Honey Bunny

Base is a Japanese ecommerce platform that allows users to set up a shop under their own domain name.  It is there that we found this shop, Honey Bunny, that focuses mainly on smart phone covers.  Loved the owner- created graphics so we thought we’d share.

Monocircus

Found these delicate accessory designs on the Japanese handmade market site Minne.  They are the creations of married couple artist Ling Shim Ee and architect Kazunori Takeishi. The wearable art objects are sold under the atelier name Monocircus and created with 3d printing technology. They chose this production method to produce complex designs and forms not possible to be achieve by hand. They were also able to work with a variety of materials such as nylon plastic, stainless steel and silver.

You can view and purchase their work on their website. They can also be followed on Facebook and Instagram.
