Rubiks Cube

For all the geeks! Rubiks Cube clock! Extending a classic puzzle toy to new heights. Top part swivel to view either temperature, time and date.

RIJADA rocks

RIJADA designs products and services for public and private spaces. In order to understand real users needs – they cooperate with designers, researchers and artists who have a wide range of experience and background in the design process.

They are versatile and multi-talented, having done multi-exhibits – interior designs – kidz toys.

Check out their new catalog. Nice products – nice staging.

Cookie Cutter

Sandy aka Cookie Cutter – is a pursuit to be everything but. She is a crafter from sunny Singapore. She handmakes plushies, totes, and paper goods. Handmade plush and lifestyle products. They are cute but in a quirky way. With elements of childlikeness and fantasy to the designs, they are a celebration of forgotten innocence and unrestrained imagination.

View her Fall catalogue or shop now.

Toy Stories

I got miniature little people on my mind today because I just ordered a bunch of them for our upcoming wedding party.

Liliput scenes will appear around our studio as well as incorporated in the jewel boxing design which will contain our video invite – voted to be done in a single take – so expect bloopers – and a few pre-demo songs as a gift to our guests.

If you wish to attempt one yourself, Preiser HO figures are the best and you can find a huge collection here.

_______

Presenting the hilarious Toy Stories by Aled Lewis available in either 12×12 or 24×24 gallery-quality giclée prints. Extended collection (some not available in print) here. Captions are just so it – locking the staged story as believable.

Enjoy!

Sticky Monster Lab

Cracking up for these toys designed by SML (Sticky Monster Lab). There is such vulnerability perceived, bit weird (well aren’t we all some days) and still lovable.

SML have created such a brand experience around these. The packaging and accompanying posters are gorgeous (as well the mini accessories)! Oh and their logo (play on word for Small Medium Large)?

_______

LOVE the new collection. These are cuties!

_______

Watch the unboxing videos. Nice idea!
