Dots in Vintage Fashion

Dots

If you follow this blog maybe you’ve noticed that Mimi Berlin is very fond of dots. The other day we found 2 pretty images of our favorite print from the sixties, just that.
Have a nice day!

Yes, that’s a young Cheryl Tiegs in de middle on the first pic!

Loudspeaker by HAY for Sonos

Loudspeaker

Yes, a Loudspeaker, not Loudspeakers, plural, as we used too name these things (if we wanted to listen to music in ‘stereo’. But that’s a different and historical story). Back to the topic of this post. The ‘One Smart Speaker’ is designed by the Danish HAY company for Sonos, in a limited edition in cute colors. We’ll categorize this product as Friendly Design. Same as everything else we’ve seen at HAY during the Milan Designweek 2018.

Mr Kabel created a device to cover the neon tubes with colorful, transparent garlands. When the Office Party is over you can just slide the garlands back! A nifty light design, Auch Haben!
