To think of drainage systems as anything but cesspools of waste is really difficult for me and I suspect for lots of other people as well. Honfay Lui is trying to change that way of thinking, and to that effect he designed Matrix, the world’s first contextual drainage system. Matrix is made up of perforated slabs of square metals corresponding to the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet and the numbers 0 through 9. The purpose behind this scrabble-like style of drain is to enable drainage systems to deliver contextual messages much in the same way billboards do.
Pretty clever.

The Nihon Uni company a uniform manufacturer in Chuo Ward, Osaka, has developed a T-shirt intended to provide protection against knives, following an increasing number of malicious crimes that have victimized children and late-night convenience store clerks. The company used a slightly thick fiber that is three times stronger as cotton for the T-shirt. The strength of the T-shirt made from ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber is equal to that of aramid fiber used in body armor. The lightweight T-shirt is machine-washable and provides superior protection from slashing attacks. Be careful as the mesh fabric can be punctured by a sharp point.

Boon, creates great looking children’s products with a emphasis on simplicity and style. It is actually very interesting that the design principal is actually listed right under the CEO of the company in the about section. Available at many local retailers like targte and sears. This line of product classified as feeding looks great as a product line.
