The stainless steel chair is designed with layers of steel reflecting the textures of the individual parts of an upholstered chair.I don’t know what it meant by that actually… but I do know the different layers and detailed cuts that make up this chair makes it amazingly beautiful.

I brought my mum to the Singapore Garden Festival 2 days ago… It was breathe taking… covering 2 floors in the suntec convention centre, there were garden designs from all over the world to compete for the best garden award, Singapore orchids exhibits and hundreds of plant stalls hawking their wares…

Then I discovered… Bamboo Charcoal. Called Takesumi or Chikutan in Japanese, bamboo charcoal burnt at high temperatures exhibits properties vastly different from the bamboo plant, including a high density and porous structure.

The many cavities of bamboo charcoal can attach different substances to their walls, and then release them later. For example, they can absorb moisture from humid air, and then release it during dry conditions. This makes it an excellent humidity regulator. It also has high mineral content such as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron. Bamboo charcoal has other benefits, too: it absorbs unpleasant room odours and harmful substances, generates negative ions that will put people in a better frame of mind, and emits far-infrared that helps to improve blood circulation.Also known as “Black Diamond”, bamboo charcoal products are well received in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Over the years, many uses have been created for household to bedding and personal care.

I bought 2 chunky ones for SGD15.20 (I think I paid a bomb but I am happy with it) and they are now protecting me from the harmful rays of my 32″ screen infront of me. Click the link to see the other uses.

Everyone is born with it. A desire to be near the ones we care about most. And we find ways to remember them when they’re away. A lock of hair. Letters. An old photo. And now there’s Breath Capture™. Capture the breath of a loved one or friend and keep them close. Forever. Eeeewww…. try capturing your breathe after having a lamb shank… the pendant does come with free engraving, and you can even make it into a cross shape so the bad breathe can be spiritual too…
