90 days left of B.Tech...tick-tock, tick-tock

The Time Machine Clock by the Portugal-based designer, Daniel Duarte, is an abstract clock with layered bars that rotate as time passes. The geometric patterns constantly shift and change as the time ticks away. The yellow-tipped bar represents the hour, while the orange-tipped bar signifies the minutes.





Time is ticking as we only have 90 days left of B.Tech!

Who still remembers Moomin?

Moomin is most certainly one of my fondest childhood memories!

Artek, an iconic Finnish brand, has introduced the much-loved Moomin characters on the Alvar Aalto-designed Table 90B, Stool 60 and Stool E60 as well as on the Children's Stool NE60 and Children's Chair N65.

I feel like a kid again! :)

A story of hope

I met with the founders of The Hope Jones Foundation today! This foundation is a P.E.-based NGO that aims to enable and empower children with physical and mental disabilities.    

The Hope Jones Foundation is also looking into making use of disused shipping containers as libraries, similar to my B.Tech project, that would be situated at special needs schools. 

Read about their other projects as well the story of Hope Jones at http://www.thehopejonesfoundation.co.za/
