如意椅 FlexibleLove
這張由台灣科技大學工業設計系學生Chishen Chiu設計開發，命名為「如意椅」的環保紙椅，主要材質是回收木板及蜂巢紙。設計者利用蜂巢紙具有相當好的伸縮性跟抗壓力的特 性，讓這張椅子具有伸縮變型的能力。如意椅平常可以收縮成30公分大小，放在小坪數的房間裡一點也不會覺得擁擠。而當一群親朋好友同時來家中拜訪時，這椅 子最長可以伸展至720公分，同時讓16個大人坐在上面。
據報導指出，目前已有許多廠商想要代理這張椅子，不過到目前為止還不確定何時會正式量產( 該不會是因為設計師追求完美的天性，想把防潮、防火、防蟲等問題解決後才上市量產？這樣也好，不然椅子被召回原廠維修昇級的話，就要坐地板好幾天了呢！ )。有興趣的朋友，不妨多留意後續的消息。有機會的話，不妨用實際的行動給國內的設計師一些鼓勵唷！
這張神奇沙發已在台灣有售，約為二萬台幣（即約五千港幣）。再翻查一下，外國也有類似的設計，叫Paper Lounge

Mathias Lauridsen & Freja Beha Erichsen - TV Interview
Translation (Courtesy of Sabrina and her cousin; Edited by me):
TV2 Anchor: Freja Beha Erichsen has made a fast career for herself in the international fashion world and is now in the absolutely top tier. Last night, the Danish fashion world paid tribute to their two supermodels.
Narrator: Music stars, well-known TV personalities, and political figures gathered on this night to pay tribute to the Danish fashion world. Naturally, models and designers also took part in Denmark's first fashion awards, as carried out by Danish fashion royalty Kim Grenaa and Uffe Buchard.
Susanne Bjerrehuus: We are on the world map, and it is something to celebrate.
Narrator: And it was indeed a celebration, although that came a little late for Susanne Bjerrehuus' own model son. But she, herself, was allowed to hand out the award to the male model of the year.
Susanne Bjerrehuus: Mathias Lauridsen.
Narrator: And Freja Beha Erichsen recevied her award as the female model of the year from Erik Brandt and Jokeren (A Danish musician).
Erik Brandt: She always allows her attitude and personality to show through her work.
TV2 Anchor: And that is how it looks when prizes are presented in Copenhagen's night life. Welcome Uffe Buchard, Mathias Lauridsen, and Freja Beha Erichsen. It is not very often that I welcome someone with the name Beha Erichsen.
Freja: You probably do not do that, no.
TV2 Anchor: Just like my own name. Isn't this nice? Because we are actually cousins, but we've never met each other before now.
Freja: It is funny.
TV2 Anchor: Hi Freja. Do you think we look alike? A little bit? Can you tell?
Uffe Buchard: Uhm, yes, a bit.
TV2 Anchor: How does it feel to be a top model, traveling around in the big world, and then coming home to receive an award like this? Is it good?
Freja: Yes, it is.
Mathias: Yes, I think so. It's...every pat on the shoulder is welcome. You just take it as a pat on the shoulder and recognition that you are doing good work.
Freja: Precisely.
Mathias: Of course it is always great.
TV2 Anchor: Uffe, you have been taking part in arranging these fashion awards. And you were also in the jury.
Uffe: Yes.
TV2 Anchor: Why did Mathias and Freja deserve their respective awards?
Uffe: Yes, I only cast my own vote. There are 250 people who have been involved, from both the Danish and foreign fashion industries. Also, there has been a panel of judges -- a hardcore, inner circle of 20 people -- who made the final selections. And I would say the choice here wasn't that hard. We have 2 world-class stars here.
TV2 Anchor: Yes. And what is special about what they have accomplished? In comparison to other models, that is.
Uffe: Well, what I think a good model should be able to do today is not only to be pretty - that is simply not enough. A good model today should also be a type of challenge to one's senses. You potentially go on an adventure based on the appearance of models today, and therefore, it is about much more than appearance. These days we often talk about a certain "X-factor," and that is what you have to have.
