In an increasingly cramped world, a modern guide to opening up your living space - and your life - using the ancient principles of feng shui.

The practice of feng shui, centuries old and rooted in ancient principles of harmony between people and their environments, has perhaps never been more necessary than in the modern world. As we pack our homes - and now our workspaces, too - into mere square footage, our living spaces have a newfound and outsized impact on our wellbeing.

In Feng Shui Modern, interior design expert Cliff Tan shows us that this can be a good thing. Using the traditional principles of chi, or energy, to take inventory of our areas and tastes, Tan uses expert tips and unique illustrations to show us how our own styles, color palettes, and pieces can maximize any environment, from dorm room to five-bedroom home. Drawing upon traditional principles of energy, Tan adapts a specified approach to developing your own intuitive sense of space: for balance, the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water, and wood; for season, the cardinal directions of north, south, east, and west; for spatial orientation, the five animals, tortoise, tiger, bird, dragon, and snake. Then, taking inventory of light patterns, walking paths, walls, windows, and doors, Tan shows us how to carefully and comfortably balance the areas we have with the energy we need.

From choosing a home to redecorating old rooms, Feng Shui Modern helps us find harmony in the every facet of our lives - beginning with where we live them.

The Japanese philosopher and aesthete's definitive, hugely influential exposition of his philosophy of folkcrafts, setting out the hallmarks of Japanese design as we know it today: anonymity, quality, simplicity and honesty—and, of course, wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection

A Penguin Classic

Our lives are filled with objects. Everyday things used in everyday settings, they are our constant companions. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe—an aesthetic fulfillment of our practical needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty.

Long revered as the authority on craftsmanship and Japanese aesthetics, Yanagi devoted his life and writing to defend the value of craft. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, The Beauty of Everyday Things is a call for each of us to deepen our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple artisans Yanagi encountered on his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, this now-classic book is a heartfelt defence of modest, honest, handcrafted objects, from traditional teacups to jars to paper—objects that exemplify the beauty of everyday things.

Pointed Make-Up Q-Tip

The LastSwab Beauty is the reusable alternative for your everyday needs. Free your life from single-use cotton swabs, and enjoy the warm feeling of being part of the solution! It helps combat the billions of single-use cotton swabs that are produced every day.

LastSwab is the sanitary, reusable alternative to single-use swabs that can be cleaned by hand using soap and water. 

Every year, trillions of single-use plastic products are consumed and thrown away - often ending up on the beaches and in the oceans harming marine life. By purchasing LastSwab you are helping reduce harmful waste impacting our environment.  

Q-tips are one of the most significant plastic pollutants with over 1.5 billion produced by companies every day. With no solution to this problem and single-use plastic bans cropping up across the globe, three seasoned Danish designers created LastSwab.

LastSwab is designed to last at least 1000 uses and can easily be cleaned with soap and water. Each LastSwab is meant to replace cotton swabs and curb the disheartening amount of q-tips ending up in oceans and landfills.
