Great Escape Lodge Concept

I just found this image on google. I am not sure who did it but it looks like the work of my friend John. Sweet birdseye views are his specialty. Having seen the result I think that the design team would be wildly disappointed in the amount of cost reduction that took place. Most of the character details of their design were water down and turned generic.

Great Escape Lodge

This is the indoor water park and hotel by Lake George in New York that I will be taking the boys to in a couple weeks as part of my birthday weekend. Last time we were there we went around the lazy river about 300 times each day. The price is steep and the food is mediocre but it is well worth it because the boys have an awesome time.

Samsung "style and efficiency"

This sweet new printer from Samsung is nicely detailed and tightly engineered. The interface and the displays are especially well-done. The only slight criticism I would offer is that the marketing text is a little far-reaching and a tiny bit cheesy. Here it is, see what you think.

"Imagine the excitement and sense of pride that this sleek jewel of a printer will bring to your life. Banish unattractive technology and welcome a trendy laser that will sparkle on your desk and light up your printouts. With Samsung SCX-4500 it’s not that hard to imagine."

tea set

Sweet tea set. Georg Jensen living collaborated with new designer Helena Rohner to craft a modern tea service that paid homage to Georg Jensen's fluid organic design language, yet challenges the design principles of a modern tea service.

More Jatoba wood

Cool but is it worth $8000? Well, with spring coming right up I am looking for a new picnic table for the office but I think that this is a little out of my range. The gargantua outdoor table and seating system designed by dirk wynants. is a beautiful and functional piece of outdoor furniture that claims it "promotes social and family togetherness". It is part of the permanent collection of the design museum of gent (belgium), gargantua is a multifunctional piece of garden furniture, made of durable materials: galvanised metal, stainless steel and jatoba wood.

bbq

Exceptional for its use of materials and modern forms. The extempore traditional barbecue works on charcoal and is equipped with adjustable grills and a small wok to keep the food warm. the brackets can be used as handgrips or for hanging the accessories onto. the barbecue can be closed with a lid and is made of stainless steel. its frame, as the frames of the other products of the extempore range, is made of anodized aluminum, its joints of stainless steel and the tabletop of FSC labeled jatoba wood.
