Design

Great project, when a design company go beyond what the client expect first...

 

Today, I went to visit Mr Eka, the great wood craftman who did the Helvetica wood letters collections with me, to seen the samples of the 3td collection... It won't be on sell until a long time as I want to sell the first 2 collections before, but they look fantastic ! The idea is a raw wood collection, but covered with metal packaging elements... It is great and it is recycling !!!

 

 

For the 2 actual collection, Recycled Teck & Raw Suar wood I want to do a cover for the reseller catalog, and shoot all the letters with instagram to show how they are all different !

 

 

 

And as instagram is so easy, if you do order of a word, I can took a picture to be sure you like the colors ! Just send your request when you order them...

 

This is a week end post ! Thanks for all the orders of the Helvetica wood and coasters, the first packages will be send on monday. It seems some people have some bugs on the ordering process, so if you try to order and fail, please email me on which device and what goes wrong...

 

Thanks a lot for all these nice feedbacks, tweets, facebooks messages about the new site, and articles about the products : The Dieline / Design Work Life / Inspirare 

 

I was looking for simple cupboard and I found so much more... this is Bali ! I love this chairs, I would want to took them all ! If you have a bar or a project where they can be at the right place, feel free to contact me...

 

 

 

After some more road, I found this shop selling vintage Vespa. I am not sure everything is from origin but they are superb, and will go so well with the chairs ;)

 

 

 

Earlier this week, I stop by the house a guy passionate by Vespa Side Car... the red "Starsky & Hutch" one is my favorit.

 

 

 

And here are some images of Bali life... the temples and the every days offers to the gods.

 

 

This stunning view may be soon something I see everyday...

 

 

The main touristic attraction in Ubud, is the Sacred Monkey Forest. You can walk in this magnificent place with monkeys everywhere... the other picture is a nice under the rain sunset too from my home.

 

 

All these pictures werre taken with instagram of course, and they just do a profile page where you can see all my pictures and follow me... Better late than never...

 

 

Now the site is online, I can go back to my usual posts ! Back on october 18th (read first post here), in Singapore, still guided by Yong, designer behind Somewhere Else. After visiting The gentlemen press letterpress and design studio, and have a nice lunch with the team, Yong bring us to a very nice street full of great shops : Yong Siak Street

Just at the side of it, is another designers shop, where I can get my fields notes books as I miss some: Stangelets. I also get a copy of the Singapore design magazine The design society journal there.
