A Bathing Ape x United Arrows – Mr. Bathing Ape
You would think that A Bathing Ape (BAPE) can make their own upscale men’s line, but for Mr. Bathing Ape they had to tap the talents of United Arrows. This small collection sees classic menswear with subtle hints of BAPE, along with a new logo featuring the BAPE head with a mustache. The button-downs have the mustache monogrammed on the pocket, while the sport jacket is lined with BAPE camouflage, and the ties come in BAPE camo or with an all-over BAPE logo print.
google-sends-out-100000-qr-code-stickers
Earlier this month over 100,000 businesses around the country received a QR code sticker from Google that looks like the one here. These stickers were sent to the most popular businesses in Google's Local Business Center database. The idea is for companies to stick this postcard sized sticker in their front window.
I have written about QR codes before here and here. For a quick recap, QR codes are two dimensional barcodes that use the cameras in smartphones to direct people to web sites. You can see the QR code in the bottom right corner of Google's sticker. QR codes are very popular in Japan, and no doubt after this move by Google they will become more popular in this country.
Why would Google spend all this money sending these stickers out for free? Of course, they want more traffic to their web site. When you scan the QR code in these stickers, it takes you to the local listing for the business on Google with reviews, photos, and perhaps coupons.
It will be interesting to see how much this really spurs adoption of QR codes here. I can see a day in the not too distant future where most businesses have one of these stickers in their front window.
Now, you don't have to wait for Google to send you one, you can create your own QR code sticker that directs people to your web site right now. You can create a graphic file of your QR code by using a QR code generator site such as Delivr or Kaywa. Then you can print it yourself or, of course, Lightning Labels will be happy to print these stickers for you.
Bell & Ross Vintage BR Carbon Series
Bell & Ross unveil two new watches from its Vintage BR Carbon Series– the Chronograph BR 126 and the Vintage BR 123.

Summerwind
The Summerwind armchair is an outdoor piece of furniture that you can use as usually in the garden, on the terrace, and you can also use it in your swimming pool, in the water. Indeed it uses the same technique of manufacturing as the maritime buoys, that is to say roto molding.
The armrests of the chair help for the flotation and for the balance of it on the water. Also, the small holes at the back allows water to come inside the seat to get the whole set stable.
Designer: John Nouanesing (France)
Material: HD polyethylene
