Levi’s x Kaws “Navy Teeth” Denim
As it turns out the recent collaboration of Kaws and Levi’s also includes a denim model with a navy teeth design and not only the red/white design that we showcased earlier. The “Navy Teeth” Chompers design by Kaws is much more subtle, as the design is only embroidered and not printed onto the denim.
The Levi’s x Kaws “Navy Teeth” Denim is now available at the Levi’s EShop.

Custom Louis Vuitton Luggage For Infiniti Essence
At the Geneva Auto Show, Infiniti presented their new Essence sportscar. The beautiful car does not only impress with its design and its 600 HP hybrid engine, but also with the details. As you can imagine the tunk is pretty small and therefore Infiniti commissioned Louis Vuitton to create a custom luggage collectio, that fits perfectly into the trunk. The outcome is just perfect.

OH SHIT!!!! Giant Tetris Online!!!!!!
Looking for a great way to piss away your work day? How about starting a giant game of Tetris? Even after a full eight hours of gameplay you'll probably be nowhere! The screencap here is of me playing for five minutes, and then letting it drop shapes on its own for another 2 hours and 42 minutes (larger version HERE). You can leave your desk, go take a nap in your car, and have barely missed a thing. WHEE! I double-dog-dare somebody to fill the whole thing except for a line on one of the sides. You would be my hero! And also, a loser. Mostly a loser. DO IT!

Yellow Treehouse Restaurant / Pacific Environments
It’s not often that a commission to design a treehouse is offered, so when Colenso BBDO - on behalf of Yellow Pages briefed Pacific Environments Architects for a ‘reality’ TV advert for an off-the-wall functioning restaurant, Pacific Environments jumped at the opportunity. Working alongside Tracey Collins and her team , the idea was to source all products and services through Yellow Pages listings (the book, online and mobile). It has paid us to be in Yellow - that’s how we were chosen and we are getting a great profile as a result.
LIP Clockworks
The retro-futuro watches from Lip look like they were designed in the 1950's for the flying car age of the 2000's. The brand was recently relaunched, and the Mythic (left) and Fridge (right) are two watches in the new line. They are available at Watchisimo.
Hole 19 – Golfclub St. Oswald / x Architekten
The golf course as an integrated design landscape and topography nestles up to the soft downs of the Mühlviertel. The club house merges with the landscape and integrates consistently into the natural surroundings, almost being completely absorbed by it. Its outer and inner rooms are designed as a seamless transition into the golf course and become one with the surrounding sports grounds. The inner court offers possibilities for multi-functional activities in a sheltered atmosphere - as a garden for visitors as well as a location for events and award ceremonies. Towards the south west the court opens up into a covered terrace as far as the driving range. On the northern side, it serves as a reception area for players returning from the 18th Hole. The inner court presents itself as the “19th Hole” and the club house as the “19thGreen” of the golf course and they resemble the Start as well as the Finish in the movement of club members and visitors.
Im gonna get these! Nike Killshot Vintage

Two colorways in clean, simple colors are seen here which will release sometime in the second half of April.

ZOMG, The Best Crane Game EVER!
Hey, your guess is as good as mine. Provided you guessed "awesome", and, "give me another quarter". Also, I really love how you can see the Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals in the machine next to it. But moooom, I don't want another Winnie, I want a tiiiiiiitty.

MacBook Modded With Screen In Apple Logo
Some guy went and modded a MacBook with a fully functional LCD screen in place of the traditional glowing Apple logo on the back. It's set up as a second monitor too so he can precisely control whatever appears on the thing. But mostly he uses it to display his webcam or iTunes Visualizer. Impressive, guy, but not nearly as impressive as my Apple logo mod, which is -- wait for it, wait for it....a saltwater fish tank! Boom-shacka-lacka!

Shower Head Rain - Treat Yourself to Luxury
When it comes to shower head rain, this is where you can treat yourself to luxury. A close friend of mine was telling me how she wants to remodel her bathroom. She has been in her house for ten years and rarely uses her garden tub. Her plans are to rip out the garden tub and put in a luxury shower. Her reasoning was that the shower would get used all the time, whereas the garden tub sits idle. I was asked what I thought about her idea. Her concern was whether or not it would hurt her chances to sell the property in the future. I responded that my belief is that it will not hurt the chances to sell. Many people do not use their garden tubs that often. I did caution that the shower would have to be nice to win buyers over with the new bathroom concept. Though a garden tub is on our "mental checklist" of house needs, when you really think about it shower head rain in a luxury bathroom setting has its own appeal

Takashi Murakami Retrospective Exhibiton Video
In a follow-up to Takashi Murakami’s concluding retrospective exhibit in Bilbao, Spain, a Spanish video gives us a tour of the place with the help of Murakami himself. If you can’t understand Spanish, the visuals in themselves are pretty noteworthy.
Mountain Dwellings / BIG
The Mountain Dwellings are the 2nd generation of the VM Houses - same client, same size and same street. The program, however, is 2/3 parking and 1/3 living. What if the parking area became the base upon which to place terraced housing - like a concrete hillside covered by a thin layer of housing, cascading from the 11th floor to the street edge? Rather than doing two separate buildings next to each other - a parking and a housing block - we decided to merge the two functions into a symbiotic relationship. The parking area needs to be connected to the street, and the homes require sunlight, fresh air and views, thus all apartments have roof gardens facing the sun, amazing views and parking on the 10th floor. The Mountain Dwellings appear as a suburban neighbourhood of garden homes flowing over a 10-storey building - suburban living with urban density.

Oooms Solar Birdhouse
Solar Birdhouse!!! Finally! Well, kind of. Here's the latest from Oooms ~ they describe their Solar BIrdhouse: "Why would only humans make use of eco-friendly technology? Studio OOOMS designed a birdhouse with a solar panel on it's roof. During the day sunlight feeds the solar panel, charging a small battery inside. At nighttime the transparent stick will light up and shed a tiny light on your garden. This light attracts an easy nighttime snack for the bird; all she has to do is stick her beak out of the hole and wait for the buzz."

Located in the heart of West Hollywood, this new eleven unit housing project emphasizes the central importance of shared open space for the residents and the community.

Jeremy Scott 2009 Fall RTW Collection
Jeremy Scott takes his penchant for avant-garde design to another level with his latest ready-to-wear collection for Fall 2009. The line-up obviously pays tribute to Disney’s most iconic character, Mickey Mouse. Mickey’s influence is attributed to a load of the designs featuring a medley of red and yellow color tones contrasted with black throughout each piece. The famous mouse even makes a cameo on some of Scott’s footwear designs. Very impressive I must say.
