time for a new laptop case? ipod case? blackberry, cellphone?...redmaloo looks for an idea behind each product, be it functional or emotional. they want to introduce a human touch and warmth to the functional world of electonic devices. and why not?

we'll be sad to see these go, but are sure they will find a good home. the gourmet collection reintroduces the disposable tin food container in fine porcelain as a way of addressing our perceptions of quality, value and high-end design. the entire collection is handmade by ms. barrezueta from her studio in brooklyn, ny.

thank you.

Thank you for celebrating our second event with us! Great music,
people, beer and design—not a bad way to spend a summer evening…

Of course the evening wouldn’t have happened without the brilliant minds of broken english, ko jubilo, the gucio girls and vancouver slop, thank you. If you missed out, we invite you to come by the shop to see what they’ve come up with and who they are in our city.

Special thanks goes to Devin, Jackie, Amy, Scott, Toolbox, Jonathan, Connie and Bob of Peroni for helping make the evening such a success.

funny when you go on a trip...everyone has a story to share or advice to give - whether good or bad. kind of like when you're pregnant - you become this beacon for total strangers to just come up and give any and all advice whether you want it or not. in both instances, i know they have your best interest in mind, but i say - take it all with a grain of salt because every experience will be your own. similar or not, it will never be the same as others. as my trip comes to a quick close, i'm definitely inspired by all i've seen and experienced. we're coming back with a few finds i hope to share with you over the next couple of months. in the meantime, here are a few snapshots (first japan then the philippines), i hope you enjoy!
