BLAST FROM THE PAST, A VIEW FROM TOP, PACIFIC PLACE JAKARTA

It was begin on 2008 when I decorated for a client's apartment located in Apartemen Batavia. Then continued with a bed for his master bedroom Marriott Mayflower apartment. Last but not least was a built in closet combined with a bunk bed for his maids in Pacific Place Residence. So this was a bed set for maid bedroom. The view of Sudirman Central Business District that you could see from the maid bedroom is not that awesome. But in the morning if you lucky and get clear air, you can see Salak mountain from a distance. What really amazes me is the Pacific Place itself. Pacific Placet has a semi hidden garden, swimming pool and tennis court on their roof. It's like having a sanctuary in a busy business area.

AMAZING WATCHES DESIGN

All these watches collection is to die for. I would kill to have all of them. Lolz. Fossil which collaborates with well known French product designer Phillipe Starck has taken watches design to the next level. Starck had engaged the contemporary digital technology with traditional clock hands ticking. It's something that I never tought before. I personally think those Fossil s+arck collections are collector items. So go get them for yourself.

I always been a big fan of Police watches. I think that they're not for commoners. For me Police always have something special. Either it's in the form or the color. They always succeed to balance their design. Their designs is always simple yet bold in some kind of way. I always think there is no need to spend your bucks on luxurious to get best design watches. You know money can't buy taste.

But if you have tons of bucks, I think you should consider these ones from Piaget. It's Piaget Limelight Party Collection. The musical inspirations, the notes and piano, had been interpreted well by their designer. Hmm if only they put piano sound in it.

BLAST FROM THE PAST, Sophie's kitchen

This kitchen was made in 2008. I personally wasn't satisfied with the result. In fact I was a lil bit disapointed. I knew there must be something wrong.

SKETCHES

Years ago a friend in my early office always underestimated my hand sketching. No matter how hard I tried to perfecting my hand sketching. He always wanted me to did the same way as his hand sketches. Well I guess he didn't realize that hand sketching is like hand writing. There is no perfectly same between hand sketching of two different persons. It's just like finger print. Even twin have the exactly different fingerprint. So recently I came to a gorgeus imported furniture showroom located in Permata Hijau. Surprisingly the owner complimented my sketches. I was blown away. It was just like a sweet revenge for me. Tough my old friend didn't know this situation, but we both know the owner. He was formerly the head of the biggest classic furniture importer that has showroom in Menara DV.

A Place To Getaway

Some people asking me some question where the hell is my furniture workshop located.... Well, me myself don't know how to explain how to get there except I were taking those people by myself. But one thing for sure, tough it is located in the middle of nowhere, there are some best spots with amazing scenery that really make your stress relieve. I wonder how long this area, that paddy fields, remain as it is before it is changed to be real estate.
