Non-plastic Plastic Pot

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 04:49 AM PDT

Packit Potz is an attempt to do away with the plastic pots that most green-thumbed folks resort to these days. This flat pack version is more sustainable and is designed boost the growth of the plants through natural means. After its done living like a pot, it doubles up a micro greenhouse and an insect and slug repellent, which hopefully will increase the yield of crops or lifespan of plants. It's made from Low Opacity Polypropylene and apparently production and transportation costs are minimal.

Quick facts from the designer:

- A distinctive range of flat pack plant pots.
- Easy to store and considerably less space is required for transportation.
- Durable and safe Polypropylene material that can in no way contaminate the contents.
- No glues or harmful chemicals required.
- Simple processes for manufacture and easily scaled to match plant sizes.
- Encouraged for use as a micro greenhouse and active slug guard, when plants are grounded.
- Easy to wipe clean for re-use.
- Made from recyclable materials
- Can also be used indoors thanks to the potz simple clean aesthetics.
- Visible roots so it is easier to tell when the plant needs to be transferred from potz to garden.

Bombay Sapphire Jewel Glass

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 12:01 AM PDT

It’s cold gin time again. And this time, you know it’s for real. William f Boujon has for you exactly what your distinguished hand desires for this exquisite moment. A glass, a cocktail, a fancy jewel. These are the words of Boujon’s Pampille Glass, a conceptual glass made for the discerning eyes of Bombay Sapphire. It’s not yet reached the production phase, and may never reach your lips unless your lips are let loose below. Alcohol posting a plus.

It seems a bit unreasonable until you consider the human. The human stands on two legs. The human cannot stand up vertical without the brain of the human. The same is true of this glass. It can sit down just fine, but without the hand of its master.

Lay it flat, or pick it up, allow the blue glass to carry your hand.

Don’t drink too quickly. Be fabulous.

Clutter-Free Lappie Haven

Posted: 08 Jun 2009 07:39 AM PDT

For centuries my pal LT has been advocating minimalist style for computer tables and I second his choice; Happy Birthday LT, here's the Mother of ALL minimalist Tables: Bluelounge's StudioDesk. Why? Coz it has some really spectacular features, lemme elucidate: ALL the peripherals and excess cables get tucked neatly under the sliding desktop surface. This storage compartment can be easily accessed from the top. The long slot across the desktop allows the necessary peripheral & power cables to enter/exit at any point; Clutter-free lappie tables!

In the storage compartment you can stow: Power strips, AC adapters, USB hubs, external hard drives, routers, chargers, and even a MacMini server and more n more cables! This means only a single cable exits the desk to the power socket. There's a faux leather mat covering the sliding portion of the desktop and guess what; it's included!

For convenience, the desk comes in a comfy knock down condition and can be easily assembled.
What I really dig is the solid mahogany legs, and soothing White laminate surface.
