創意無限- 日本Tokyu Hands (下)

上回題到的日本 Tokyu Hands, 其實己經於2003年在本土以外登陸......
我一直希望是香港, 但可能是我們的 DIY 土壤不夠肥沃, 所以她們還是選擇了在台灣開設第一間海外分店,
名為:台隆手創館.

做個設計師(下)

上回談了一些關於做設計師要考慮的狀况, 你可能會發覺我所說的是圍繞着一個室內設計師而言, 其實除了工作範圍會因應個別設計類型而有所分別之外, 大家所面對的壓力和困難也是大同小異的, 所以我還是以比較熟識的一行作為範本.

準備好了嗎?

City on the rock

Building on the slope in Chongqing

Chongqing is one of the most special city in Sichuan Province of China that I've ever visited.

In Summer, it is so hot up to 40 degree C, as what people said it is one of the "Three Furnaces" in China; but in Winter & early Spring, it is cold and humid, so damp that everywhere are covered up by a sheer of fog, so it is also know as the "Fog Capital".
 
I had a chance to visit it in both seasons, although it was only a one day business trip, I loved this city, what I've saw were so unforgettable.

There was only 20 minutes distance from airport to downtown (by taxi), very convenience; the first picture I've saw after leaving the airport was a highway on Jialing River, the highway was running in a South to North direction, where the river was from East to West. I had an amazing experience during the dry season, when the water level was so low that I barely saw the river bed and then while looking outside from the window, I discovered that the river was in a valley shape, so deep and I ...together with the taxi was so tiny...Wow! this was the "craftsmanship of nature".

Not a second, we were in the entrance of the Fog Capital, the buildings of downtown were almost right in front of us, but suddenly they all vanished...and appeared again...and vanished. I knew, we were in Sichuan now, where lots of mysterious stories created here, then a music tune of "X-file" appeared in my head.

My taxi driver brought me to reality...I reached Hilton Hotel, it was located in a commercial area along the mountain slope.  Yes! there were mountains everywhere, what I've saw the residential building around us, they were constructed on the hill slope, so interesting and special; if compared with those modern high rise, these were more harmonize to this city.

To keep this post short, I have to stop by telling you the "morning walk in the mist" in the morning after breakfast, must do and don't rush. They are definitely the best "distilled water" for our mind after a busy day. Hope you can feel all these one day, trust me, an unforgettable experience that can't be expressed in my text.

自家製作迎賓門簾

曾幾何時見過類似的門簾沒有?是否有一點點印象? 如果你是80後就很難說了, 否則應該會在陳寶珠年代的"粵語殘片"見過.

其實這是一幅很有創意的門簾, 它不是用珠仔串成, 估估是用什麼物料? 初初我還以為是用汽水鋁罐剪開摺成, 但想清楚應該不可能, 因為條邊太鋒利; 於是走近看看, 才發覺是用香煙的煙包剪開, 一粒一粒對摺捲成串起; 再結合顏色的配搭, 真有心思啊!

你可能會問, 那麼是否防水呢? 我想不大會罷, 但以它的細小結構及強硬度, 理應可以支持一段頗長凡時間呢! 要不然請煙民們奉獻一下以作維修之用, 相信也不會太難. 


如果你說, 這樣不大好呢, 好像在鼓勵吸煙啊? 非也, 只是有時創意也不一定要等同健康罷了!
