represents and hour... which means this watch has 12 angles.... by the way.. the watch is appropraitely named "Twelve" Naoto Fukasawa designed this watch for Issey Miyake. From his description of it, I seriously think it's made of crystal.... phew... must be costly... click here if U want to read what he has to say about the watch.
Found other of his works but wasn't my cuppa tea.... so I just left it there.... he designed 2 lamps for swarovski before too... there is also a flat screen tv for NEC...... Won 50 prizes for his designs.... I especially like his plywood logs which he used to design the lounge for the Stockholm Furniture Fair.
The logs should be one of his designs... U can see the pouf in the foreground, the mat on teh floor is one of his designs, the cd player is on the wall.... dunno why I'm so attracted by the plywood logs.... I feel it's pretty cool... though I won't be able to lean back in it... but it seems comfortable enough.....
Oh well enough for now..... I should sign off. Naoto Fukasawa actually has his own website but I couldn't get in... *sob**sob* sad... sad.... well at least I got to see soem of his designs... which are pretty impressive I must say....oh while looking for stuff on Naoto Fukasawa, I came across this building.
the architect of this building is Makoto Yokomizo.... I feel it's really cool that U can see the lights and all. And the way the building is separated is pretty cool.... this building should be in Japan... not very sure though... If my guess is right... this should be the MEM building in Japan... oh.. don't ask me wat MEM stands for...
Right now time to sign off... see U soon.... I think unless I'm too caught up with me gaming and all...
