Geeky accessories 2

84 days ago

Today’s edition of geeky accessories comes from the Paddington markets in Sydney, thanks to a work trip this last week. Plastic tangram camels:

Camel tangram earrings

They are by Antlitz Design, and he has several different tangram designs made of similar material – the classic square, and one that might be a swan. Antlitz don’t seem to have their own online store but you can see some of them for sale at Modamuse.

These plastic tangram earrings are not really the direction they are heading in design, though, according to the stall holder I spoke to. Their new stuff doesn’t strike me as being so mathematically inspired, so if you like the tangrams, you should probably try and snap some up soon.

"Where It's At" earrings

There are lots of nice vaguely geeky accessories to be found at markets on a weekend. I think Scrabble letter cufflinks are awesome, and I saw some nice domino-based necklaces, but this guy’s earrings and necklaces were the best for me. Mainly because he is embracing geekiness all the way through. Not only is his website a TiddlyWiki, but he uses 3d printing to create his items.

His string of ‘pearls’ was also quite tempting. There was another necklace that looks like a bike chain but is apparently better known as a hex stud chain.

Pretty neat. The pieces are slightly powdery, but I’m sure that brushes off soon enough. His store is called Flow Design and you can buy stuff online, or go to the Rose St market in Fitzroy, Melbourne, and you can probably find him there, as I did. Not only will you look stylish, but you will have a good geek story to report as well. :)
