heatwave_whiteJoris_Laarman_Radiator_A radiator element in an unusual style that can best be named neo-rococo. For heat exchange you need a large surface, and baroque styling provides just that. This heating system consists of one radiator element of about 60×70 centimeters that can be linked together. The curly shape of this element implies that a configuration looks as if it were one object. Modularity is a hidden quality.

American brand Artecnica has launched WirePod, a multi-point electrical “power pod” designed by Joris Laarman.

Joris Laarman’s WirePod is a flexible gray power pod that begins with a three-prong plug and branches out into four curled arms, each with a single three-prong socket. Its arms and body roll and unfurl as needed to adjust for your functional living space.

Hot water bottle is good idea to get warmer. Nowadays we can find all kinds of covers, so I say : Go and get one for yourself :) !!!

Hot water bottle was first designed by Ole Jensen, born in 1958, ceramist/designer. He graduated as a ceramic designer from the Kolding College of Danish Design in 1985 and from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1990.

I got inspired to write this post yesturday, when I saw a man with his children on one called in dutch bakfiets- cargo bike.  Must say I love the look of dutch parents with their little blonde, red nosed and with red cheeks from the cold wind children on this kind of bikes.
The ones I found for you are not so usual, they are much more stylish. Madsen cargo bikes are very classy, great vintage design is accompigned by soft pastel colors.
Load up the kids and head to the market on the kg271/BUCKET. This model will carry your precious cargo and help you complete all your errands in style. The BUCKET comes equipped with a removable seat and two seatbelts. Disc brakes and 8spd SRAM components are just a few of the specifications that make the MADSEN as tough as it is elegant.

The price is $1,299.00

I really like the fun and simplicity at the same time, like for example the MHY Pendant Lights. Their products are manufactured by several companies, including muuto, who produces the MHY light as well as other products.

MHY has an elegant appearance and a strong personality. The playful shape of MHY draws inspiration from illustrations and characters from our childhood’s literature. The neat size of MHY allows the pendant to be mounted in clusters or rows over your kitchen table, dinner table, in a hallway or somewhere else where you would like to add a design element with unique, but understated character.

Chang Ting Jen found a solution. Backpack Bicycle will make our life easier. Just take it with you anywhere.

According to the specs, a production version would weigh around 5.5kg and fold into a backpack that measured just under 60cm in length. Hmmm… The idea is nice, but would it be comfortable?!

Walls covered with black fur, bed legs in ballet shoes, Fluorescent ballerinas figures – these are just some of the attractions in Sopot Hotel Lalala. This unusual hotel. The only such in the Tri-City, only in Poland, and perhaps in Europe. Has only 7 rooms and each of them is another story, another narrative, another world. Each room is different, because no other author can be found in any unusual features, ranging from unusual colors and patterns on the walls of the unusual items. Hope you´ll like it.
