buh bye!

For the next five-ish weeks I will be taking on Hong Kong, China and Japan!

As much as I love blogging with all you fine people, I will be too busy eating noodles to post anything up =D

So I want to take this opportunity to thank all my gorgeous friends who have supported me in starting this little project up by encouraging me and sending me links. You are all stunning and my life wouldnt be complete without you.

Have a Merry Christmas, a brilliant New Years and I will see you all again in January.

Lots of love, karmun

Emily Pilloton: Teaching design for change

Designer Emily Pilloton moved to rural Bertie County, in North Carolina, to engage in a bold experiment of design-led community transformation. She's teaching a design-build class called Studio H that engages high schoolers' minds and bodies while bringing smart design and new opportunities to the poorest county in the state.

Stuhlhockerbank by Fehling & Peiz GbR

Stuhlhockerbank is a range of seating for public areas. I like these because its quite playful the way that they arrange the seats and how they merge together to form a bench.
