Masuto Humidifier
January 27th, 2010
Designed by Shin Okada, this humidifier is made of Hinoki (a rot-resistant wood from Japanese Cypress) that naturally draws water from it’s base and spreads moisture into the air. It’s a great low-fi solution to dry conditions, and certainly better looking than electric humidifiers (not to mention quieter).

Tap Water Bottles
November 30th, 2009
Toronto, I’m told, has a bit of reputation for high quality tap water, so it should come as no surprise that this amusing turn-of-phrase/eco-friendly business venture/all-around great idea originates in the Big Smoke. You may have seen these bottles around having recently been featured on packaging blog thedieline as well as a host of other design and lifestyle blogs. Order your bottle here or poke around the tap water website to learn more about why plastic water bottles are bad, bad, bad.

“Oogst 1000 Wonderland” by Tjep, a Dutch design firm
September 9th, 2009
Kind of like a factory farm for humans, I’ve seen similar things in video games, however imagine if this actually worked? This is a concept design for “a combination farm-restaurant-hotel-amusement park, designed to accommodate 1,000 visitors a day”. Thanks to Fast Company for the link.

Home Birth Is So Normal, It’s Used to Sell Mattresses…
April 25th, 2009
I love this tv commercial from Spain. I really wonder what would happen if it was translated into English and played on TV’s in Canada? What do you think? What kind of response would it get in Canada? or the US?
