Week-in-a-minute: Nice Bottle, Nice Eyes
by the editors / June 21, 2008


It's finally Summer up here, the season and the week begins in grand style with the International Garden Festival. Can't attend? Get the book. Then Sander Mulder's Halo did away with the light bulb, who needs one when you have a lit shade. Back to Summer. The Aquino House pool. We're there. Stepan Sarpaneva's Time Tramp Watch made us want to wear a watch on a chain. MoCo Mags points to Adbusters and designing objects that talk back with attitude. And introducing the Bisphenol-A-free KOR ONE Hydration Vessel. Nice bottle. Steampunk! And finally, cloning we can get into, 5.5's nice eyes.
