ONLINE SHOPPING IPKAT-STYLE

It’s only just over two months until Christmas/Chanukah so it’s time to start thinking what to get that special trade mark lawyer in your life. Luckily the IPKat is here to take the effort out of festive purchase decision-making. Your feline friend heartily recommends this year’s winner of the fashion category of the Dutch Design awards (viewable here, click on Bling Bling at the bottom of the page) At only 249 Euros, Bling Bling, available from Tjepkema Studios, is a medallion made up of layer upon layer of famous trade marks. What’s more, it’s jewellery with a social conscience. According to the website:

“Bling Bling is part of Thingness, a body of work in which my main objective is to explore the social behaviour of things”.