TV2 Anchor (to M & F): Do you have the X-factor? Do you wake up in the morning and think that you possess it?
Freja: You obviously don't do that.
Mathias: I don't really like the term "X-factor" much.
Uffe: No, but you have to showcase yourself. You have to be more like a real person than a doll. You are not supposed to be a model in that way anymore, like in the 80's and 90's. Things have been changing.
TV2 Anchor: There has to be more personality.
Uffe: Yes. And if you are not a well-balanced person and if you haven't experienced some things, and so on. I don't know about myself but I know they have.
Freja: Yes, I guess we have.
TV2 Anchor: Mathias, how did you get into it - how did you start your model career?
Mathias: I started it the way, I think, most boys start. I don't think it's the same path for boys as for girls - it's not that princess dream. Most boys start with being approached by someone and asked whether or not they want it to be their profession.
TV2 Anchor: This is actually the first "modeling photo" of yours, it's supposed to go on screen in a moment. How does this happen? Your father was involved, right? Did he say, "You look good, boy. You need to have some photos taken of you?"
Uffe: I actually remember you having that hair.
Mathias: I can actually remember that, too. Never has it been so long since then.
Freja: It is very cute.
Uffe: He's a rather cute girl.
TV2 Anchor: Freja, you are 20 years old now. There are these lists over the hottest or the best model in the world - Mathias you are number 1 at the moment - and Freja, you are no. 11. How did you get involved in all this?
Freja: Uhm, I was stopped on the street - at Gamle Parkvej (Old King's Road). And I thought, "Well then."
TV2 Anchor: Someone who thought here are some Beha Erichsen genes that can be put to use.
Freja: Yes, that's exactly what it was. Then I thought, "Why not?" So I went for it, and I have been doing it since.
TV2 Anchor: You haven't regretted anything?
Freja: I have never regretted that.
TV2 Anchor: Is a model life good for you? There are many who dream of such a profession and think that it must be the best in the world.
Freja: I like it. I think it's a nice job.
Mathias: I'm certainly not dissatisfied with it. It is probably not the job people actually imagine it to be when they think it's the best in the world, but I'm also very happy about my job.
Freja: Yes.
Mathias: I appreciate the many freedoms it offers.
TV2 guy: It is not necessarily the most long-life job.
Freja: It probably isn't.
Mathias: No.
TV2 guy: How long can one keep working as a model?
Freja: Well, I will keep working for as long as I can. As long as there is something to do. And afterwards, you will come up with something else to do.
TV2 Anchor: Yes, life is fortunately long.
Freja: Exactly. It is.
TV2 Anchor: Congratulations with the prizes. Thank you for coming.
Mathias, Freja & Uffe: Thanks. You're welcome.
Mathias Lauridsen - Bruuns Bazaar SS09 Backstage Interview
Interview with Danish male model Mathias Lauridsen, Bruuns Bazaar creative director Bjorn Bruuns, and Scoop Models director Jesper Lundquist. Everything takes place backstage at Bruuns Bazaar's Spring/Summer 2009 fashion show at Copenhagen Fashion Week (August 6th, 2008).
Courtesy of Sputnik.dk and the morning show Go' morgen Denmark.
Translation (Courtesy of Sabrina and her cousin - many thanks!):
"...now it's about fashion again. We have many beautiful women, but at the moment we also have a very handsome man. He is not only beautiful and young -- he is also one of the world's hottest and best top models. We have followed him the last couple of days to a fashion show at the Government's State Museum for Art. His name is Mathias Lauridsen."
Mathias: "I've just arrived here to Bruuns Bazaar Show at the Government's State Museum for Art, and I'm just getting make-up done. I assume I'm going to have to get my hair done and then, hopefully, I can go up and try the clothes and see the atmosphere."
Mathias (who is now dressed and ready to go): "They are having a hall test. We should probably listen."
Bjørn: "Now, we'll just try it once."
