Overtime Perks
With a new job, comes a new routine: free cabs home in the early hours, with the image above summing up how I feel at that moment pretty well.
Elecom mice
If you are looking for an interesting new computer mouse, Elecom really do provide some interesting shapes! I recently ordered the mouse above, sold on the new form, the placement of the sensor (between your thumb and index finger, like a pen), and the sensor resolution. After using it for a while, I am returning...

Just passed the 10k mark of followers on thefancy.com . If you haven’t checked it out already, do so! It’s a great resource, and in my opinion, better than the competition.

Lindberg
10 years on now and not one fault. Flawless design from Lindberg Eyewear, and great life long customer service; highly recommended. One tip, don’t let anyone from Specsavers handle them – a costly mistake.
CSM Kingscross
Out with the old, in with the… surprising amount of old, fortunately. Visiting the new building for the first time, hosting its first degree show, I was pleasantly surprised with the amount that had been salvaged from the old building on Southampton Row. Like most alumni, I was skeptical towards the new build. If...

Ron Gilad: Mirrors
A series of mirrors designed for Flos, presented at Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan during the 2010 fair. “The Untitled pieces in the Mirrors collection are the imaginary space between reality and its reflection. The city views embedded in the least visible layer of the mirror remain hidden when the lights are turned off,...

Ron Gilad: La Linea
La Linea was showcased at the Flos presentation in Superstudio Più during Milan design week 2010. “The form of the light draws from its name which translates to ‘the line’ in italian. A single tubular piece of aluminium has been curved to mimic the outline of a sconce or candelabra, minimizing its form but still emitting quite...
