‘Change it’— just as its name implies— is an innovative wall decoration that allows you to change its colors every minute. Each of the triangles used to make up the item has three different colors on their sides, including white, black and rainbow shade. Therefore, you can turn these triangles to form different pictures on the wall.

That’s not enough! As in the future, the designers will also use light, typography and other unique materials to take the place of colors, in order to give you more choices. [Read the rest of this entry...]

‘Hua’ Vase Inspired by Chinese Character

20100210201

Ancient Chinese poems were always endowed with profound meaning or thought. In one famous poem, the poet told us that any beautiful flowers will finally turn into nutrition to support the next generation to bloom. And that’s just where Mike Mak has drawn the inspiration of the innovative vase-’Hua’. When filled with fresh flowers, the vase just indicates the process of blossom. But when the flowers die off, the vase then signifies that they’ve transformed into nutrition for the next blossom season. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Designed by Eric Daigh, each of these portraits is finished with about 25,000 pins. Terrific! [Read the rest of this entry...]

Hand-sculpted Ceramic Vases

20100203501

I just love the look of these vases. All hand-sculptured from white stoneware clay, the Narwhal Vase, Snail Vase, White Rabbit Vase and the Angel Kitty Vase have been fired twice up to 2232 degrees before they were brought to us. Though each piece functions as a vase, these cute gadgets still doubles as an eye-pleasing sculpture when not filled with flowers. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Just as you can see from the pictures, it is the colorful shadows of the lampshade that makes the wall look beautiful. Another simple but impressive product. [Read the rest of this entry...]
