The Push and Store Cabinet is always full: usually filled with thin wooden beams, but sometimes with books or either items if you push them into the cabinet. It is entirely awesome, keeping changing its faces so that you’ll find new fun with the furniture. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Well almost nothing special, except for the imbalanced look. The main goal of the furniture is to offer its contents directly to the users without asking them to bend down.

So even without the help of a computer, we could always share the data with others if we’re using the ‘Phillu’ Mobile Storage Device. [Read the rest of this entry...]

At present, there’re three flavors, including Chocolate (120GB HD / 8GB flash), Strawberry (80GB HD / 4GB flash) and Vanilla (60GB HD / 2GB flash).
