KIOSK HELLO

You have to hand it to Hong Kong, the place knows it’s mis­sion in life. Whereas stained glass would nor­mally have a reli­gious tone to it, this one from the 80’s (we think based on the style of the com­puter and phone) has a def­i­nite hi-tech / future for­ward ring. Plane (Cathay Pacific) meets computer […]

KIOSK has been in Asia again and had a great visit. This time we were in HONG KONG. I think we found some nice things and some prac­ti­cal things and hope you will like them too. Please come over to our place for a beer on THURSDAY MARCH 13TH from 7 — 10 pm. Hope […]

We are now get­ting ready to put Hong Kong in the shop! It was a great trip. Hong Kong is both a won­der­ful and tragic glimpse into the future, both com­pletely inspir­ing and ter­ri­fy­ing and loud and urgent and malls and pop­u­la­tion den­sity and pol­lu­tion and really won­der­ful, won­der­ful peo­ple.
