The Wallet

Yc, "Think twice. A simple twist is how creativity begins."


The Wallet Of The Future Is The Wallet Of The Past

Astro Studios spent a year rethinking the next generation of wallet--one that’s beyond the credit card, but still holds an ID, cash, business card, and, sure, any last looming credit cards in your pocket, too. What they came up with is , a multi-tiered wallet hand-stitched from a single piece of leather. It’s thin in the pocket but heirloom-quality in the hand; the vegetable tanned leather options invoke a grandfather-approved design that certainly brings to mind the mantra, “what’s old is new again,” and Astro Studios is the first to admit it.

Global Flagship Store / Ginza, Tokyo
UNIQLO has opened global flagship stores in Europe and the United States, and has now opened a new store in Ginza, Tokyo. The twelve-story building with a full height glass façade serves as a showcase of the UNIQLO brand, and its atrium-like first and second floor creates a voluminous yet controlled space. The vibrant power of UNIQLO is fully incorporated into the design with symbolic features of the global flagship stores featured prominently such as revolving mannequins in the display windows, digital signage utilizing slat LED louvers, and displays where visitors can see the massive selection of merchandise. Each floor has its distinct style contrasting with the integrated horizontal flow that goes through the twelve floors. Heightened density and a sense of openness coexist in the space, offering visitors a chance to enjoy the UNIQLO world to the fullest. Opening its first global flagship store in 2006, the UNIQLO global flagship stores have never stopped evolving.

Ion is the first of the Ziiiro watches to use an archetypal time-telling movement. The face features two classic hands on a brushed stainless steel face – stark simplicity in comparison to the earlier Celeste, Gravity and Aurora models that use colour and rotating disks to tell the time.
The minimal watch is compatible with the removable faces and interchangeable straps of the rest of the Ziiiro collection. Ion itself comes with a plastic bracelet strap in black, white or clear, similar to the strap of the new Proton design.
PRICE £90.00 (UK and EU)
£75.00 ex VAT (rest of the world)
Specifications
Case: matt without PVD. Case back: polished stainless steel. Strap: plastic. Dial: brushed polished silver/PVD black. Hands: chrome and sprayed finish. Case width: 38mm. Case thickness: 7.5mm. Plastic strap: 43mm Lens: hardened mineral crystal. Water resistance: 3ATM. Warranty: 12 months.

MUJIRUSHIRYOHIN TERRACE MALL SHONAN

A place where most designer love to hang out. Muji Muji Muji. Lovely. However, the Muji that we have in Pavilion, M'sia is not that tempting to me. Maybe it coz by some regulation that restricted a lot of item can't be sold here? But, I'm still happy that we have one now.
