Loopa spill resistant bowl

I wonder how well this will work in real life situations? or is it just a gimmick? Or maybe you need to spill things as a child to learn how to be more careful?

Money Box at Rare Device

The Money Box was designed by Kensaku Oshiro for Vlaemsch. We’re also tickled that the packaging consists of a shredded paper “nest” — we might even display it with the paper.

Tom Kundig’s Amazing Houses Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects

2-19-porn.jpg

Over the weekend I found myself daydreaming about wide open spaces and the ultimate country house. I guess being cooped up in the city in February will do that to you. What got me going was an article in the Times a few weeks ago about a house in Idaho that Tom Kundig designed for Jan Cox, an artist and designer. The images of this lone outpost with huge glass windows and warm wood interiors captured my imagination and sent me looking at all of Tom Kundig’s other house designs. Wow. They are stunning…

Today, I just want to share a little archiporn with you: a group of Tom Kundig’s houses. Like collecting baseball cards, I’m now collecting images of inspirational homes. This is my starting point.
