Urushi Bamboo Spoons

vertebrae



據英國《環球郵報》10月1日報道,英國一位設計師日前創造了世界上第一個可以折疊的垂直浴室,它看起來就像一個從瑞士軍刀那裡獲得靈感而成的藝術裝置。
這個集成式衛浴被形象地稱作為“脊椎”(vertebrae),它將馬桶、水槽、浴缸和兩個淋浴器整合在一起,形成了一個8英尺(約2.4米)高的柱體。除了分別為大人和兒童准備的兩個淋浴器隻能旋轉180度以外,其余部分均可以旋轉360度。整個裝置的中軸是一根鐵柱,裡面囊括了所有的管道系統。當你需要使用哪個部分的時候,隻需將它輕輕推出來即可。
它的設計師保羅·赫能表示,他是充分考慮到小戶型公寓的需求才想出了這樣的創意。“我做了大量的研究后,意識到減小浴室空間已經是一種明顯的趨勢,特別是在公寓裡,”他說,“因此我創造了一個外觀很有趣但卻簡單實用的空間優化衛浴裝置,將浴室的一切設施摞到了一起。這種設計旨在利用垂直空間而不是地板上的平面空間。vertebrae組裝起來很快,也很易於維護,你隻需有一塊空間來放置它。”

Worn Again Virgin Atlantic Bags



Worn Again Virgin bags are constructed out of materials left over from the retrofitting of Virgin Atlantic planes - all of those seat covers and safety belts add up to a significant amount of material that usually goes to waste. The range will include the Ollie toiletry kit, the Lydia and Romero handbags and the Sherman messenger. Each bag is constructed by hand in Portugal using socially responsible labor. If you’re curious about a bag’s composition, just check its label for a complete list of materials used.

They are currently available through their website and in Terra Plana stores worldwide.
