The second I looked at it I felt like someone had twisted by brain with a corkscrew. As the chandelier spun slowly in air, my heart jumped for joy. My psyche was pushed, teetering at the edge of the deep end. The source of my confusion, a stuffed toy chandelier: Dolls Chandelier. Yes, it's simple. Things are as they seem: a chandelier and stuffed toys. Who on earth thought of this combination? And then there's the visual impact of this strange assortment of discombobulated objects. You begin to wonder if this is its natural form, or? Who, how and with what is this being made? Various wild ideas pop to mind, only to fade away and be replace by others... My curiosity must be satisfied. Down the rabbit hole we go. /tokyo_en/product/tk001303 /tokyo_en/product/tk001303 02 03 chiba Wed, 22 Oct 2008 09:04:38 +0900 Simply put, that's it. Out of a piece of steel the size of one tatami mat, two chairs of different sizes are born. Cut out, bend, assemble, done! However, this explanation does no justice to how fun it actually is! I was most attracted by the systematic beauty of a sheet of metal which could be taken apart, then put together like a huge plastic model. I'm sure a certain type of person reading this has already been sucked in by this description alone. I really came to understand the beauty of this creation when I tried going through the pain of putting it together. What a mistake! It had me hook, line and sinker. /tokyo_en/product/tk000100 /tokyo_en/product/tk000100 02 yanagisawa Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:31:34 +0900 Mr. Shibata Akimasa, a circular lunch box craftsman, decide to make one specially for his daughter Tsukushi. However, there was a bit of a problem. Children develop quickly, so of course over time the amount of food they consume increases. Typically that's a happy process to watch unfold, but a bit of a problem when making lunch boxes. The right size will be the wrong size in a year, and a large lunch box looks odd in the hands of a six year old. Of course we want the lunch box used for a long time... /tokyo_en/product/tk001802 /tokyo_en/product/tk001802 01 mikayama Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:43:53 +0900 I have been friends with jewelry designer Ms. Minewaki Mikiko (Mine) for over five years. This is a colorful, popish necklace of hers. Well, first take a careful look. Particularly guys might notice there's something familiar about the color and shape of the pieces? Yes! These are mobile suits from the first Gundam: the hero's suit and the ever popular Zaku!! /tokyo_en/product/tk004204 /tokyo_en/product/tk004204 02 yamada Mon, 05 May 2008 00:55:14 +0900 An unsharpened simple appearance, hinting to a nostalgic Showa era. A toy that will tug at your heart strings so strong it hurts. There's a long list of work for this monkey. There is even a special name for him: "Monsieur Saruzaki", Special Task Force The cute appearance is just the beginning... He'll be useful to you at home or the office! I look forward to seeing this spectacle as soon as possible! /tokyo_en/product/tk003800 /tokyo_en/product/tk003800 02 yanagisawa Sun, 04 May 2008 01:12:00 +0900 Our first meeting was this photo. "Awesome!!" This idea grabbed my heart with a vengeance. Do you get it? The bag? What could it be??? Is probably what you're thinking... I'm also using this bag; it is true invention. It is an extremely simple idea, but has the power to completely change your perspective. And it's fun. You have no idea what I'm talking about do you. If you're curious, please keep reading. I'm sure you'll become captive. /tokyo_en/product/tk002703 /tokyo_en/product/tk002703 01 chiba Sat, 03 May 2008 02:21:52 +0900 At a glance, an overwhelming sense of force and presence hits you. The jacket, from top to bottom, is made of... buttons! From the day I saw this jacket the fashion brand which created it, ANREALAGE, has taken my heart. There are 5000 buttons on the Prayer Jacket! 20,000 on the gold Full Metal Jacket!! /tokyo_en/product/tk002304 /tokyo_en/product/tk002304 03 yamada Fri, 02 May 2008 03:25:26 +0900
