A Little Awkward but Worth It

A bit of procrastination in the right places led me to something pretty interesting. I dunno if i'd like it if i were on the other end of these things but i wouldn't mind being the person who designed it.

This is the Diesel Denim Gallery in Aoyama, Japan. This place was built as Diesels signature store as well as a space for art installations and exhibitions for talented upcoming artists throughout the year.

This year, Makoto Tanijiri and Masaaki Takahashi have created a forest art installation for Diesel's clothing line. This has been named "Nature Factory"

Makoto Tanijiri: Principle of Suppose Design Office has design over 60 residential spaces. Also works with commercial and exhibition spaces.

Masaaki Takahashi: Independant writer and editor, specializes in various fields of design.
Looks pretty cool but i would never walk in a store like this expecting to buy anything at all. Its a lil intimidating and i feel like i could get lost in it. The idea was for it to look like a forest and i guess it succeeded because i wouldn't venture in a forest without my compass or else i probably wouldn't come back out, at least not for a few days.


This has to be one of the most borderline products for the world right now. All this sensitivity towards violence at the moment and somebody decides to come up with this thing. I would've love to be the one getting all the complaints from this one because i bet that there will also be tons of people buying this too so those complaints with just strengthen my bond with this product.

This is the Persuader Bag
This is designed by James Piatt constructed by lasercut leather with absolutely no stitching involved. Features a cellphone compartment as the clip.

I can't help but laugh a little thinking about all the reactions this would get out of people.
