Notice: Away from 21-25 September

*coming soon from centimeter design

We will be running away from the porch from 21-25 September. Catcha all soon on the 26th of September '09!

I was here too!

For some peculiar reason, we are able to switch our brains into speed camera mode, thus developing a particularly nasty habit of capturing even nastier details of our environment, followed by an extremely "meaningful discussion" of how things could've been worse.

When we are done with that sort of policing, we're getting pretty adept at catching the idiosyncrasies of the city of Bangkok and beyond, and we will like to share them with everyone from everywhere else through this new set of postcards.

It's not all so particularly bad after all!

Sawatdii!

would you like to upsize?

Accessories are meant to bring out your best traits and if you are big on personality, ply on the volume!

(skipping the technicalities) we have some special pieces of silver [in the form of earrings and bangles] that are hollowed out, so that additional volume of style doesn't necessarily translate into sagging earlobes!

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.

Autumn Almost

Autumn, tucked between its more potent siblings, feisty Summer and formidable Winter, peeks out ever so benignly and shyly. You can almost hear him through the rustling leaves and feel his chilly touch, that it's almost lamentable. Almost, an expression reeking of regrets and veering towards the romantic, and indubitably its doppelganger.

Take a breather and stroll through an idyllic series.

We simply cannot explain our fascination with turquoise.

One fine day, we chanced upon some African turquoise; with that mesmerizing and beckoning hues of blue, we just cant help ourselves. That marvellous colour anwsers to red, green and blue, and for the heck of it, we threw in some pink to give it a cheer.

Just the stones and silver combi makes one feel closer to the sea already. Ahh.... that cool breeze...

where to go....

If you can afford it, get out of Bangkok and you might find unbelievable landscapes, peculiar customs, and thankfully, less noise. [Otherwise come check out our ethnic series of bracelets and necklace and convince your pals you snagged it from some exotic tribe...]

A little ode to rings...

We love rings.

Its totally hassle-free. Doesnt even have to match your suit. Just go along with the mood and attitude.

What's swankier than the sculpture wrapped around your finger?

(erm, we do have earrings which are actually sculptures-in-space, but you get what we mean...)

These are some of our favourite rings:

Clean lineworks, minimal adornment, and each given their respective surface treatment to accentuate the formal qualities.

In other words, we love them for their looks. There, we've said it. Shallow as we may be, here's one more making it to our top list! Swallow this!

things you see on the streets!

our doodlers present their postcard series 2, of food you should try and not try (especially shark fin soup!) if you are ever in Krungthep, or also known as City of Angels!*

*not that nicolas cage city of angels!

Attack of the silver blobs!

We just cant string enough of those turquoise chips onto these irregular little blobs of silver. Another daily idiosyncrasy of ours to keep you entertained. WOoo, shiny....
