I think you all know by now, my mild obsession with LEGO…which I really believe could be THE.BEST.TOY.OF.ALL.TIME!
Lego finally opened its first retail store in NYC. It will definitely be a must stop by the next time I am in the big apple.

How incredible are these? Scott Campbell is a Brooklyn based Tattoo artist, who obviously has creative talents in other genres.

I have to admit, I love me some IKEA. They’re a rare combination of affordability and design. I love that they hire designers and give them credit for their work, I love that they’re not afraid to do limited edition items in a big way, I love that almost everything they do is so well thought of.
Take for example, my latest little purchase, the Celeber Soy Sauce Dispenser. Being of the Asian persuasion, I tend to use quite a bit of soy sauce in my every day life. Which also means that I am buying one of those big bottles. I’ve always found pouring just the right amount to be a pain in the butt, there’s always spillage and left over sauce on the side of the jar. Enter the Celeber, the design is clean and it pours just the beautifully. The best part? It was under $10.
Living in a city as multicultural as Toronto, one cannot help but always be caught up in World Cup fever. It’s great to see how a sporting event can also inspire great design such as these carved crayons by artist Diem Chau .
Chau was commissioned by agency Wieden & Kennedy to create these unique pieces for Nike’s World Cup press kit.
Pretty darn cool.
