KNOCK IT OFF! Things We Like That Are Inspired By Things We Like.

I KNOW ROLEX IS MAAAD!!!




This is A TOY WATCH. No seriously, that's the name of this brand. The company, TOY WATCH manufactures Rolex inspired watches for a fraction of the price. Think SWATCH. This is not really a knock-off. It is a quality plastic watch that is as stylish as it is affordable. They range from $125 -$1500.

In the fall of 2006, Milan-based designer and wristwatch aficionado Marco Mavilla designed the first TOYWATCH. A lightweight, oversized plastic watch, inspired by high design timepieces, TOYWATCH is unexpected, arresting and irreverent. Under the direction of fine-watch collector and TOYWATCH USA CEO, Randy Gordon, TOYWATCH was brought to the USA in the summer of 2006. An anti-luxury statement in a luxury obsessed culture, TOYWATCH has become the "it" wristwatch and the "must-have" item among style influentials and tastemakers. The brand ignited a firestorm in the fashion, design and accessories industries and has been heralded as a sensation by the press. Fall of 2007 will welcome the first ever, freestanding TOYWATCH store - if you find yourself at Via Montenapoleone in Milan, come check out ToyWatch.

TOYWATCH watches are available at www.toywatchusa.com, and in more than 300 fine stores, including Barney's, Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdales.

LIVING JUST ENOUGH FOR THE CITY:Trends In Urban Dwellings




The Convertible Bed Just Got An Upgrade.
BED-UP!




A retractable bed, a mobile mezzanine a bed arranged with the
Practical ceiling and design, it offers a true space saving in space
and a maximum of comfort.

Modern living and urban dwelling is no longer subject to crammed quarters. Our major cities globally are offering smaller spaces for larger prices. Not to be discouraged, those of us that have live/work loft/apts and love city living have to be inventive to maximize our spaces.

One French design company has a great invention as they have upgraded the convertible bed & made is very chic and stylish. It's called BED-UP!





Bedup is adapted to your height under ceiling. Out of standard of 2m20
with 2m80, technically possible until 3m40. Rangé with the ceiling,
bedup occupies only 35 cm, which makes under vis-a-vis with 2m15 for a
height under ceiling (HSP) of 2m50.

This I'm sure will solve many of our space issues. They are gonna make a killing in Japan! This is Brilliant!. But the great thing is that it is ultra modern. It turns a studio Apt into a creative workspace in the day. And a modern comfortable living space at night.

This product is being produced in France at the moment by a firm called DECADRAGES.
In a few words DECADRAGES is a workshop of invention and
creation in the area of furnishing, the design and the installation
of space. We conceptualize pieces of furniture for the private
sector as well as for the professionals.

Check out the website(It's in French) But you can get the idea.

Zeppelins seem to be the latest craze these days as another design company has come up with a flying blimp that houses a hotel with luxury suites for 60. Called the Manned Cloud, this concept by French designer Jean Marie Massaud, whose company, Massaud Studio partnered ONERA, France’s National Aerospace Research Center, for this project. Its creator claims that the giant airship is capable of flying at 280 km/h, which means that its passengers would be able to circle the Earth in 3 days.

Incredible!
