Glorious(?) Return to Canada and new post
Hi all, I’m back from my little stint abroad in Georgia (the country, not the state). So here’s a new eco-friendly architecture from Denmark (Gosh, we’re really lagging behing North America!).

NORBLACK NORWHITE
It’s not too often that a clothing line catches my eye and stops me dead in my tracks. Well, it just happened. Right. Now. NORBLACK NORWHITE is the creative superbaby borne between Toronto and India.

Ctrl+Alt+Del Porcelain Cups

Update your bedroom with minimalistic flair.
I came across this company, Haiku Designs, that produces bedroom furniture that takes influences from Japan. Simple and understated elegance is what they are all about. I am very fond of their “Kyoto” platform bed and their “Raku” tatami bed. The “Kyoto” platform bed is made with sustainably-farmed mahogany and comes with individually adjustable headboards [...]
The Ginzu of Umbrellas
It was a pretty rainy day in Toronto yesterday. A dude in Burrito Banditos had one of these and I thought it was fun. I took pictures with my phone but they didn’t do justice. From a quick search, these run for about $20. Click here if interested
