Evisu Menswear Spring 2009 Collection

















The Evisu Deluxe Spring 2009 collection follows the story of the first voyage of a Japanese sailing ship to America. The ship, Kanrin Maru, was built by the Dutch and sailed from the bay of Yedo (Tokyo) to San Francisco under the instruction of Lieutenant John Mercer Brooke of the United States Navy in the winter of 1860. The Evisu Deluxe collection draws from the historical references of the time and combines the best of Japanese and American tailoring for Spring 2009. One of my favorite Spring 2009 Collections!!!

Picture Perfect!

Abisko Washbasin by Eumar






Breathtakingly brilliant in glacial white, the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar, is a totally new concept for our modern lifestyle. In these environmentally conscious times the cast mineral marble washbasin brings us back to nature. Inspired by the waterfalls of the Swedish National Park Abisko, the sink is unfettered by pipes. Nor does it allow water to accumulate in a big tub, something designers Johan Kauppi and Lars Sundström deem unnecessary. Rather, one should be aware of just how much water one is using, and catch it with careful consideration. An extraordinary, sculptural piece, the Abisko washbasin captures the freshness of mountain streams as water cascades down the length of the sink to slip away down a discreet floor-level grill. OMG!!! I Want One Now!!!

Modern Outdoor Chair Disk by Karim Rashid


Karim Rashid introduces a new concept in the design of outdoor furniture with this ultra modern outdoor chair, the Disk Chair. Perfectly suitable for being placed in the backyard or poolside, the chair will provide a comfortable rest as well as outstanding looks. The shape is innovative by itself, giving the impression that the chair is floating above the ground. No need for magic here though, because the material used for this special design is fiberglass. This also allows a number of color variations as the Disk chair comes in white, yellow or black. The middle of the disk is slightly lower than the rest, as if influenced by gravitation, to provide the comfy seating space. Time spent will be pure pleasure thanks to a conveniently placed cushion in polyurethane foam and polyester fiber.
