Last weekend we decided to take a drive to Kalk Bay near Cape Point. We took a stroll down Main Road popping in at all the interesting little Antique Shops when suddenly I found it …
... the most exquisite tea set, hand-painted from China! Who would have thought a teaset can make me this happy :)))
Look at this fun optician and optometrist Selima’s decor…
They’ve hung various portraits in elaborate frames – with each having a real pair of glasses stuck to the persons face.
A really delightfully quirky place with the merchandise to match. :)
I wonder what lies behind this magic door?
Maybe this is where Joseph lives with his amazing technicolour dream coat?
Thursday lunchtime we visited a store in Boston called Vessel. They showcase products they themselves develop as well as the work of other like-minded companies. The main aim of these products are to be beautiful yet functional in day to day life. There are some amazing things in this store… mmmh… if only I had more space in my suitcase.
I did however buy myself some Algea – the guys responsible for this innovative product are the Bouroullec brothers, Ronan & Erwin.
These brothers also collaborate on projects with well known manufacturers such as Vitra and the Kreo Gallery in Paris.
I can’t wait to get home to assemble it!
Besides coming to NYC to visit one of my siblings, the other reason was to take a trip up to Boston to finally meet the team from SNIFLABS, whom I’ve been fortunate to work with over the past two years through virtual collaboration.
Our first project together was to develop their logo & corporate identity which led to a multitude of other web & print based projects.
What a great space – I hope Cuie can also have such a cool office in the near future. :)
