Aquapets’ Questionable Design
Believe it or not, Aquapets are officially recommended for children ages 5 and up, even if they look more like sex toys. As Boing Boing noted, you must be blind not to notice the striking phallicity of these objects. I seriously wonder how such a product gets stamped for approval.
Light Reading by Sam Johnson
The Light Reading is designed by Sam Johnson. Books are an important part of most interiors and whilst adding interest and colour they do not bring light! The Light is made from a material called “Secret sign”. This is bent into the shape of a book or more specifically the dimensions of a good dictionary. Inside the book a low energy lamp is mounted providing a safe and low temperature light source. Once it is illuminated the light reveals its title, which is laser engraved on the inside.

Leocadia Jurado
Leocadia Jurado’s nickname could be “fairy fingers”. Educated in Plastic arts, former teacher of drawing and ceramic for children in Sevilla, this Spanish artist lives in Brussels since 17 years, where the passion for fashion led her to work as manager and visual merchandiser in various boutiques, notably Chine Collection. Given her eagerness for creation, she decides at the same time to go in for painting using a mixed technique based on the art of collage. Her talent will not remain unnoticed and she is asked to decorate with collage and graffiti works a clothing boutique in Sitges, Spain. After having designed several hats for a theater show “The wizard of Oz”, played in her native city, Leocadia starts to create a very unique and stylish collection of handbags made with crochet-work. Totally handmade, combination of pure geometric shapes and flaming colours, these handbags have a great success in Sitges.
