Wieden + Kennedy, Shanghai
One of the largest independently-owned agencies in the world, W+K is best known for its corporate work for Nike, including coming up with the ubiquitous tagline, ‘Just Do It’. Monday Flying takes a look at Wieden and Kennedy’s Shanghai office: modern, forward-thinking, impressive – just like the work the advertising agency is doing.
Bras Basah MRT Station
Singapore’s mass rapid transport system has enjoyed a functional existence thus far, with less focus on aesthetics. With the city’s new circle line, we found a shift away from the old functionality stance in the new Bras Basah station. Monday Flying takes a look at the beautiful architecture, designed by Singapore-based WOHA.
LG Optimus Launch with Lee Min Ho
Over the weekend, LG Optimus had its regional launch with Korean actor Lee Min Ho as its ambassador and special guest. Held at Marina Bay Sands, the launch included a media session as well as a meet-and-greet session with fans. Monday Flying was there to cover the event.
The Fish House
The Fish House, designed by Guz Architects, has a layout which is hardly seen in land-scarce Singapore. While most Singaporeans dwell in apartments, The Fish House manages to exude tropical chic with unobstructed views of the sea.
Marina Bay Sands
The Marina Bay Sands is part of Singapore’s effort to push itself as a casino destination. For the first time, it is opening its doors to visitors to visit the ‘Sands Skypark’, a 380m long roof-top deck which spans across the building’s three skyscraper architecture. Monday Flying shares a look at the impressive waterfront architecture.
Hullett House
Situated in Hong Kong, Hullett House is a heritage boutique hotel. The luxurious boutique hotel is housed in the former marine police headquarters on Canton Road. The colonial building’s beautiful and historical architecture showcases Hong Kong’s East-meets-West culture.
Carhartt Portable iPhone Charger
There are a tonne of iPhone gadgets in the market but the Monday Flying team can’t seem to get Carhartt’s iPhone charger out of their heads. This lithium-ion charger helps keep your iPhone topped up on the go – the juxtapose of the iPhone’s clean, minimalist body with Carhartt’s raw, manual feel adds a brilliance to your possessions which other portable chargers will fail to produce.
G.O.D.’s Kowloon Walled City Installation
The spirit of cities reside in the buildings it is made of. Founder of Hong Kong’s Goods of Desire, also known collectively as G.O.D., Douglas Young, researched on the history of the area and created an installation in memory of Kowloon’s infamous Walled City.
An Interview with kichn
Tucked away in a small corner of Albert Court, kichn is a diner with interesting concepts. It runs next door to a design studio and is just minutes away from an arts school. Apart from having an interesting menu, the story behind its inception is also worth reading about. Stephie speaks to Sean Khoo, the man behind kichn.
Havaianas TEAMS Collection
Feeling the World Cup fever? An interesting way to support your favourite FIFA team is to buy the Havaianas Teams collection. Each pair of flip flops have their own story to tell. As a die-hard soccer fan, you get to stand apart from all of those who are watching the soccer matches with you.
Seoul International Design Competition 2010
We’ve caught wind of an international design competition which you may be interested to participate. Hosted in Korea, the Seoul International Design Competition 2010 focuses on design as a means to the betterment of life for everyone – hence the competition subject: ‘Design For All’.
Hakusan Megane
When it comes to personal style in Japan, there is very little exposure on the quality eyewear available in the Land of the Rising Sun. This month, we feature Hakusan Megane, an eyewear house known for its impeccable service and maker of the famous ‘John Lennon’ glasses.
Chen Karlsson
Chen Karlsson is a design agency founded by a Scandinavian couple, Tina and Johan Karlsson, and a Taiwanese couple Chen Hung-Ming and his wife Chen-Yen. It’s certainly an eye-catching partnership: Monday Flying takes a look at the exceptional homeware creations produced by this cross-continental partnership.
Gifts from Apple for Geek Dads
It’s Father’s Day this Sunday. On June 20, Daddies around the world will rub their hands together and wonder what they are getting from their family members. We want to make it worthwhile for them, so we’ve worked with Apple to put together this guide on Tech Gifts for Geek Dads. Get your wallets ready.
Someecards
When it comes to e-cards, what used to be old and boring gets a huge revamp with wit and dry humour. Doing what Threadless did to revamp the age-old practice of buying boring T-shirts online, Someecards has been a success with an interesting niche of people looking for something different to siphon their attention away from work.
