Fight the gum!

Posted in Cool, Spotted with tags , , on March 11, 2009 by traveller

Someone must be really concerned that the YBIA Office gets too dirty, because every couple of days we get a call by some cleaning company offering their services to us. But actually we know pretty good how to keep clean. So we’re not really interested in those calls …

… But yesterday everything changed! Nothing was the same anymore! The Gum Fighters called! And changed all our lives!!! Because we found this video! Have a look and let the Gum Fighters come into your life!

i thought at first this was an interesting little bit of stone water sculpture on the beach in yaletown. It reminds me of stonehenge, and shows that the beachfront had some design thought put into it. Tthen i found out that the structure out in the water to the left, is actually a giant floating laser pen, that moves with the currents and draws. its called ‘brush deluxe’ and its purpose is to invent a new language. zow

Beside the fact that Vancouver is not particularly known for it’s hot temperatures it still has one thing in common with Dubai: A beautiful seawall.  Could you tell the difference?

Hommage à Bern

Posted in Spotted with tags on June 19, 2008 by traveller

What could be a better proof of good interior decoration taste than a sofa with the melodic name “Bern”? Bern, a small but powerful city in Switzerland known for its covered arcades, cobbled streets and decorated facades. Furthermore, Cathedral, Clock Tower, Bear Pits, Houses of Parliament and more than 100 fountains make Bern a perfect place to live.

The chesterfield can’t substitute a trip to the Swiss Federal City – but if you choose your “Bern” sofa in a brown leather, you will get a fabulous piece of furniture whose colour is very alike the colour of fur of Berns heraldic animal.
