PRETTY THINGS: caffeinated

This week is my first week of a month of studying and taking exams.  Needless to say: I’m craving caffeïne!

1.  Espresso machine in concrete, by Shmuel Linski (source)

2. Although probably intended for alcoholic beverages, wouldn’t your daily caffeïne fix taste de-licious when sipping from this beautiful flask?  (buy it here)

3.  Espresso machine in wood, by Øystein Husby, Audun Grimstad, Åsne Kydland and Mariko Kurioka Rohde.  They wanted to give the espresso machine that typical ‘scandinavian design’ look, I think they succeeded!  (source)

4. Cute eco cup in porcelain, with silicone lid and sleeve (to keep your coffee-craving hands from burning).  (Buy it here.)

5.  Vintage coffee pots, like this one.  (Buy it here.)

THINGS THAT MAKE ME SMILE

1.  The Burning House: a project where people are asked to photograph the things they would take with them if there house was on fire.

2.  Heart-warming graffiti by Stephen Powers.  (more here)

3.  Moleskine Recipe Journal.  More info (inculding lovely video) here.

4.  Tea sub.  Buy it here.

5.  Instant comfort pocket boxes by Kim’s little monsters.  Such a cute idea.  Buy one here.

MUSEUM M

Another museum!  It seems like I spend all of my freetime in museums, buth I have to admit, all of these museums I have visited for the architecture rather than their collection, and most of these visits were for one of my courses!  That aside, I really enjoy these visits.  Anyway, this is Museum M, Leuven’s pride.

3.  It’s no secret that I have a thing for birds, so I love love love this Pigeon Light by Ed Carpenter. One day this will be mine!  Buy it here.

4.  BOSKKE Sky Planter by Patrick Morris.  I blogged about this before after seeing it at Interieur 2010, but back then I didn’t know who the designer was.  Mystery solved!  Buy it here.

5.  Antlers by Alexander Taylor.  So clever!  Buy it here.

6.  Alarm dock for your iPhone, by Jonas Damon.  If I would have an iPhone, this would already be on my nightstand.  Buy it here.(via swissmiss)

5. Sardine Paper Clips.  Too cute.  Find them here.

MUSEUM AAN DE STROOM

Last weekend, the ‘Museum Aan de Stroom’ (or simply the MAS), was opened in Antwerp with the expected festivities.  I didn’t make it to the opening, but a few weeks ago, we already payed a visit to the MAS for one of our courses.  Here are a few pictures!
