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).

More on the G.O.D. website

A new ‘adult hotel‘ is opening in Nanning in southern China. Each of the rooms is furnished with a red bed with straps, an adult chair and a gym ball, as demonstrated by an employee.

Lots of customers have been attracted by the rooms but the owner is a little worried the hotel might be perceived as a brothel. Maybe its the bright colours, in which case the owner should sleep easy…

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.

Here’s the flabby Chairman Mao chair by cool cartoonist Gerald Scarfe! It’s a little striking (and uncomfortable) to look at and I don’t know whether you simply sink into it, if you tried to sit there, but if anything, its a conversation piece…
