Ambush x Liquor, Woman & Tears - L AMBSH POW Chain - DOPE!


One of Japan’s prominent pop rappers, Verbal (M Flo and Teriyaki Boyz) produces jewellry and accessories through his own brand Ambush. The POW design is one of the stand out pieces from Ambush and a silver piece have been made in collaboration with Tokyo’s street fashion boutique, Liquor, Woman & Tears. Limited to only 20 pieces, this necklace is made completely out of silver with POW head carved out in precision. On the back of the head piece is dual logos of Ambush and Liquor, Woman & Tears stamped to signify the collaboration. To make adjustments easier the necklace can be easily removed from the head piece so it can be swapped over onto another chain. This piece is carefully crafted in Japan.

Sushi-plate. Got yours?

During a visit to Japan I had the opportunity to immerse deeper into this special dining culture.
The design of the glass Sushi plate I developed is purposefully kept simple for easy usage. The downward curved edges of the plate assure stability. There is also a compartment in the tray meant to hold the soy sauce. Being made of glass, the tray is dishwasher safe and easy to clean.

Designer: Heike Scharm (Germany)
Manufacturer: (Germany)
Inspired By: travelling to Japan
Material: glass
Colours: frosted glass
Dimension: 260x140x25mm
Price: 30,00 EUR

Otake House by Suppose Design Office - OMG!

Via: todayandtomorrow

This solar design house in Otake, Japan, was designed by Suppose Design Office. It’s amazing how they can open up the living room, it becomes one space with the terrace. I’m not really sure about the exhibitionistic bathroom though.

Black Wii -

I know I posted this before, but the prices, and date are confirmed below.

A new Wii launchs in Japan on August 1. The same as the old Wii, but it's finished in black instead of white. See the image of the packaging, it looks more cool. If you are fortunately in the Jappan, you can check out from Amazon Japan for JPY 23,750.

Black Nintendo Wii, red DSi this summer - DOPE!


It's not Colorware, the black Wii and red DSi are coming straight out of Nintendo Japan. The black Wii (or "KURO Wii" to be precise) is particularly interesting as it's been rumored for over two years now. Ok, it's not that interesting but it sure is edgy... right? Oh nevermind. Expect the ¥25,000 black Wii with like-colored Wiimote, nunchuck, and classic controller to hit Japan on August 1st and the ¥18,900 red DSi on July 11th. Red DSi after the break.

Cyberdyne said to be mass producing $4,200 HAL robotic suit


Years after the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) suit first debuted, it seems that Cyberdyne's pride and joy is about to get really real. According to a report over at HPlus Magazine, the company is linking up with Daiwa House in order to "begin mass production" of the cybernetic bodysuit. You already know what it does -- inflates the ego, boosts your strength and scores you loads of nerd dates -- but here's the crucial part: $4,200. Of course, there's no hard date on when the first of the 400 annual units produced will be made available, but we'd probably get up with someone about a pre-order if you're serious about going bionic.

[Thanks, Phil]
