Paco
PACO - is white 3m x 3m x 3m cube designed by Jo Nagasaka & Sschemata Architecture Office Ltd. It offers the minimum equipment to live on such a small space; it has a hammock, a table, a toilet, and a shower. Everything you'll need to live.
Wouldnt it be awesome to see a Paco community somewhere? Like a huge warehouse full of these things? Im not sure about the cost of this, being that the site is in Japanese, but i'm curious to know.

Henrique Oliveira
Henrique Oliveira was born in Ourinhos, Brazil in 1973 and hails from the university of São Paulo, Brazil. Oliveira uses wood collected from the streets of São Paulo where he lives, to create huge installations which he refers to as “tridimensionals”.
The thin sections of wood are obtained from old fencing and boarding known as “tapumes”, are bent and curved into these enormous structures that seem to spill off the gallery walls.
Henrique Oliveira’s first solo exhibition in the United States, will open at Rice art gallery, Houston, Texas on march 26, 2009.

Chanel Perspex Briefcase
Chanel's new "Perspex" Briefcase serves as a reminder of why Karl Lagerfeld is one of the greatest designers of all time. The Perspex is a new take on the classic briefcase reinterpreted for the "modern working women" so to speak. Chanel somehow seems to keep their aesthetic strong time and time again while still remaining creative and innovative. The bag was seen last week at Chanel's ready to wear show. No word on availability or if this will even go into production.

Rules of Style | Rick Owens
RIck Owens recently sat down with Mens.Style for this month's "Rules of Style". This is a top 10 list of sorts pertaining to Owen's outlook on style. Nothing really new here except for something I hadn't previous known, that Owens hates accesories.
“I hate rings and bracelets on men. I’m not a fan of man bags, or girl bags either—or even sunglasses. I don’t like fussy accessories. Isn’t it more chic to be free? Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.”
Who would have thought?? You can read the entire list here.