Bjørn: "Mathias looks good, but it's not all about looks. The biggest guy on the market isn't always the guy who looks the best. It's about working well in front of the camera, and we know that we can say that Mathias both looks very good can do what's needed of him. So, he is very special, I would say. I have worked with many and Mathias is very extreme (In a good way). So, I don't really know who's better than Mathias, I would say he's number one in the world. He is clearly in a class of his own."
Mathias: "Now we're standing here just before the show starts. I had my wardrobe presented -- I have three outfits: the first one is calm and quiet, that's what you jump in while you're waiting; the next few pieces should go a bit quickly. So, there's traffic back and forth here. In shows, it's necessary to have a dresser, but in daily life it would be completely horrible to have another ready when you take your shirt off."
Mathias: "We're rolling!"
Jesper: "He's incredibly photogenic and he looks diffrent on every photo. If you look at his campaign for Gucci, Lacoste and Hugo Boss in his porfolio, you would think he was ten different people. He has a wonderful quality which is incredibly rare, and he has been number one on Models.com for two years now -- which is very unbelievable for a Danish model since it has been so long. We have never had something that reminds me of this, and we have never had a woman for that long either."
Mathias: "Oh, those girls. They are walking slowly."
Mathias: "There was a lot of time."
Jesper: "He's very calm, very down-to-earth. He's not a party guy or even one of those people who have their nose in the sky (Arrogant). He's a very good boy. I would say that it has been a very important for his career that he's sympathetic and sweet. There're models that can be in his position and they're like 'and here I come,' but he's not like that. He's a very nice boy."
Mathias: "The show is running a bit late, but all together I think I've been here for two and a half hours; effective working hours. It has been with clothes changing for fifteen minutes. So, that's the way it is. [English] Another day at the office :)"

Kevin於6歲便開始他的演藝生涯，大部分作品皆為電視影集，至少在30部廣告片中出現；曾經在英國倫敦擔任過模特兒，目前定居加拿大 多倫多市；其原始髮色為褐色（深褐色及金色都是染的）雖然身高不高但臉蛋長的俊美又是運動健將，他也曾到倫敦當過服裝男模。
