TSAI RESIDENCE
HHF Architects, in collaboration with Ai Weiwei, designed the Tsai Residence for two young art collectors.
The design reflects their request for a simple and abstract looking piece, almost without scale sitting on top of the site, which is located two hours upstate from New York City.
The whole outside of the house is wrapped with corrugated metal panels. Inside, the living room focuses on the different light conditions needed for an existing?and future art collection, while the great view into the nearby countryside is present?without being dominant.

Papier Bags by Saskia Diez
This collection of bags, called Papier (= paper), was actually designed by Stefan Diez for Saskia Diez, his wife who designs really nice jewelery. They are made from the same material, Tyvek®, as his other bags A1 & A2. It is a synthetic paper made from PE which is extremely tearproof, lightweight, waterproof and recyclable. Like most bags, they become nice after some wear and tear.

Possible PSP Redesign?
"There's a new rumor floating around about an upcoming PSP redesign. It predicts a complete aesthetic redesign, including a sliding screen, but no new hardware inside.
So you'll have the same internal architecture as the current models, but the form factor will be more cellphone-like with the inclusion of a sliding screen."

Puma By Mihara MY-41
Here comes another sneaker from the Puma by Mihara Spring 2009 Collection. The Japanese designer has always something special in mind and the MY-41 comes with a very interesting design on the heel and especially the sole, with layers seeming to go into each other. We like the colorway and especially the matching laces. Otherwise its really a matter of style, as we are sure it is not for everyone. Via Kenlu.

Neighborhood Black Pencil Set
An interesting release from the Neighborhood camp as we see them include a pencil set in their collection. A sense of irony in this product based on the notion that pencil and even pen use is largely dead with the pencils featured in an all black aesthetic. Something cool to mix things up from Neighborhood though, but hard to justify the re-seller price of ¥2,625 JPY (approximately $27 USD) which can be seen over at Cliffedge.
