Caribou New Logo = Omar In Arabic!!

I like going to Caribou Coffee, and since they announce their new logo,  and I was wondering if the new logo or the old one is more obvious and clear to look like a Jumping animal.

The new logo does not resemble the caribou animal, it might be abstraction for it, but what I see is a funky way to write my name in arabic. What do you think??

Sporthocking!!

It is best described as a cross between skateboarding and sitting down – and takes extreme sports to new and even more ridiculous levels.

The German brains behind the Sporthock, a colourful plastic stool with rubber lining, hope it will become the next must-have for street-savvy teenagers.

What Can You Do With Ping-Pong Balls??

Designer Daniel Arsham’s 90-square-foot apartment sits above the office of his design shop Snarkitecture at 60 Box Street in Greenpoint. He calls it Box/Box, and it’s a design experiment as well as his permanent residence. The walls are the impressive thing, though. No less than 25,000 grey and white ping pong balls decorate the walls, transitioning from dark to light as they near the ceiling. The ceiling itself is made of translucent backlit panels, with a skylight and mirrors to create the illusion of space.
