Give Him A Porsche For Christmas. Well... Everything But The Car.



Okay, so he'd really like a Porsche for Christmas, but it's just not within your budget. So why not something from the Porsche Design Studio instead? With highly styled products ranging from usb keys, pen knives, home and kitchen accessories to luxury watches and cuff links, there are a lot to choose from. The large selection of design products includes several fun children's toys and a four nicely designed 2009 calendars.




Here are some of my favorites:

To fit in with the Christmas celebrations, Porsche Design has added a golden accent to several of their men's accessories this holiday season. The designs add the precious metal in yellow and rose to some select sunglasses and watches.

P´8440 Sunglasses:

The P’8440 sunglasses in Light Gold Matt were designed with a definite nod to the “Exclusive Sunglasses” from 1978 – a true Porsche Design classic. The design of the lens attachments and bridge is a direct quote from the original.

For the first time, two models from the Porsche Design Dashboard series feature a rose gold case with a rubber and titanium layered bezel.The rose gold numbers and indices are featured in all three variants of dial and are partly displayed with superluminova.

This also applies to the hands, which for the first time are pointed to make it possible to tell the time more precisely.The rose gold and sapphire glass black reveals the Porsche Design rotor system and the ETA 2894-2 automatic mechanism.

Britney Is Back. She is SOOOO Back.



She may be a mom of questionable capability. A trashy dresser. And have an addictive personality. But she's still one hell of a pop star.

Increasing The Fun Factor: Didi Dunphy Of Modern Convenience




Didi Murphy takes objects that by their very nature are already fun, and makes them even more so. Swings, see-saws, skateboards and other playground 'toys' are infused with colors, vinyl, embroidery and other elements to make them both functional indoors and eye-poppingly pleasing in the right interior. Be aware, however, prices aren't nearly as 'fun' with see-saws running up to $5,800.00, jack the rocker going for $6,600.00 and the swings costing a cool $2,200.00 each.


In her own words:
For school kids, Recess is a magical moment - the doors burst open, the playground in site with joyous possibilities, unlimited potential for imaginative games that build valuable social interaction. For adults though, Recess is mostly an idea of long ago now replaced with hectic scheduling, endless responsibilities: family, country, business, another load of laundry a cell phone or email to check. Thus the "See Saw," the "Swing," the "Jack Rocker Joggle Board" and the "Inside Skateboards/Longboards" are designed for interaction with the hopes that through this Recess or play activity, the collaboration, (you need two to See Saw!) brings about good ideas and well being between people.

The embroidered vinyl longboards and skate boards with clear wheels, shown below, are designed for indoor use.




And I've always been a fan of her padded colorful vinyl indoor skateboards:


Her colored vinyl poufs have fun faux fur at the bottom:


And her see-saws are as sculptural as they are fun to play on:


Vinyl Upholstered Bench big enough for two adults and a couple of small kids at 14" x 96". The base is welded aluminum, powder coated in glitter colors, and can be used for storing extra fun stuff. Many bright colors to choose from.

More See-saws:



The Jack Rocker below is a bench in upholstered vinyl with custom designed embroidery. 6' x 12" x 2" . The two powdercoated aluminum bases are 22 1/2" x 21 1/2" x 16".



The Surf Swing is made of planed wood with hand airbrushed design, 24" x 10" x 2", stainless steel hanging hardware and plastisol coated playground chain:



Her Tiara Swing Set is a contemporary interpretation of the ordinarily plain metal frame, making it fit for a princess, of course:



Indoor Swings in various colors look surprisingly good when hung indoors in the right environment:


Vinyl Upholstered Bench big enough for two at 22"x42". Choose from several bright colors. The Safety Plastisol dipped playground chain comes in lengths up to 85". All other hardware is stainless steel. And, the tassels, each set of four unique to your swing, are made of acrylic spheres and plastic twine.

Designed for indoor and outdoor swinging and fun.


Chain of Love: This hanging sculpture can be taken down and used for lounging or cuddling on the floor, in style:

The Kissing Jim: Modeled after the Victorian courting chair, this piece allows two people to sit face to face comfortably. Promotes conversation, meaningful gazing, and relaxing cheek-to-cheek.
