I’m always blown away by people who can see worth in an item that 99% of people would think is simple trash. Katie Thompson is one of these visionaries.
She takes arbitrary items like old suitcases, buckets, milk pales and fire extinguisher cases and turns them into unique pieces of furniture. Each one of these “recreated” pieces have so much personality and simplefunk, that their true wonder and ingenuity is unmistakable.
Yes sir, I do believe that Katie has really come up with something truly special here.
The first design that I saw of hers was her, now famous, suitcase chairs. While inside your ‘Better Taste Alarm’ may start firing saying, “common common”. I feel that these are design that grow on you veeeery quickly! I can just picture her suitcase chairs in little funky coffee shops, or in a cosy corner reading spot in a library. Each seat is unique and fit into its own special environment.
A few days ago I wrote a post about the new all terrain athletic shoes the VibramFiveFinger Sprint.
Since then I have done quite a bit of digging around and looking at prices, as well as a review or two.
So far all signs point to the Sprints being a great buy. However, you are going to have to have the final say on whether or not this is the shoe for you.
First off I had a bit of feedback from a girl named Rebecca who posted a comment on the previous blog.
This is what she had to say: “They make you feel as though you are running barefoot but without the worry of getting hurt by things on the ground! I wear them when running around the park on the grass, hiking and even to the beach for surfing! They are an all rounder!”
So without doubt we have some very positive feedback from an actual consumer of the Vibram FiveFinger Sprint. However, can one positive comment be regarded as a general census? No way, no how!
Next up I did a search on Google for anything related to Vibram FiveFinger Sprint, in order to get an idea of what the net junkies were saying.
Ok, so here is how it’s going to work, first I will give you the positive and then the negative.
