We’re so excited…

Since Monday afternoon the Smart Living Objects webshop is officially open. And to our own surprise - one can never be modest enough in these things - we had our very first order that very first day. Quite the challenge by the way, as our Irish customer ordered the longest picture frame of our collection: the Horizon Frame with 9 pictures. Apart from that, you can’t blame her for having excellent taste :) We will get that parcel there undamaged. Have a look at the result of our packing skills:

So now that the first order has been placed and packed, billions can follow. We’re absolutely ready for it. And if we’re going to drink Champagne to each and every one of them, even better:)

It’s been a while since we went window shopping (well, it’s more browsing shopping in this case), so it’s high time for an update on the design front.

Vitra created 3 night clocks that we really adore and that have a similar style as many of our own products:

We really like the sleek yet somewhat humouristic design of these clocks. We’d love to have them next to our bed :)

The Battery Recycle Box of pa design is a very cool gadget that really matches our Extra Large collection:

Finally, even though it’s already going on, it might be interesting for design adepts to pay a visit to the London Design Festival. Everybody who loves beautiful objects can visit this trade fair until 24^th September. Attendees also have a chance of winning gorgeous purses and shoes. Take a chance!

See you next week!

The last days...

Here at Smart Living Objects we don’t like to nag - life is just beautiful after all - but sometimes the urge to do so anyway is basically just too strong :)
We’re all very excited about going online this Monday, but unfortunately our computer system doesn’t seem to share that joy the last couple of days. It just won’t work with us. Server errors, Outlook difficulties, you name it and we had it. Don’t worry though, you will be able to shop and all (tiny) problems will get solved by the deadline. Everything always ends well, right?

Enough about ICT-annoyances. Monday is the Big Day and so we would like to introduce you to a new product. XLBoom came up with the idea together with London designer Finn Stone (you must remember him from our famous Ball Chair). We present to you: the Olee Table.

The Olee Table is a side tabe made of recycled ABS, after which it’s treated with a high quality paint made by DuPont. You can put it next to your favourite Ball Chair, but we think it suits better next to a sofa. Even better, you can slide the lower part under it. That way you get a little platform close to you on the couch on which you can put your laptop or some drinks. Either way, it’s your house and your rules and we don’t want to put pressure on anyone here ;)

Maybe you’ve seen it already, maybe not, but you can spot the Olee Table also on our Facebook page. Have a quick look and if you like what you see, you can always let us now by liking the page.

That’s it for now. Thanks to our server here, we know what to do. The last pieces of lead really are the heaviest!

See you next week.

Back to school

September has just started and we all know what that means: time for toddlers, kids, youngsters and teachers to head back to school. We also know school isn’t the most fun place where you can spend your precious time, but we have some pretty cool stuff in our assortment that makes it all easier to bear. The products we’re now going to present to you are all part of the Extra Large collection, a collection that offers real and functional objects in an extra-large size.

Alarm

Research shows that teenagers have major difficulties getting out of bed. Well, they (and everybody else) will no longer arrive late thanks to this Extra Large Alarm. No more excuses (hey, it’s just impossible to sleep through this), just get up - get up - get up :)

The Alarm is available in silver, red and black.

XXL Back Pack

So after you got up, are all freshened up and had breakfast, it’s time to pack your back pack. With the workload in schools these days, we think our XXL Back Pack would do just fine to take to school, but it wouldn’t be that good for the children’s backs.

Nevertheless it’s definitely something kids can use in their day to day life. You can easily turn it into a toy box or a laundry basket.

The XXL Back Pack is available in pink and blue.

Stationary

In order to do a proper job in class, kids have to have good stationary. All our tools work perfectly, but some of them have such big sizes it’s almost impossible to actually use them in class. However, they make great toys.

Eraser

 
The Eraser is one of our Extra Large products you can use in school. It’s so large, you can keep making mistakes. Until the end of your school career :)

Pencils and Ruler

Although you can write with them, we admit the Extra Large Pencils are a tad too big to fit your pen pocket and okay, the same goes for the ruler. But both gadgets are really fun to play with in your room or study. The Ruler is an excellent tool for measuring yourself and the Pencil allows you to show your most creative side.

The ruler is available in red, black, white and silver.

Paperclip

The last product that we’re going to introduce and which is very handy is the Extra Large Paperclip. Like a normal paperclip, this one too holds papers and documents together, albeit in larger amounts. In other words, you can store copy books, papers and grammar books in there. Much cooler than boring shelves, right?

The Extra Large Paperclip is available in red, black, white and silver.

We hope this information was useful and that we created some kind of need to buy products of the Extra Large collection ; )

Either way, we wish you, your children and/or significant other a great start of the new school year.

See you next week!
