Getting the idea from observing people perform a flow of actions when they dress up in luxury. Studio Juju came up with The Luxury Towers, a set of very elegance jewelry box for these people. As the wearer goes back and forth between choosing and matching her accessories with her dresses, storing, selecting and preparing become a personal and quiet ritual to each individual. Studio Juju created pure and bold silhouettes with solid glass blocks, concealing the opulence of embroidery and soft leather within. Each luxury object is given its exclusive space in individual cases, crafted to fit its volume and shape. The long table allows the different blocks to be displayed and this ritual becomes fluid and light.

The Luxury Towers won a Merit Awards at Saporiti Design Award 2009.

Round Pepper Grinder by Bodum

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 12:01 AM PDT

Cooking doesn't get any easier than this. The multi-coloured Round Pepper Grinder, designed by Bodum, seems to work by sheer intuition. Its powerful ceramic gear goes into action as soon as the grinder is tilted towards the foods that need to be peppered up. The grinder senses its position and starts and stops working according to its angle. It features an attractive, slip-safe rubber finish. And, conveniently enough, it can be used for salt and spices as well.

May Your Imagination Fly With Wing Tattoos

in Wing Tattoos

If you make the big decision to get a tattoo, your next step is to determine the design you want to have inked into your skin. This is not something to decide lightly. The reason is that you are likely to be stuck with your tattoo for the rest of your life. But a lot of people facing this choice opted for wing tattoos.

Wing tattoos make lots of different options available to you. So pay attention to the following ideas to see what kind of wings you might prefer to have on yourself.

Angel Wings: One thing to do is to have wings tattooed on your shoulders or back to make it look like you have angel wings. These types of tattoos obviously carry a religious significance or symbolism.

Demon Wings: Some people prefer the kinds of wings tattooed onto their shoulders or backs that resemble demon wings. These kings of tattoos also carry a religious significance or symbolism.

Fairy Wings: These types of wings come from fantasy art. The tattoos that appear on shoulders and back are like those associated with fairies. Women seem to like these types of tattoos better than men.

Butterfly Wings: These tattoos are patterned after the most beautiful insects in the whole wide world: butterflies. These types of tattoos inked into shoulders and backs are also favored by women.

Regardless of the specific design, these types of tattoos tend to be rather large. And they show a rather complex design as well. If you opt for butterfly wings, for example, you are going to use quite a bit of different colors. So be prepared to pay the price for this kind of tattoo. And depending on the size and how intricate you want your wing tattoo, you should also be prepared for a number of sessions before the job can be finished.

If you choose not to spend that much time and money, you can always opt for some smaller tattoos that represent wings. Instead of butterfly wings, you can opt for a small butterfly tattooed onto some part of your body. Instead of getting angel wings, you can actually get a small angel, and so on.

So either you get wing tattoos that make it look like you yourself have wings, or you can get some tattoo that features wings. In either case, be sure you are going to be at peace with living with your tattoo for the rest of your life. And don't forget the time and the cost as your dual investments in getting your tattoo.
