Joji Okazaki

I love this chipboard bonzai tree! As someone with a black thumb, this tree would really build up my confidence…You can even ‘prune’ it by rearranging the branches and leaves. The Atomic Bonsai was designed for Tokion Magazine by Joji Okazaki and is available here.

Thing Tank

A fancy mobile from Thing Tank. The mobiles are available in either oiled mahogany plywood or opaque white acrylic. The mobiles are actually very large (each piece is 30″ x 20″), putting them in both the sculptural and furniture categories. Not the trucks and diggers mobile of your childhood.
