Celsius X VI II has today unveiled another part of their teaser campaign regarding a yet to be shown cell phone, we are promised a very steampunk looking device, with a price tag quite usual for high level jewelry market and thus not so common for cell phones. We however have two secrets to tell you, first - a steampunk styled and engineered cell phone can be made and designed with the street price as low as a thousand euro, or even less, it is just that none has jumped on that train yet, second one is more exiting – the so called Nokia Erdos, canceled and almost forgotten 8800 line phone from 2009 is to be reincarnated in a new model this year, featuring S60 and few more similarities with Erdos we will let you know about soon.

UPD: Finally we saw some photos of the phone… one word – uninspiring.

Two flash pieces you may have missed…

Torikago (on the right) & Walk Cursor (on the left)

Sometimes there are things that escape the radar, while remaining extremely interesting end refreshing and we have two of such. One comes from the creator of a world renowned web campaign for Weave Toshi - Qubibi called Torikago, it is an interactive journey / surrealistic experience, very artistic and unfortunately quite short. Second one – Walk Cursor is this year’s winner of 1 Click Award – a yearly competition built around the concept to surprise and touch visitors using only mouse click (and sometimes movement) as a medium. Both are must see...

Radwimps - Setsuna Rensa

Marriage of a beautiful music and stunning, abstract video is the reason we are featuring this video today. The clip is not exactly new, and definitely the video quality could be at least three times better…

Designer of the week - Mayumi Torio.

Today we start a new column and while it is called designer of the week, it is more of a discovery of a week in a sense, and actually it is not going to be a weekly thing at all. Confused? We are confused too.

Any　way meet Mayumi Torio – a Tokyo based fashion designer, whose wool flared skirt from 2009-10 A/W collection completely carried us away. We first of all adore the minimalism and simplicity of almost architectural forms found in many of her works, and yet the skirt reminds us of a spaceship, now spaceship it may not be, but we love it. Who would wonder that this item is sold out.

A lighted up love story...
