From Points to Lines to Form

*refer to post below for images*
Take a strip of paper and fold it into a busload of ideas! A cost-efficient and effective time-killer that led us to this series by turning a singular strip into 3-dimensional forms then topping it off with a gleamy Swarovski crystal that's sweeter than ice-cream! What a mouthful, then again, better to think twice when throwing those papers away eh?

1+1+1+1+1+




Calculate the surface area of each ring.

If you dont feel inclined to do so, congratulations! You are on the same page as us. Much as we hated the "algebraic, aliquot, analytic, arithmetical, bilinear, binary, calculable, centesimal, commensurable, computable, concentric, conjugate, decadic, decimal, denary, differential, divisible, duodecimal, exponential, factorial, figurate, fingerfull, fluxional, fractional, geodesic, hundredth, icosian, imaginary, impossible, incommensurable, incommensurate, integral, irrational, logarithmic, logometric, millesimal, more or less, more than one, negative, not alone, numerable, numeral, numerical, oblique, octifid, plural, positive, prime, proportional, quadragesimal, quadratic, quadrille, quantitative, radical, rational, real, reciprocal, sesquilateral, sexagenary, sexagesimal, statistical, surd, tabular, tenth, three-dimensional, tithe, transfinite, truncated, twelfth, two-dimensional, upwards of, variable, vicenary, vigesimal (-snipped from dictionary.com-)" aspects of our tender years in school, we maintain a sense of awe/frustration/intrigue/annoyance towards Mathematics. This new series from Centimeter Design, is a zany play on geometry: avid attention to shape and form, surface treatment and contrasts, in generating our signature of sophisticating absurdity. If anything, it has been a satisfying attempt at translating the imaginings of maths into a physical structure, albeit a really handy one.


You dont even have to believe a word we tell you; just wear this chunk of charms and ask your pals to calculate its surface area.

A day in June

June. Summer.
Most of us will be figuring out where to go for holidays or which sale to spend those $$ on, and we shall be incessantly draining brain juice to cook up new surprises. More on that later. (else it wouldn't be a surprise...)
Also, we'll like to dedicate a shoutout to Kathleen: Congratulations on your first grandson! Savour every moment of it!

Extolling the spirit of fun: Happy April Fools'!

How to wear a nail around your finger looking fashionably sound?
With a dash of ingenuity, a teaspoon of atrocity and a whole lot of heart,
Centimeter Design boldly presents you a concoction of absurdity on this particular April Fools' Day!



Disclaimer : This is not a joke.

Neoteric Orient

Neoteric Orient was really an excuse to put the striking combination of red and black together, and it eventually turns into a celebration of spring as we had fun stringing sterling silver and cotton.

Fabrications

We like to keep our hands busy on the porch and after fiddling with our tools for awhile, we present you the first of our handmade series.

* [ Fabrications is an idiosyncratic assemblage of materials, achieving an eclectic style. Great for you who enjoy the quirky kind of fun! ]
