Karim Rashid’s TV Tub: Every girls dream
Posted on 22. Sep, 2009 by Cassandra.
TV Tub - Oh so sweet!
It looks like there’s a repetitive theme here lately at Cherryflava tying either water with electrical products, or tying TV screens with lounging furniture. So, check out this TV Tub by Karim Rashid.
The Tub is made from liquid acrylic resin, and the TV is made by the Korean company, Saturn.
But enough with all the details, this thing is every girls dream; the ability to relax in a hot bubble bath while watching your favorite chick-flick on TV – Super!

Now, it’s industrial/graphic designer, Luis Luna’s turn.
City walking tours made easy

Where to from here?
Cape Town has a couple of designed walking tours – which you would know about if you ask the right people – or know a friend of a friend who has a contact with a guy that they once met at a braai.
But public walking tours should be freely advertised and promoted as part of the inner city experience like they do over here. It’s not rocket science. A simple board with a well-laid out graphic of where to go and what to see all neatly packaged with an estimated time stamp, and you’ve got various types of city experiences on-tap.
We would have thrown in some semacode love and a partnership with Google maps for good measure too, but as simple as they are these are great. Hopefully Cape Town can get its arse into gear in time for the ‘wave‘ of tourists expected next year.
Stylish cycle cabs

Sleak
The city of Malaga has a pretty efficient public transport system by the looks of it. There are loads of white Seat taxis, some nice buses and these pedal-powered ad-supported cycle cabs.
Next stop - the Argus cycle tour
Yeah – they do look like something you might see out in front of the Argus cycle tour. Cape Town has a small fleet of pedicabs, but not anything like these speedsters.

Ola!
The all important football really only gets cracking tomorrow – so we spent a bit of time today exploring the historical port city of Malaga on the Spanish south coast.
It’s expensive, beautiful and pretty old. Here’s a very quick photo recon of what we’ve found so far…
