利用假日來到Caccini and Wayne位於羅東的設計工作室，這個外觀很複雜，內在更是跟迷宮一樣的建築，原是一間八十年的旅社，原本打算要拆掉了夷為平地了，但還好主人有遠見，最後仍決定留下建築，並開始整修重建，才能有今日的面貌。目前大部分主體仍在整修中，C & W的工作室位於三樓，其他空間則仍在規劃如何使用，未來還有很多可以發展的方向。
周末的午後，非常感謝Caccini and Wayne的招待~~讓我們在工作室中，見證了建築的歷史，享用美味的下午茶，還有一覽昂貴的原文設計書籍啊~~
三樓Studio入口這扇紅色大門，是來自於Wayne媽的巧思。
值得慶賀的是，這間工作是是未開幕就已受到注目了，上了LaVie雜誌2010六月份的專訪囉
的確，常有人批評蘋果的產品，並無特別創新，硬體並無特別高規格，功能也都是別家產品可能已經在用了。但是Steve有能力抓住市場，甚至創造新的產品定位。因為他能看到並近乎固執的去改善現有產品問題，這是許多同類型公司無法有的勇氣與執行力。
而且我想蘋果有這樣的創新力，其主要在於身為CEO這樣位階的Steve Jobs，在乎的是產品有沒有做到最好，而不是將精神放在公司的營運管理以及股東權益。這是目前許多高階經理人無法做到的事情。但是，Jobs一個很重要的概念就是，"產品對了，事情就對了"。Apple也就這樣成為了科技業的奇蹟。
Jeroen Koolhas and Dre Urhahn are two artist from Netherlands who started working together in 2005. In 2006, they started developing the idea of creating community-driven art interventions in Brazil. Their efforts yielded two murals which were painted in Vila Cruzeiro, Rio’s most notorious slum, in collaboration with local youth. After both murals were finished, they started their third stage of their project, ‘O Morro’.
The initial idea of the Favela Painting project was always to paint an entire hillside favela in the center of Rio, visible to all inhabitants and visitors. As the portuguese translation for ‘the hill’; ‘o morro’ is also used as a synonym for slum or favela, the artists chose to use this name for the third stage of the Favela Painting project. ‘O Morro’ started early in 2010 and was recently finished.
You can find more on the projects in their official website and their Facebook Page. See more images of ‘O Morro’ after the break.

彩繪，就要玩的大一點
Above: Chin Up byBrit LIsa Sandall a great way to keep your books easy to pool out while fresh contemporary designed
Below: StairCASE by Danny Kuo - a bright solution for people with a lot of books (or limited space!)
The StairCASE has three moving boxes, each can easily be pulled out to form a ladder.
設計不見得要花俏討喜，有時候我也要提醒自己，能在設計產品時，對「人」多思考一些.....
這時鐘的時間顯示方式，真的是太妙了！
