The Louis Vuitton hotel label postcards

Emblazoned on most luggage trunks at the turn of the 20th century up until the 1960s, hotel labels were the definitive marker of travel sophistication. Louis Vuitton’s grandson Gaston-Louis clearly had a severe case of wanderlust, collecting over 3,000 stickers before his death in 1970. Carefully hidden away in the House archives, his sizeable collection, whittled…

Review: Cool It (movie)

I saw Cool It at the Nouveau Cinema in Rosebank. 

I am generally sceptical about Global Warming doccies. I am a defeatist with regards to the planet, I think we are heading for disaster and we have no hope. We dont care enough and the people/countries/companies that matter truly dont give a damn.

El Burro's Summer Menu

There are only few spots I would consider eating at on a weekly basis and one such place is @_El_Burro. It’s a combination of Nic and Rene and their bevy of amazing staff, coupled my craving for flavourful, spicy food (like that of my people) that drew me back week after…

Creative Melting Clock

Inspired by the famous Dali painting “The Persistence of Memory” the Melting Clock was designed to be used on a shelf or hanging on your office desk. Although awkward, it is balanced as a common clock and its mechanisms work perfectly. Looking exactly like the soft melting pocket watch from well-known surrealist painting.…

Did You Know #17

Fact 1

No one has blue eyes!

As you look closely in the mirror trying to disprove this, physics explains how this is possible. Your eyes appear blue in the same way that the sky appears blue- scattered light. The iris, which is responsible for eye colour, has three layers. Each layer has different colour pigments such as yellow or brown which, when combined,…

Muse Room at ROOM

Muse Room presented by ROOM

An exhibition of work by Waynne Barker and Don Searll. This exhibit is just wonderful, The curators of the ROOM let us in after closing time to allow us to enjoy it. Gladly explaining how it worked and what the pieces represented.

3D art to me can be tacky, gimmicky and unrefined. Sure there was an element of that here, but still it was so great to see. The theme…
