A very talented local designer, Ko Sing, has created a series of M.A.D Santa Postcards for Christmas! The postcards are very creative and humorous and definitely brings a twist to the ordinary Christmas look! There are 8 different postcards in a set. Come and get’em fast!

A little bit about Ko Sing…

Ko Sing is currently an Illustrator and a Graphic Designer. He graduated from the “Caritas Bianchi College of Careers” and “BTEC Higher National” with a Diploma in Graphic Design. In 2007, he was the runner up for Hong Kong Designers Association Design Student of the Year. In 2011, he won “The 3rd Young Writer’s Debut Competition” by Sun Hung Kai Properties and Joint Publishing (H.K.), and published his first comic book “Fu Cheung Jok Lok”.

Now, that’s talent!

So if you’re thinking there’s a crazy story to this, a big night out, a drunken rage or something like that, then you are very very wrong.

No this wasn’t the result of any of the above, simply enough it happened to me by just falling onto the floor from a cushion on the couch. Basically a 30 – 40cm drop and voila! Cracked screen!

So guys, dont take it for granted. If you don’t want this happening to your phone, I suggest you come through to Konzepp (“insert shameless plug”) and pick yourself up a brand new phone case! Something I will definitely be doing.

We are very happy to inform you that MYKITA has won the Good Design Award 2011 for the MINT Collection in the field of product design. The Good Design Award Japan was first introduced in 1957, out of the belief that design was essential in breaking out of the cycle of poverty in Japan. Since then, the Good Design Award has been given to outstanding designs in the pursuit of prosperous lives and industrial development.

MYKITA’s MINT Collection is the first product line that translates the aesthetic spirit of East Asian cultures into MYKITA’s flat-metal concept. The models reinterpret popular designs from the 20th century and transfers them into the present. The MINT COLLECTION is characterised by dynamic contours and bold colours – A new, contemporary look that caters to the requirements of the modern urbanite.

We had a great time at the third installment of the Organik Soul parties with High Tech Orchestra playing awesome beats throughout the evening.

It was a great turn out and Konzepp would like to say thanks to everyone who came to support.

Cant wait for number 4!

The black notebook series creatively turns tools of violence into tools to spark ideas.

The designer’s message is to express your point through words and sketches, not through force.
Each notebook has it’s own distinct characteristics separating it from the other, loading ammunition for ideas. The 3D Grenade covered book’s first page displays an image of a digital “01″, or “1 second”. Reminding us that time is ticking, and to use it efficiently.

Conversation from SouZouCreations.

What inspired you to make these rings?

They are the combination of my love of food (who doesn’t love food?), my love of making things and my love of unique rings! Plastic food is really popular here in Japan so when I first saw these tiny little food replicas that only the Japanese could do so well, I had an “ah-ha!” moment and combining these ideas just came to me.

How do you make these amazing creations?

It’s a Labour of Love believe me! I start by looking at the pieces I have in front me…the wood that I painted, the dishes, and the various pieces of miniature plastic food, and then I start putting them together to see what works. So, for example, if I’m making one of my ice cream or mousse rings, after filling the … Read More »

More than 5000ft above sea level, on the main mountain range of Malaysia, is one of the most fertile agricultural spots in the country: Cameron Highlands.

Nicknamed ‘Malaysia’s Green Bowl’, the highlands possess all the right attributes of prime cropland – moderate temperatures, high altitude, abundant rainfall, long hours of sunshine and well-drained soil.

These features were not lost on J.A. Russell, an established businessman who owned substantial tin and rubber investments in Malaya during the early 1900s. A man of keen business acumen, J.A. noticed that the demand for high quality tea remained high even during slumps.

So in 1929, J.A. established Boh Tea Garden, the country’s first highland tea garden in Cameron Highlands. Today, BOH Plantations owns two more tea gardens in Cameron Highlands: Fairlie and Sungei Palas.

senz° was born out of pure frustration with traditional umbrellas. You’re probably very familiar with all of the well known umbrella struggles yourself: Umbrellas go inside-out, break, poke you in the eye, limit your visibility, don’t protect your back, etc. Today, some 3400 years after its invention in Egypt, the umbrellas is basically regarded as a necessary evil that everybody all over the world dislikes.

The story of senz° goes back to the fall of 2004, when a young and naïve Industrial Design Engineering student, Gerwin Hoogendoorn, experienced one week in which three of his umbrellas broke down. Being sick and tired of the massive amount of crappy umbrellas, he decided to devote his graduation project to designing the ultimate umbrella: One design that resolves all of those nasty umbrella frustrations.

The concept of the first ZIIIRO Watch is a clock face without hands or markings, but a constantly changing pattern of rings indicating the passing of time. The main theme is minimalism, so there are no distracting elements in the design, and after a short time you will acquire a feel for reading the time.

If you want an uncommon and beautiful clock on your wrist, this is the watch for you! This watch concept has been featured on many websites such as Engadget and Yanko Design. Since then (March 2010), ZIIIRO has become a brand with the goal of making unique and stylish wrist watches.

Up in the Air Somewhere is Chicago-based artist and designer Susan Dwyer. Three years after graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she focused in sculpture, Dwyer began creating a line of ceramic and papier-mâché vessels inspired by the clean, minimal lines found in industrial architecture. The silos, warehouses and watertowers that dot the Chicago landscape are transformed into elegant vases, votives and planters. Because they are individually hand-built without the use of molds, every vessel has its own organic, one-of-a-kind character.

It depends how they are eaten. They tend to be licked until they are of a suitable size to suck. I couldn’t possibly give a “safe” age for children.
