Warning: this is a rotary candle holder
7. dec 2009 Unpack, assemble and light. It’s so simple that I think I might have been able to it without the instruction. If it hadn't been for all the warnings.
Every second package in the presents game was from the Tiger shop.
Things! It’s funny, and cheap. But most of it, I’m afraid, I would never have bought to myself. On the other side of the world people have been busy, the things are produced, carried to here. And after a brief toying, the thing is forgotten. Honestly. I know that they don’t know on the other side how we treat the things (can they guess?), but it really isn’t a meaningful work.
Well then, and Tiger actually did some work trying to qualify the goods. For the rotary candle holder for instance, a booklet was enclosed - instructions in five languages: Unpack, assemble and light. It’s so simple that I think I might have been able to it without the instruction. If it hadn't been for all the warnings.

AS WRITTEN IN THE BOOKLET:
Instruction- Carefully unpack all the parts
- Assemble the candle holder
- Light the tea light and the top will spin automatically
- If the top will not spin:
- Check that the pin is inserted corectly
- Check that the top is sitting correctly on the pin - The candle holder should not be placed in a draught
- Do not touch the metal parts when the light is lit – they can become very hot
- Wait until the metal parts have cooled down, after blowing out the tea light, before touching
- Stand the candle holder on a fireproof surface
- Place tha candle hlder out of reach of children
This little fellow came from Tiger as well. Next morning he was on the shelf with forgotten items. Oh dear.

After visiting Buchstabenmuseum in the fall 2010, I started to register this applied typography in big scale in Copenhagen. Big letters, neon, and stuff.As far as I remembered, this was different from how it was back in Copenhagen. Consequently I started to look around here, and of course there were many more than I expected. […]

Big Letters Light ➜
Buchstabenmuseum Berlin. Why are these letters so attractive? I don't get an answer at Buchstabenmuseum, but I most certainly get a wish to look after all these servants of the announcements, sofisticated as well as monumental.
Jyllingevej is no station ➜
Oh yeah, noo, it’s a road, right ... Jyllinge[road] ? Well, but everybody familiar with the S-trains in Copenhagen, especially between Ballerup and Vanløse, knows that Jyllingevej is the last station before Vanløse. And now it is no station.Well then, Jyllingevej is the last station (if I may insist) before Vanløse, and thus […]

I don't think that it’ll cause any problem. I mean: Who really wants a burp . Compared to Deutsche Telekom’s attempt to trademark the color magenta ? No, I don't think so. It’ll pass nice and easy.So what's the purpose, what is my intention, with the burp. But first of all I’ll show magnanimity. That’ll shine on the ethical […]
