3D Printed Jewelry by Hot Pop Factory
3D printing has taken design where we never thought it would go in recent years and it has boldly set up shop in the jewelry world. For companies like Toronto-based Hot Pop Factory, it makes the ability to produce affordable and unique jewelry a possibility, all from the comforts of their own home. Architecture school graduates Bi-Ying Miao and Matthew Compeau began their collaboration and Hot Pop Factory was born with its first collection, Stratigraphia.
Fresh From The Dairy: Artist-Designed Tote Bags
I'm pretty excited that Society6 has introduced tote bags to their product lineup! As someone who often finds themselves in a place with no reusable shopping bags, tote bags are the best solution for me. I just stash a few in my car so I'm always ready. Here are some of my faves:
split-T-ime Limited Edition 2012 Watch by Paul Kweton
Were you one of those people back in the 80s that rocked two or more Swatch watches on your wrist because you liked the look? I was! This spil-T-ime Limited Edition 2012 watch from American designer Paul Kweton made me think of that. The double watch faces split the time by separating the hour hand from the minute hand. It kind of makes you look at time in a whole new way, doesn't it?
Modern Cremation Urns by Capsule Urn
Death. As much as we hate talking about it, we know it's inevitable. And if you've ever had to plan a service/funeral/memorial for anyone you know the choices are somewhat, well, same-y. The cremation choices are even fewer for both people and pets. You have your standard metal or porcelain jars and your wood boxes, but what if those just aren't your taste? Luckily modern design has hit the urn market and given us new options with companies like Capsule Urn.
The Rickshaw Gets Redesigned by Kenneth Cobonpue
Designer Kenneth Cobonpue has reimagined the everyday urban car alternative - the rickshaw. Using his signature woven design and materials, he's conceptualized a much more beautiful version of what millions of people all over the world call their primary means of transportation.
LED Eyelashes by Soomi Park
Although still just a concept, the LED Eyelash project by Soomi Park explores the desire that women have for large eyes. According to the designer, few Asian women are born with naturally large eyes, and most women have a desire for big eyes because they equate it with beauty.
