Multi-taskers!

Those tiny handcrafted silver beads from the hills deserve more attention then they're getting, so we decided to string them up in leather, making them more ubiquitous in the form of bracelet-necklace-belt. Yep, you can wear them three-ways!

Folded Friends from Centimeter Design!

Most of us first came into contact with origami while we were... okay then it's not so long ago. It is highly liberating as the hands form paper into planes, jumping frogs, hats, flowers, cash cheques and just about anything. (okay we made one of that up.) And it is just as intimate as it is liberating, you get to make whatever you desire (there's a book of erotic origami, whatever that means and not that we know what's between the covers tsk tsk~)

One aspect of our art is to conserve the sweeter parts of our what our little brains can recall, and with this instance, the paper is superseded by sterling silver. This is just the start of our conservation project, do keep a lookout for more to come in this series as we attempt to resolve our little fetish with paper/silver!

happy new year!

We're ushering in 2010 infront of the computer screen, wanting to show you a new collection in silver. Made by tribesmen and women from the hills of northern thailand, (they're the ones with lots of rings around their elongated necks that most of us get to see only on national geographic) and we thought it special to share a tiny bit of their extensive culture with you.

Best wishes, and see you next year.

hey that's Rudolph!

santa claus is coming to town, or is he? and when? we cant say for sure (though he might be more concerned with Copenhagen right now) but local malls have been readily assuring us he's on the way, somewhere.

while waiting, we've been soaked up in the seasonal spirit and put some pieces together. 7 days more till we find out where our jolly old Santa is (more specifically, what our presents would be!)

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells rock!...

Anniversary

It was quiet but we utterly enjoyed our thanksgiving dinner, and especially so as we blow the candle out for the porch's first birthday too. We offer our silent thanks to you who have been with us the entire year.

A sneak preview from Centimeter Design, and we hope to serve you better each time. Thanks, once again.

More postcards!

The latest offerings from our treasure chest of politically-incorrectness. Don't we just love this city? ^^

Christmas charms!

on this last friday the thirteenth of 2009, the porch is beginning to hear the rustles of Christmas! we want to kickstart the festive mood with charms that might, well, charm a smile out of you. ^^ (we especially love the reindeers!) we can't wait to smell christmas dinner already!

what's your sign?

Doodling is the one thing we're absolutely fond of, and it so happened that we're capable of transforming doodles into wearables too. Notwithstanding our addiction to Animal Planet, it was decided to create a chinese Zodiac series (of animals, what else!) that will be ubiquitous but still maintain a personal touch.

Too often we chuckle at our own creations, but this will probably tickle you too. Meh...^^

A time to remember

31st October is a day that children remember as fun. 31st October is also the start of a 3-day festival to remember loved ones who have passed on. Whereever they are, they will always be a part of us.

Happy trick-or-treating~

Beware of Fraud(s).

It has come to our attention that some of our inhouse design were being haggled elsewhere other than the porch. Much as we'd love more exposure, but we will have to concede that right now we are retailing them as LIMITED collection pieces only.

Please take note of the logo (above) that is laser-engraved onto all products under Centimeter Design. It is our assurance to you of the quality and care that we provide.
It is also a mark of the hours and effort we had poured into researching, designing and producing. Any lookalike found anywhere else is a design stolen from us.

We're deeply grateful to those of you who have been part of our little clique of Centimeter Design collectors, and we'll continue to design with heart and pride!
