"This past weekend Adidas opened its massive new Beijing outpost. In celebration, a special exhibition of Dorophy Tang was mounted. Tang, based in Hong Kong and China, mixed Adidas heritage, footballing visuals and French furniture forms into her display. Unmitigated joy comes through the smiling, chubby little kids that figure in each work. Nice reminder of what the sporting life should be like."

Question: If you could live inside a Tetris piece, which one would it be?  Pieter Peerlings & Silvia Mertens, architects in Antwerp, Belguim opted for the long skinny piece you hope drops when you're wanting to rack up major points.

Reclaiming the narrow space between two existing buildings, they built this clean, modern 645 sq. ft. home.  "Four wooden floors between two existing walls, hanging in a steel skeleton, organize this house: downstairs for work, dining on 1st, relaxing on 2nd, sleeping on 3rd, and on the roof, go and enjoy the view."

Which Tetris piece would you live in?

I don't know why I'm so facinated with street art.  Maybe it was my three years living in Los Angeles.  Some things just stick... like the Lakers.  But I love graffiti.  I mean how many times can I post about Banksy.  So, when I came across these on JS, I had to throw something up here. 

When Maria and I were getting married, we went and registered like every greedy good couple is supposed to.  And here in Alabama they put a high premium on "starting your China collection."  I don't know what the deal is.  It's not like you ever really use them.  I wasn't that into it and luckily neither was my wife-to-be.

I have to admit though that if these tableware sets by Lovegrove & Repucci were around, I'd be zapping away with that little Lazer Tag thing they give you.  And our generous friends and loved ones would've only had to drop $100 per five-piece set.  Check out the YouTube ad for their previous set... New York Delft Tableware (Pic).

For real though... what's up with "starting your China collection?"  Somebody help me out here.

 

Introducing, the world's most beautiful foosball table...

 
And of course we can't forget my personal fav... Cory you must get this so I can come over and frustrate Tony .

If you could have any game "tricked out"... what would it be and what would it look like?
