TechCheck : Lapka

Design- and material-wise this object, Lapka, is very attractive to me. And if I understand the explanation well; the purpose seems to be an enlargement of our senses - but do I understand it well?

I think it would be great if this device gives an experience to sounds or tremblings (or humid air) which we never pay attention too... this would only be the case if I understand it well :).

For 220 euros it would be mine, but I don't have an iPhone and it's only compatible with Apple devices. :( Oh well at least it looks good, let's enjoy that for now.

 

Something for the Weekend : The Knife

Last Sunday I went to Shaking the Habitual' (non)concert/performance by The Knife in Brussels and I was completely amazed! I must say I am a huge fan, so only a not show would temper my enthousiasm, but still : It was so great!
So here for you and for me, something for the weekend, a long weekend in my case. Tomorrow morning I'm heading to Amsterdam (silent shout).

The basket : GinTonic

What a great idea! A webshop dedicated to an all-time-favourite cocktail, GinTonic it's as simple as that. The shop offers a wide variety of gins and tonics, a good explanation (in dutch or french) and easy to pay with paypal.

If you prefer another cocktail or for worldwide shipping, Alexander & James is your solution :).

Smile you're on Pinterest

Perfect! :)

Impress : Michael Anastassiades

For me Michael Anastassiades was the best discovery in Milan. It was my enlightened moment at Euroluce (the lighting fair of the Salone in Milan). I was strolling or you could say fast walking (almost running) through the hall to see as much as possible, when I passed by this booth with superb lighting. I had my moment. I turned back and was awed by these shining mobiles and sculptures, I can't remember if I ever found a lighting piece that beautiful.

(After this moment I discovered Michael Anastassiades is not that a big discovery as he already signed for a piece at FLOS and Nilufar... he is really a name to remember.)

(and this will be probably one of the last post-Milan posts)
