Last year, Hong Kong lifestyle store Goods of Desire (G.O.D.) released a set of four butt-shaped moon cakes which definitely added humour to the Mid-Autumn Festival. See the previous post here.

Well, they’ve done it again for 2009 but with an additional four new variations giving you eight asses to choose from!

Each moon cake is individually packed in a box resembling a Chinese calendar with the date of the Autumn Moon Festival. However, you won’t be able to identify which style you get, so if you want all eight, you gotta buy at least eight boxes. Shrewd business, but if you’re traditional, you’ll stick with eight-anything anyway…

I want a few of these Chinese chess piece poufs from Hong Kong store Goods of Desire (G.O.D.)!

The pieces are quite a simple design and look really nice when there are a few of them piled together. You can choose different character designs on them (there are also red and green ones).

We’ve mentioned G.O.D. (Goods Of Desire) on here before, which is a chain of design stores in Hong Kong. They produce and sell stuff that has a different, witty take on the Chinese local culture.

G.O.D. have these laser mice which being kitsch themed, sound like they could turn out really cheap and tacky. However, they look like fun, cheeky items that seem like they’ve been “designed” with some proper thought given to its appearance. Not sure about build quality, but I guess you have to handle these in real life to find out.

I did a little write up on my personal blog, on the Hong Kong Design presentation given by Douglas Young and thought I’d post the link here.

Douglas is the founder of G.O.D (Goods of Desire), a successful lifestyle store in Hong Kong.

G.O.D created the butt shaped moon cakes I posted a few days ago.

Yesterday, I went to a lecture at London’s Asia House, on Hong Kong design given by Douglas Young.

Young is the founder of G.O.D. (Goods of Desire), a successful lifestyle store in Hong Kong, selling home accessories, furniture and fashion.

One of the things I saw were these hilarious butt-shaped moon cakes that they sold for the Mid-Autumn festival just passed.

They resemble butts in various forms of undress. I’ve no idea what the thinking is, beyond sheer quirkiness, but these came in four varieties – see below – but buyers weren’t able to know what they got.

Apparently, the full monty was the most popular!
