adidas

Hey,
This time I will post something more serious. Perhaps you've already noticed that Adidas is celebrating some Houseparties around the globe because they want to "celebrate originality" and because they are 60 now. in Rio the Janeiro they found a really original location. A villa who belongs to a guy named Luiz Fernando Penna, a rich Lawyer, was the the place to be. Under the party people was João Paulo Cuenca, who happens to own a blog. And he noticed something. Perhaps you can see it in the Pictures here:




or here:


I think i made the point. After Cuenca remerked this his an some other guests left the party. Of course the owner isn't a Nazi (little irony here). After a german newspaper he said that he is just a collector of antiquities. And according to him the symbols at the pool are just some greek symbols. Yeah sure. Perhaps strange coincidence, if you know tha the founder of Adidas and his brother Rudolf, the founder of puma were assidiuos nazis who worked for them and were even buildt the so called "Tank terror". Hurray for Adidas. Sadly I didn't found some english publications but there are the brasilian blog and the german newspaper, where i read about this. Perhaps you can help me find some english links.
Oh and of course Adidas held no Responsibility for this.
Of course the company today isn't responible for the Actions of their founder but they had they share of child labor and other scandals to leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

Mangas

If you happen to be a manga nerd then you will like this post. In Japan they are building an 18 meter tall Gundam suite to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this series. In the moment only the legs are standing but it gives a good glimpse how awesome the finished suite will be.

good design

I cannot wait to fly to Korea. One of the main reason is that they have great design who looks very simple and playful, but has an incredible attention to detail. And on top of it all it is so damm cheap! If you don't have the possibility to go there, you can still buy it from the online Shop.

periphere

Hey,
this one is an interesting furniture company based in Montreal, Canada. Sadly I don't have any pictur to show it to you, but the website is definitely worth a glance. I especially like the stool/night table cast in concrete. Although it's made from this hard material, it has this soft, comfy look.
