Yes, more packaging, it never lets me down. Though, the issue here is not just bad packaging, it’s more about bad choice of packaging for the situation. I won’t even get into the sustainability issues

Most of you would have come across this situation, where a “careless” driver has inconsiderately parked his vehicle across two spaces. And I am sure many of you would have let fly a few expletives at the

I have always noticed the red fire hydrant valves outside buildings but never thought too much about their design. Not being an architect myself, I always just assumed that is the way they had to be… Red,

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 6, oh so cool, oh so sexy. With its slick design, cool kickstand, and Alcantara keyboard, who needs a Lambo right? But don’t let the slickness fool you, even a TRILLION dollar company

On my recent trip to Europe I was fortunate enough to stay in 22 different lodgings, from hotels to hostels. We stayed in a different town every single night. 22 lodgings = 22 different bathrooms… what

I can't with the graphic design.

Shared bicycles are great. I use them all the time. I use them to travel short distances, like from my place to the Louvre, and then over the river Seine to the Eiffel Tower. Nobody honks at me to get

Lamps, there are thousands of them. Whatever tickles your fancy. Sizes, shapes, colours, materials, price, you name it, there’s a variation out there for you. But even with all the differences between

Firefighters are a fit bunch, and thank god for that. Besides being able to carry your limp body out of a blazing building, they need to be able to open these hydrants, with these tiny handles. Geez, I

If you’ve grown up using chopsticks, you probably don’t think twice about them. If you haven’t, and you try them, they make no sense. But it’s all about perspective isn’t it. My view through my culture,

Over the years there have been many iterations of these standing passenger handles. Each time trying to get it right. The ones shown above were the last iteration which are currently on Sydney’s newest
