BUILD - Bee creative!

New furniture normally means weeks, or even months of consideration as to whether or not the old furniture needs to be replaced. A new type of modular furniture can help with this issue, by giving you the ability to configure how you want it to be.

BUILD is a modular honeycomb-like furniture system which offers a versatile, and strong piece of furniture that can be used and combined in a number of different ways, as well as being able to be used as a standalone display, a box, a seat, or a step, while multiple BUILD units can be combined to form shelving units that are customised in your own way.

Each BUILD unit is made from ARPRO (expanded polypropylene), a high performance plastic foam. It is toxic free, emission free and allergy free! It is also 100% recyclable.

Tinitell - Keep your kids safe with a wristphone!

All children like to play outside, but some parents are often too concerned for the safety of their children. The Tinitell is a miniaturised mobile phone that looks like a wrist watch, so they can be contacted at any time.

Calls can be made by using voice recognition, with the child pressing and holding the main button, whilst speaking the name of the recipient, they can call them if anything happens with ease.

Tinitell can receive any incoming calls, but the adult overseeing the child, can limit calls to a pre-defined set of specific numbers. Tinitell requires a SIM card to work, which goes underneath the battery. The battery lasts for 60min talk time, and seven full days on standby.

The current price range for Tinitell is $99 for black, and $149 for light blue, dark blue and red.
