Luxury in True Sense : Eterne Bathtub by PearlThis short film has been a huge hit on video sharing sites on the internet and has even featured on American network news, and is a great example of viral marketing. Forty-one people gathered at a Bensons for Beds furniture warehouse in Tewkesbury, UK to break the mattress dominoes record. I can say that you can tell there’s a recession – no one’s buying new beds and the warehouse staff are bored, but at least they did something that got a lot of publicity. I’m curios if this move also increased their sales.
I’m sure that most of you know about the Michael Jackson death. For those of you who have lots of money to spend on your home decor … a 25-year-old portrait of Michael Jackson created by pop art pioneer Andy Warhol is set to be auctioned in New York this month.

This is probably the most elaborate 3D projection on architecture that I have ever seen. You don’t have to believe me, watch the video called“How it would be, if a house was dreaming” and say your opinion. The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself. This was produced by Urbanscreen – Art Direction : Danier Rossa

The Architectural Association School of Architecture has unveiled their 2009 summer pavilion, designed by third year Danecia Sibingo, its undulating form now sits outside the AA in London’s Bedford Square. This is the fourth year that the AA has challenged its students to create a temporary Summer Pavilion from sustainable timber. Driftwood was designed by concept designer Danecia Sibingo, a 3rd year student, and her team of Lyn Hayek, Yoojin Kim, Taeyoung Lee, Suram Choi, Kyungtae Jung, Jerome Tsui, Feras El Attai, Rama Nshiewat, Camille Steyaert, Hisashi Kato and Ryan Phanphensophon. Apparently it “provides a thoughtful, provoking reminder of the UK’s inextricable link to the sea – its undulating form created by the motion of the water, carried by waves and coming to rest in busy central London”. Driftwood will be displayed in Bedford Square until July 25, 2009. – Photos made by : Nathan Willock – Via – Londonist

Until now the only way to be noticed when something new appears on Freshome was the RSS subscription, but many don’t fully understand the concept of RSS (”Really Simple Syndication”) feeds, and for them today I’ve decided to introduce Feedburner’s Subscribe by Email option on RSS feeds. What’s that mean? It means that you can now subscribe to my blog using your email account rather than using RSS feeds and feed readers, if you so desire.
