Cheeming Boey – Styrofoam Cup Art


Incredible illustrations by California based artist Cheeming Boey, using styrofoam cups as his canvas. Employing one of our favourite pens – Sharpie Marker, he’s developed his own style, which is influenced by pointillism and Japanese woodcuts. All of his designs are one of a kind, and no two are alike.
I've posted a few of my favourite cups from Boey’s collection. There are more on his website!
Thanks to PSFK for the info!

ASICS 2010 SS Collection Doubleclutch




A few years ago, ASICS introduced a series of models together with NEXTide with usability and design in mind to help those with disabilities enjoy the same everyday experience as the more able-bodied population. Models such as the Procourt AR and Run & Gun AR sprouted up thanks to the initiative with the Doubleclutch carrying on the legacy and representing the latest offering. Three colors each feature a double zippered back which allow you to use one hand to put on and take the shoes off. Available now at GETTRY.

These sneakers are really nice. I love the concept and the colours! Thanks to Hypebeast for the info and photos!

Hermès Voyage


This is a new unisex fragrance by Hermès. The new perfume made by the luxury brand, is unisexual and will perfectly feature image of both men and women. The upcoming scent, based on musky and woody notes, developed by the major “nose” of Hermès, Jean-Claude Ellena.

He has created other fragrances Kelly Caleche, A Garden on the Nile or Terre d’Hermes. The new scent will be available in 35 ml and 100 ml in all Hermes boutiques in April.

The bottle was designed by Philippe Mouquet. Here’s what the press release says about the artist and his creation: “He would combine self-assurance with vivacity. This would be to the classic perfume bottle what the pocket magnifying glass was to the solid sort that lives in a desk, what a wristwatch is to a clock. It would open out at the touch of a finger, like pushing a door. It would turn on itself without going round. Not content with being merely mobile, it would be the incarnation of movement itself. Its material and colour would be aluminium, a material that reflects all others. Its contours would be those of a stirrup. Its axis a saddle tack. It would blend seamlessly with the hand. Would not be thrown away but kept. Refilled. And filled again. It would go away and stay on. Living a long time.”

Milk Carton Postcards Project



A series of die-cut postcards from Malaysia-based design firm, Grass Studio, for Dasein Academy of Art that fold into miniature milk cartons.

As Dasein’s marketing communication demands more from postcard designs but production budget keep shrinking, they decided to recycle this die cut block & extend the idea into other low budget greeting occasions. Turns out, the project became a collection series that is highly sought after.
