Swedese Swedish Furniture - Brasilia Coffee Table Review

On all the Product Design Awards received by Swedese, one of the most deserved for me goes to this uniquely shaped coffee table in birch, oak or walnut wood. The +1 Diploma 2002 goes to Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune for the Brasilia coffee table by Swedese. The architectural review Forum awards the Best Item during the Stockholm Furniture Fair. “The qualities of the Brasilia lie is its sculptural design, its harmonious volume and its game between the open and the closed" writes Björn Dahlström, Exclusive jury, in the Forum article.

Boccia Titanium, Gold and Brown Leather Bracelet

As a jewellery and great product design aficionado, I have been following Boccia Titanium for some years, I always like the designs but I must say that having seen this unique bracelet in a London shop recently, the new collection is also top notch quality, very German, and originality, the feel of this particular bracelet is amazing, great balance, and great colour combinations, brown leather, shiny titanium metal and delicate rose gold plating, it is really eye catching, the type of accessory who goes with everything, I could wear it with my suit to Ascot next summer (As if I am going…), to Wimbledon tournament (Better…) or with my rugged jeans and tee-shirt at favourite football team game, Arsenal (Definitely…). Very well done Boccia! (Boccia Titanium and Brown Leather Mens Bracelet with Rose Gold 0361-02)

Fashionably Rugged - Squadra Men's Necklace

Most men in Denver are the "outdoorsy" type. They wear shorts and a t-shirt as much as possible. They ride their mountain bikes everywhere. They like to go hiking. The list of outdoors activities is endless in Colorado.

But what isn't seen too often, yet very much exists, is a fashionable side to Denver. These same men have the ability to throw on a suit or wear a button-down and nice jeans for a night out.

And what better to accent the button-down and jeans look (my FAVORITE look btw) than this Mekchoudi Design Jewelry necklace. The brownish black steel covered with a polished stainless steel part is fashionable and unique. The black rope cord keeps the necklace rugged.

It's rugged chic. Does that exist? Why yes it does now...

Large Leather Jewellery Roll Case by Smythson

Find yourself wandering on the paths of luxurious adventure travel, every time you open this wonderful jewellery roll, smell the scents of exclusivity and refinement.

The crocodile-print leather finish is very delicate to the touch and means quality and robustness. The inside is lined in soft nubuck leather with 4 zipped pockets, ring and earring bands. It includes a beautiful briarwood clasp and comes in a tissue-lined Nile Blue gift box. The perfect gift this holiday season for the demanding and refined loved one. Make the recipient even happier by personalizing the case with lettering. (Smythson also offers in the same green leather Malachite collection: iPhone covers, wallets, handbags, purses, diaries and more practical accessories for men and women.)

Tri Ad - Stainless Steel and Black Enamel Bracelet

Ever see a piece of mens' jewelry and think "THAT would look great on me"? Well that's how I felt when I receive the Tri Ad bracelet in the mail. I was thinking about giving it to my boyfriend, but I really wanna keep it for myself.

It's modern and stylish, but it kinda has that nerd appeal for me. I'm a mathematician and scientist at heart. I love numbers... and the 3 dots on each link are speaking to me in a sort of morse code.

It's telling me to wear it. To know that the links are removable to fit smaller wrists, I am tempted to remove them to fit my wrist. Why not?

Well... I guess I should gift it to my boyfriend, since it's got a sex appeal that I think only a man could pull off.

Christopher Ward London - C8 Pilot Watch for Men

I read the goal of Christopher Ward London is to build "the cheapest most expensive watch in the world." A goal I believe they have done. I received the C8 pilot recently, and the all experience was great. The first noticeable point is the quality and presentation of the watch. It is packaged in a leather bound wooden case, with a certificate of authenticity (CW watches have a unique serial number), a polishing cloth and a letter personally addressed to the new owner and signed by Christopher Ward himself. The quality of the packaging exceeded expectations for a watch at this price.

The watch itself is designed in England by Christopher Ward, and is hand made in Switzerland, so a real “Swiss Made”. Being a British design, CW incorporates an homage to the WW2 Spitfire fighter on the case back and on the second hand, find the British wing insignia. (Inner red circle, surrounded by a blue circle)

The C8 Pilot's watch is a contemporary evocation of the original oversized pilot's watches manufactured by the like of IWC, Wempe and Langhe & Sohne during the Second World War.” The oversized 44mm outer-case to the soft iron anti-magnetic inner-case which surrounds its fine Swiss automatic movement shows that. It also has a 25 Jewel automatic movement, Incabloc anti-shock system, 38 hour power reserve, Super-luminova hands and indices, screw down back plate with a balance wheel viewing window tunnel, anti-reflective sapphire crystal dial, soft iron anti-magnetic inner case and a stitch and studded calf's leather strap with a butterfly opening deployment system
Great quality and value for money, you will impress anyone who knows about watches with the extensive list of technical specifications for a watch of this price, and you will impress great designs lovers with this true stylish piece of men’s accessory.

Iris Gooseneck L.E.D Desk Lamp by Adesso Home

The 80’s meet the 00’s with this noticeably designed LED desk lamp, the flower drop is the clear focus point with its smooth, almost mathematical line contrasting well with the sharp lines of the base accentuated by the double finish metal. I like the stylish toggle switch which has a hidden sensual connotation, every time a pleasure to light on.

One of my favorite points about Adesso is that they do not only think green, they do green, with industry leading LED lighting technology and designs, they are at the forefront of low energy consumption design and high style. (The same way they use materials such as rice-paper, woven fabric, glass, resin, renewable bamboo wood and cork for their home contemporary home accessories and reasonably priced furniture.)
