BoKlok - IKEA is producing prefabricated housing? Bizarre.


"Developed in the UK by IKEA and Live Smart @ Home, BoKlok is a radical and innovative concept in housing.

We build to satisfy our customers' real needs and desires - a great and safe environment, roominess and access to green space.

Created through a fruitful collaboration between skilled architects who know how to create stylish, modern and comfortable homes, and IKEA designers who understand how people want to live.

Utilising modern methods of construction, our homes meet or exceed all Building Regulation Standards and are designed to be very energy efficient and environmentally sustainable."

The Eyeballing Game - I actually enjoyed this. I know it's a bit lame but I like to think I have good eyeballing skills. I did a few perfectly but MAN oh MAN was I way off on the triangle center...

The Napbook - a pillow laptop case. Dana should put this on her Christmas wish list.

"The Napbook is a laptopcase which also happens to be a comfortable cushion. It is designed for students and commercial people of 105 Reykjavík. Whether it be a class at LHÍ, a lengthy business meeting in Borgartún or just the odd journey home the Napbook should come in handy for the restless. It is sewn by a 105 Reykjavík local sewing room and it should be available at the Apple store around the corner."
