Paris Post-It Wars

Studiage Garudio // Hannah Havana

Garudio Studiage project: Flat Pets World Tour, for urban dwelling travellers who don't have space/time/money/commitment for pets made out of flesh and fur.

Project: The Royal Celebration Sensation. Can't afford the full whack china tea set like your nan would've bought?  Roll up for fun and cheap Royal Wedding memorabilia.

Hannah Havana, part of the Studiage Garudio collective, makes ordinary objects extraordinary.   So, if you're less Wills+Kate 4ever and more prone to multiple engagements a la Mossy (pre-Hince), this toilet lock engagement ring might be up your alley (might be, might not, might be, might not etc...).  A little diamond pops out when the lock switches to Engaged.   

Still on the fashion forward roller boot hunt ready for the new wave of roller discos?  Cue 'Heels on Wheels,' part of a very cheeky collection.  Need some LED panty liners... wow. Visit their website, you will spend a lot more time there than you probably have time for.

Human Hair Sunglasses

Azusa Murakami & Alexander Groves, graduates from the Royal College of Art, have together used human hair strands to create the frame of glasses.

With most of us thinking about sustainability, this creation is 100% biodegradable (just the frames), which leaves us not feeling so guilty when we're wearing our sunglasses.

The designs of the frames also stick to current fashion trends.

The ice cream industry is in meltdown on dry land with the number of vans falling from 20,000 to just 5,000 over the past 50 years.  A growing number of councils ban vans from housing estates, parks and outside schools because of concerns about noise pollution and childhood obesity.  Ice cream firms are also being hit hard by the rising cost of the ingredients milk and sugar, and record petrol prices.
