Cloudscapes at the Venice Biennale

Molo Design’s range of softwalls is basically a portable wall, which allows you to create intimate spaces within a room. The free-standing flexible structure acts as a partition, which you can rearrange at ease as well as expand or contract to (almost) any possible size. Not only that, it’s also 100% recyclable and comes in a range of neutral colours, or translucent or with in-build LED lights.

I’m enjoying reading the insight and witticisms of the Indie Breakfast Club blog, which casts a wide net over entrepreneurship and what it means to be one and still have a conscience.
Three piece, cLOUDDEAD, who formed in Cincinnati at the tail-end of the last millenium, fuse traditional hip hop beats with indie, electronica and psy-rock overtones. Doesone and Why?’s layered, poetic vocals cover the personal, political and social elements of their lives; and, above all, their flatout rejection of traditional musical boundaries makes them a quirky and unique act.
I received a Kobe Beefcake t-shirt today and I’m already in meat-lover’s heaven. Who’d have thought all those funky shapes are actually cuts of meat? This new label from Kobe Japan is an insider’s (and meat-lover’s) treasure.
