There really is no need to buy a toothbrush that looks like it has undergone wind tunnel testing to ensure you keep your pearly whites gleaming brightly. Last time I checked with a dentist, go faster styling and a sleek form factor had no bearing on improved dental hygiene, which is what makes the zen-like, archetypal styling of this toothbrush from Acca Kappa such a refreshing alternative to the hyper-styled turbo-toothbrushes on sale nowadays. Furthermore it is made entirely of biodegradable materials like cellulose acetate so it helps to keep the environment clean and healthy as well as your mouth.

Having regretted just recently selling my old faithful Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera, I am finding myself drawn to FujiFilm’s announcement of their new GF670 Professional medium format folding camera.

This beautiful foldable camera features 6×6 and 6×7 dual-format shooting for use with 120 and 220 roll film and comes with Fujinon EBC 80 mm lens, coupled rangefinder, exposure compensator, and aperture-priority automatic and manual exposure modes.

I don’t class myself as much of a petrol-head so don’t go quoting brake horsepowers and trying to impress me with the fact that it is powered by a 3.4-liter V-8 engine and possesses a hybrid drive system, but I do know what I like and I am liking very much the sculptural lines of the 918 Spyder concept, recently unveiled by Porsche at the 2010 Geneva Autoshow.

Cute concept for this cafe and creative space in Fukuoka, Japan.

Cute irony in this minimal tattoo.

Via this isn’t happiness.

Loving the identity design by New Zealand based INHOUSE, for new London Roastery, Bar & Restaurant,  CARAVAN. Contemporary with a nod to the values of a hand-made artisan history.

The Vespa Seat, from Bel&Bel, is a swivel chair made from original pieces of the front part of the legendary Piaggio Scooter.

I want one..!

Love this photo. I know nothing about it or who shot it other than it appeared in an edition of Numero TOKYO. (I wish bloggers would credit their sources)

Found on the day after you die.

Fadeout-chair, by Nendo, has legs that seem to gently disappear, as though the chair stands in a pool of mist or fog.

The chair’s back and seat are wooden, but the legs are clear acrylic, specially painted by craftsmen so that the wood grain appears to gradually fade away.

Nice new site for London based graphic design agency, Socio Design, stuffed with good works.
