It hits everyone at a certain time in the middle of their day, every day. It’s that hour or so when your eyelids feel the heaviest, and you’d give anything just to be able to get a short, comfortable nap, right there on your desk. And just like the Inflatable Pillow Tie, the Dictionary Desk [...]

Piperoids

Hazel Chua — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 07:34:16 +0000

Robots are all the rage these days. It’s not just the boys that want them; little girls apparently love robots too, as I’ve seen lately at our family parties over the holidays where the girls tried to wrangle the toy robots from their brother’s or cousin’s arms. And I don’t mean the conventional robot, but [...]

Popin’ Cookin’ Happy Sushi House Candy Making Set

Patra Beaulieu — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:19:54 +0000

Part of what makes sushi so delicious is its colorful presentation; the black nori seaweed against beds of sticky white rice topped with fresh red tuna and orange salmon, contrasted with greens from the cucumber, avocado and wasabi next to pink pickled ginger. Sushi looks a lot like candy and as a result tastes so much better than [...]

James Kelly — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:32:02 +0000

If you are into Anime, then you are probably a fan of Naruto Shippuden. Naruto has been trying to save his friend Sasuke from Madara and bring him back to the Leaf Village for quite some time now. With the 4th Great Ninja War waging on, things don’t look good; but at least you can [...]

‘Taterpots’ Spuds that Sprout

Hazel Chua — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 11:30:53 +0000

I was never one with a green thumb. I used to plant mongo beans in our backyard when I was still a kid, but they always died a few days later even though I watered them religiously. If you want to try your hand at planting (hopefully with a lower mortality rate this time), then [...]

Hazel Chua — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:08:51 +0000

Manga Post It Notes

Patra Beaulieu — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:56:19 +0000

How could we live without Post Its? They’re awesome to have when writing down quick messages, phone numbers, reminders, to-do lists, and they act as great bookmarks. But these Selifusen Manga Post It Notes are meant for adding dramatic speech and expression bubbles to photos or posters that need a touch of classy Japanimation. Some geeks are not always good with social skills. (Hence the [...]

Ojue Japanese Lunch Box

Patra Beaulieu — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:24:42 +0000

Summer means more dining al fresco under a blue sky. But you don’t want lunches packed in a lifeless, brown lunch bag or a plastic grocery bag. Lunch would look and taste better packed in the svelte Ojue Lunch Box. If you’ve seen the Three-Tier Bento Lunch Box posted a while back, the Ojue Lunch Box has some similar logistical design elements to [...]

Cast Iron Tool Bottle Opener

Hazel Chua — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 18:58:03 +0000

Don’t let looks deceive you. These tools are forged from cast iron, but they aren’t really tools. In the conventional sense, that is, because while you can’t hammer nails in or twist wires with these, you can certainly use them as a tool to open bottle openers. That’s right, folks: these are actually carefully crafted [...]

Patra Beaulieu — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 05:58:12 +0000

I’m not sure if this is more than a cool character/toy/art, but this Illdozer ADS-bouya vinyl figure has an awesome design. It is very unique, and would look really cool sitting on my desk.

Three-Tier Hyakka Bento Lunchbox

Patra Beaulieu — Mon, 09 May 2011 16:33:14 +0000

I think I’m turning Japanese I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so. There are so many reasons to want to turn Japanese. Their cuisine rocks, styling and design are always clean, and when it comes to logistics, they’ve pretty much written the book. When you bring your lunch in the Three-Tier Hyakka Bento Lunchbox, you’ll incorporate a piece [...]

Tatsuya Matsui is more widely known for his designs in robotics but he has foraged into the world of office supplies with the Kokuyo X-ViZ Calculator. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is actually a television remote control in hiding, because it’s not. There are a million other calculators out there and some can [...]
