Duravit Inipi Sauna

I love sauna, but finding the proper place to put one in one’s dwelling can be a challenge. Duravit solved this problem with the Inipi sauna, which can be installed in any room and combines sauna and shower into a single unit. I will definitely include one of these into our next housing project.

Zoho Artforms No. 1

I just came across the Zoho Artforms No. 1, a wonderful piece of craftmanship. It is made of bronze and stainless steel, measures 17 inches, weights 16 lbs, and has a total of 798 parts, of which 101 are found in each hand. Amazing!

Lost in Translation Again

When in Tokyo, I usually stay at the Sheraton Miyako, but I wanted to try the Park Hyatt Tokyo this time. I have a particular fondness for this property, for it’s where Sofia Coppola shot Lost in Translation (IMDB), one of my favorite movies. I had visited the place three years ago, and was really impressed by the stunning views you get from the New York Bar located on the 52nd floor. Right at this moment, it’s 2:25am, and much like Bill Murray, I cannot sleep. Perfect time for catching up on email…
