On ne doutait plus du potentiel inspirationnel des Studio Ghibli, c’est donc sans surprise que l’on découvre une nouvelle victime de l’univers puissant qui émane de leur illustrateur phare Hayao Miyazaki. Cette fois-ci, c’est Jordan Bolton dont l’art consiste à reproduire des grands classiques du 7ème art à travers leurs symbols matériels et accessoires, le tout en pâte à modeler, qui rend hommage au studio japonais. A chaque chef d’oeuvre de Miyazaki ses petits accessoires à découvrir dans cette série.
You know how when Tony Stark steps into the exoskeleton suit, he becomes Iron Man? Think of the Boost as pretty much the same sort of suit for your Macbook.
Apple’s products continue to discard features in the name of sleekness and innovation. The MacBook has seen a similar fate. With just one USB type C port on the entire machine (and no glowing logo), the new MacBook feels sleek, but also weak. Boost, like its name says, is a razor thin case that gives the Macbook a much needed adrenaline shot, making it powerful in ways beyond Apple’s imagination. The case comes in two halves that cover the upper and lower parts of the MacBook. The upper half of the case comes in a decorative decal that not just ups your mac’s style quotient, it also prevents your laptop’s delicate Aluminum body from scratching or denting.
The lower half of the case however, steals the show. This absolute tech marvel turns your MacBook into nothing short of a performance laptop. With six different ports/readers and not one, but TWO 3300 mAh battery cleverly hidden inside its sleek design, the Boost has the body of a laptop case, but the personality of a multi-port dongle and a power bank.
At lesser than an inch in thickness, the lower half of the Boost case manages to include two USB ports (2.0 and 3.0), a USB type C port, a Mini HDMI port (for external screens or projectors), and two card readers (one for MicroSD and one for regular SD). It even packs 6600 mAh of battery power, capable of juicing your MacBook up to 62%, or even acting as a power bank for your phone/tablet. There’s even a power indicator on the case, that’ll tell you how much battery your Boost case has.
Where Apple fails, dongles take over. But where dongles fall short, you have the Booster. Most dongles just connect to the Type C port, and therefore stand the risk of breaking or damaging, because they’re holding onto the laptop at just one pivotal point. The Boost does it differently by marrying dongle and case, to create something that holds your laptop from all sides, not just protecting it, but empowering it too… while keeping your MacBook incredibly thin. Shut the haters and the naysayers up with the Boost laptop power-case! Now available with a crystal clear upper cover too!

The interior and exterior revamp of Cari de Madame by Taipei Base Design Center is as simplistic as this curry cafe’s menu! The project originally took inspiration from the Chinese word for “diner” … “can-ting”. “Can” references the meal, which is in front of “ting”, the eating place. This informed the open layout and high visibility between chef’s quarters and customer.
Contrasting design details in yellow and black define the food preparation area and dining area with room for around 30. A clever addition (notice above the bar) are built-in holders for indicator cards that visitors can hand over to indicate their food choices. It’s even simple to order!
Julien Douvier sublime l’art de la contemplation. Ses films transforment les plus simples éléments de la nature en chefs-d’oeuvre en dévoilant la beauté du détail et de la spontanéité. À travers des cadres hypnotiques, il livre une vision toute en poésie du monde.
Pour KENZO Parfums, Julien Douvier a capté le pouvoir lumineux du coquelicot dans un film entièrement réalisé à partir de cinemagraphs, « Step Into The Light ». Le cinemagraph permet de rendre statique une partie de l’image et de prolonger le mouvement d’autres éléments en créant une atmosphère ensorcelante.
« Le concept était de pouvoir créer des images indépendantes les unes des autres ayant leur propre force et présence, vivant grâce à un principe de boucle infinie qui leur permet de n’avoir ni début ni fin. » dévoile le réalisateur.
La délicatesse du photographe épouse magnifiquement la senteur unique conçue par Patrick Guedj, directeur artistique de KENZO Parfums. Écrivain, photographe et voyageur, Patrick Guedj sait dénicher le détail précieux et le valoriser. La collaboration avec Julien Douvier est donc riche de liens et de similitudes.
Le film « Step into the Light » matérialise la sensation de légèreté et donne un visage à la luminosité.
« La lumière s’incarne principalement elle-même : cette lumière éblouissante mais non moins intrigante et mystérieuse vient interpeller cette femme et l’attirer vers elle. Il s’agit en quelque sorte d’un dialogue muet, une danse, entre la lumière et cette femme. Finalement, arrive le plan où l’ombre de cette femme semble cueillir un coquelicot, mais seule l’ombre de ce coquelicot se détache. C’est peut-être lui la source de la lumière ! » explique Julien Douvier.
Pour citer les parfumeurs de Eau de Lumière,Alberto Morillas & Amandine Clerc-Marie, «La lumière est comme le coquelicot : elle n’a pas d’odeur mais elle évoque une sensation belle et forte; une émotion et une magie.»
« Tout comme pour cette lumière, on ne sait pas d’où vient cette femme, pourquoi elle se trouve là, qu’est ce qui la motive à avancer vers cette source. Tout ce qu’on remarque c’est qu’ils sont comme attirés l’un par l’autre et qu’ils parviennent à se réunir. Finalement, c’est peut-être elle la source de cette lumière qui s’attire elle-même au fur et à mesure que les boucles se répètent ! »
KENZO Parfums invente l’odeur de la lumière et continue d’affirmer un esprit libre et décalé, avec un jus qui ne ressemble à aucun autre.

With the familiar Comme des Garçons Play love-heart symbol on the opposite side to the classic round Chuck Taylor All Star patch, these Converse sneakers are a delightful mixture of the ’70s and 2017. The shape hasn’t changed, but the fabric is covered……

The right water temperature is largely subjective depending on the individual, but it’s imperative that parents get it just right when it comes time to give baby a bath. The Tubcare thermometer takes the guesswork out of baby’s bathtime temperature by displaying not only the exact degree, but also indicating whether its too cold, hot or just right with colored LED indicators. Red means the temperature is too high, blue means it’s too cold, and green means it’s good to go! Waterproof and durable, little ones will also love to play with it in the water!

“There are forty little concave holes on the surface for gripping purpose,” says Gary.
“The temperature induction only takes seconds to send the temperature to the top of the screen.”
