    More black and white

    Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

    Today in one grocery shop I spotted another product line that used black and white to differentiate itself from others. These cans of beans, tomateos etc. were colored only with black and white.

    Doors with poetry

    Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

    In Finland we have a famous and “branded” poem writer, Tommy Taberman (who is also a member of our parlament). He is famous for his love poetry- and nowadays his poems are used for various products: wine glasses, sheets and even advent calender! From the housing fair I spotted a door with a poem of Tommy Taberman (manufactured by Kaskipuu). These are now for sale here in Finland.

    This fabulous Ball Chair was spotted for a lobby of Fujitsu, Helsinki. This chair has something extra in it: a computer installed in it. By pressing a button you can get a display in front of you whan you are sitting in the chair. The chair is designed by famous Finnish designer Eero Aarnio but the installation of computer is done afterwards.

    The chair appeared to be very comfortable and gave a little silent room for surfing…