出生於加拿大，雖然年紀輕輕才二十多歲，但他累積所演出過的電影、電視影集及廣告數量已經相當豐富。童星出身的他，最早以演出【神犬也瘋狂】系列電影中的可愛小男孩而廣為大眾所知，2004年參與舊片新拍的恐怖片【活人生吃】演出後開始展露頭角。2005年他在電影【窈窕老爸】中，飾演一位一心想尋找未曾蒙面的生父的嗑藥青年，與影后級演員費莉希蒂霍夫曼演出對手戲卻不見青澀，表現相當搶眼成熟。
他近期參與過的影集包括有【The Incredible Mrs. Ritchie】，與好萊塢資深演員吉娜羅蘭及詹姆斯肯恩飆戲；也曾於【House M.D.】、【X檔案】等影集裡軋上一角。
2006年於英國領銜主演了流行音樂天王艾爾頓強所監製的【女男變錯身】一片。
【記者 蘇詠智／報導】
奧斯卡提名大片「窈窕老爸」（Transamerica），讓女主角費莉西緹霍夫曼，影壇地位邁進一大步，她所飾演的變性人，深深抓住觀眾目光。不過，該片除她之外，演她兒子的凱文傑格斯戲分也很重。
具有青春偶像外型的凱文傑格斯，為戲脫光、耍叛逆樣樣來，完全沒有帥哥包袱，同樣令人印象深刻。
為求戲好 不怕犧牲
若是半路出家、對演戲沒太多熱情的少男少女，碰到「窈窕老爸」這樣的劇本，可能很難輕易點頭接演。
來自加拿大的凱文傑格斯就不同，看似偶像帥哥的他，早在6歲就進入演藝圈，拍過無數廣告，電影電視的演出經驗非常豐富，很早就有「為求戲好不怕犧牲」的專業素養。
凱文傑格斯的年齡很輕，今年才21歲，卻有長達10多年的演藝資歷，如此雄厚基礎，讓他能生動詮釋片中那位雙性戀傾向、立志成為A片男主角的叛逆壞小孩。
尋常偶像男星，就算再敢脫敢演，也未必能像他那般維妙維肖。
據Hollywood網站報導，凱文坦承他曾經「客串」應召男，向人喊價賣身，以便瞭解片中角色的心境，不過，好演員再怎麼投入也有底線，「那個人願意付350美元（約合台幣11500元）和我上床，我一看苗頭不對，騙他要去上廁所，馬上從後門偷溜走。」凱文笑著說。
小小年紀 大大志向
童年時的凱文，曾在「X檔案」（X Files）、「清秀小佳人」（Road to Avonlea）等露臉，也曾在「福星急轉彎」（Life with Mikey）演過男主角米高福克斯的童年，米高也是從加拿大到好萊塢發展，獲得極大成就，凱文小小年紀，就知道這是他未來的目標。
13歲時，凱文主演迪士尼家庭電影「神犬也瘋狂」（Air Bud），成本僅300萬美元（約合台幣9786萬元），全美票房卻是本錢的8倍，由於片子叫好叫座，一連拍了好幾部續集，凱文也不斷重回劇組，扮演連戲主角，直到快20歲，才與此系列說再見。
主演了一部賣座影片，結果有好有壞。雖不再像以往那樣沒沒無名，但凱文傑格斯仍很難擺脫「可愛男孩」的形象。
童星發展空間不大，如果不想裝可愛，就得冒「轉型失敗」的風險。
凱文在「神犬」系列外嘗試突破，爭取到的角色不外是「感情陷入困境、父母身邊的兒子」，不同的是每個兒子個性不同，也許開朗陽光、也許陰鬱沉默。
男童星長大後很容易碰上「身高不高」、「不再可愛」兩大困境，加速過氣。一向愛運動的凱文，身型不算太矮（約175公分），臉蛋堪稱清秀俊俏，僥倖逃過「過氣危機」。
當他正式揮別「神犬」系列後，馬上加入限制級恐怖片「鬼擋路」（Wrong Turn）演出陣容，可惜，擔任的角色是最早被食人家族幹掉的富家子，除了帥臉稍微引起注意，沒兩下就消失。
說也奇怪，凱文在「鬼擋路」中沒啥表現機會，卻意外從「可愛童星」變成「恐怖片美男」，接連在「活人生吃」（Dawn of the Dead）、「勇闖斷頭谷」（The Hollow）中露臉。
在「勇」片，他還登上第一男主角寶座，扮演「斷頭谷」強尼戴普百年後的子孫，和祖先一樣被捲入與無頭騎士的鬥爭中。
用力轉型 獻出全裸
如果再演恐怖片下去，凱文只怕又要被定型，看見「窈窕老爸」的劇本，他說什麼也要參與演出，對導演的一切要求全力配合，因此，獻出他首度全裸鏡頭。
電影情節裡，凱文要對他的阿姨（看起來像阿姨，他也還不知道「阿姨」的真正身份是他的父親）獻身，令觀眾肯定他的演出勇氣和實力。
銀幕下的凱文也算早熟，和大他10歲的演員女友瑪莉莎在洛杉磯同居，各自朝一線巨星的目標努力。【2006/04/03 星報】

Mathias Lauridsen interview by Cover.dk
與NY的經紀人David Ralph合影
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 昨日開跑。這位25歲的丹麥男模 Mathias Lauridsen 於隔日抵達，而且他也是如其它的男模一樣要來這裡工作。Cover.dk 遇到了這位曬得均稱的男模，也問了他幾個紐約時裝周的問題。
街頭 Burberry
BURBERRY的「風衣的藝術」 (Artofthetrench.com)網站，則是以BURBERRY的風衣為主題，邀請部落客兼攝影家舒曼掌鏡，透過市井小民穿上風衣後留下的美麗影像，詮釋風衣之美。HOGAN的秋冬廣告邀請知名攝影家JESSICA CRAIG-MARTIN掌鏡，不僅影像風格充滿藝術品味，就連入鏡的模特兒都是大有來頭，不是作家、畫家，就是新銳導演，讓人留下深刻的印象。
