Stussy x Wilson Brothers - Hextable
September 17th, 2007
The Wilson Brothers announced “Hextable” - a special product for Stussy. After the success of the limited edtition chairfix that the Wilson Brothers created for Stussy London a couple of years ago, they were now asked to work on a new product for Stussy Japan.
“Hextable” is an occasional table for the home, and is made from two identical components that once popped out of their packaging, fold and lock into place to create an incredibly light yet strong structure. “Hextable” is made from recycled cardboard and is fully recyclable. Because of its Honeycomb core “Hextable” weighs in at an incredible 1.2 kg which it a very sustainable product for logistics. The product also features an all-over repeat Stussy Pattern which was hands screen printed in London.The product is limited to Japan and London only (London Store Covent Garden) and went on sale this past weekend! A nice and innovative project once again by Stussy and the Wilson Brothers.

Jack PC
June 20th, 2007
U.K. firm Jade Integration has unveiled a computer so small, it fits into a wall socket and is powered via Ethernet. It can be hooked up to a standard monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and runs Windows CE, the stripped-down version of Windows often used in portable devices. Definitely an interesting alternative for people that do not want to have those big boxes standing around and only need some word processing and internet. Via Sci-Fi.

Original Fake Bean Chair
June 12th, 2007
It is great to see how Original Fake does not position itself as a toy brand, or as a clothing line, but really as a full lifestyle brand. Their offering has become so wide at this point that you can get a pretty complete clothing line from them, as well as Kaws designer toys, lots of accessories and also items to make your home look better. Last year they released a carpet for example.
This time we came across the Original Fake Bean Chair. Made from super soft durable, wipe clean nylon and featuring the Cat Teeth design by Kaws, the bean chair is definitely a nice addition to the collection. With a price point of around 250 USD the price is not too crazy in comparison to other Original Fake products. The Bean Chair is now available at Firmament. They also have a matching tote bag and lots of other new goodies by OF.
