Ability to learn about a variety of equipment; Depending on the client that is being supported, you have the potential to learn and work with Windows Server and desktop products; Free MSDN account; Free Microsoft and Adobe software for HP internal use.Cons
Bad leadership on the Service Desk; Some people have incorrect job codes/salaries for their positions, and management refuses to update either one; Unethical practices regarding modifying statistics to meet SLA requirements; Metrics used to measure performance are irrelevant to some jobs.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Pay people what they are worth, and adjust the job codes and salaries of those who aren't making the correct amount for their job responsibilities. There are many agents with incorrect job codes and who are underpaid by at least 25% when compared to fair market salaries for their positions. Veteran agents shouldn't be training new inexperienced employees who are making over 10% more than the experienced veterans. Managers and supervisors need to lead the team rather than having "lead agents" stand in for many of their duties. They also need to stand up for their employees when unfair policies come down the pipeline--this builds trust. The quality of Service Desk employees has degraded over the past few years, and as a result, the atmosphere in the office has as well. The environment is oppressive. The quality mentoring process penalizes agents for inconsequential clerical errors, but leaves important things unchecked such as "Is the problem completely resolved?" or "Did the user have to call back for the same issue?" This results in unfair scores that are indirectly proportional to the level of customer service being provided.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I worked at Hewlett-Packard full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
Competent coworkers.
A legacy of grass-roots values still reflecting the HP Way.
An enormous patent portfolio.
Ownership of a large percentage of the IPv4 address space. :-)
OK (industry-average) salary and benefits that are still better than in many other industries.
Mid and lower level management that eventually comes around to doing the right thing if it is within their control to do so.
Great career opportunities for charismatic extroverts who can think logically about technical issues.
Super-strong international infrastructure, presence in emerging markets.
Supply chain and channel partner arrangements that leverage high volume and squeeze out competitors' profitability.
HP allows rehires to accumulate years of service and accompanying benefits across all employment periods.Cons
Unimpressive software products.
Stratospheric management and the board of directors often do not hold to the HP Way.
Executives are brought in from outside the company and tend to "ruin" it gradually from the top down.
Benefits ain't what they used to be.
HP buys big companies and then lays off a huge percentage of employees (new and old).
Organizations can have serious localized pathological problems.
Technical career path only works for certain personality types and leaves other valuable contributors stuck.
HP promises and expects above average performance but is only willing to provide benefits and salary that match the industry average.
Even the best managers cannot "fix" the inherently broken ideas of forced ranking and competition for variable performance-based bonuses.
Old cash-cow cutting-edge innovations like printing technologies, PA-RISC, HP-UX, etc., are no longer such a big deal revenue-wise, or have no future at all.
Cost-cutting measures that have kept the company competitive have also destroyed its most effective cultural motivations for true innovation. Now HP "invests" in innovation only by buying innovative companies (which then have to conform to HP's own innovation-stifling internal policies).
Service silos often distribute work to the masses to create huge internal savings (on paper) with no accountability for the loss of productivity they cause throughout the company.
A top-down emphasis on micromanagement created distrust and demoralization especially during the 1990's and 2000's, and has left management where no one is willing to risk their job to challenge higher-level management. At the individual contributor level, team-work is given lip-service only, and it is usually inadvertently punished instead of rewarded.
Lose-lose decisions: an example is the acquisition of Palm followed by the subsequent departure from the smart-phone and tablet markets (which left Palm, HP, and especially the consumers and Palm-fans all at a huge loss).
Many executive decisions have compromised the company's long-term health for short-term gains.
Too many and too-foolish company acquisitions.
Leo's decision to spin off the PC biz.
The company has more money than it can figure out how to handle well.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Will Oklahoma grow well on its own roots?
I had a little success with the experiment with the newspaper wrapped cuttings in my basement. Now I really want to know if they will be worthwhile garden roses. What do you think?
When most older Hybrid Teas were introduced they were grown on grafted rootstock. That's mostly how they were evaluated by the hybridizers/and or the sellers. Many of these older gems are not very vigorous on their own roots, although there are exceptions. Oklahoma in my experience in my climate was not an exception and does benefit from grafting. However if you have some cuttings that have rooted and look promising I for one would certainly be tempted to grow them on. I would give them the best of growing conditions and placement. As the old saying goes, waste not, want not. Who knows they may end up throwing basils right and left for you........Maryl
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm going to pot them up over the 4th and see what happens. This year is the first time (of four attempts) that I've even had a hope of growth from cuttings and I'm quite excited about the success. I think the coolness in the basement has made a difference from previous attempts. I have a few cuttings with leaves or roots in the basement under lights in baggies and now the callused cuttings in the newspapers. I'm very happy!
I hope you can hold them until this heat passes. That's the greatest difficulty I've had with the method yet. When the milder weather was still here, taking them further was rather easy. A hundred degrees makes it a whole lot more touchy. Good luck! Fun, isn't it? Kim
Well, I was wondering if taking cuttings in late August might work better.
So, if I pot these guys up and put them back in a dark basement, will the roots still grow? There is some light, but not even enough for a Philodendron. Do they need light for the stems? I don't have any more room under the grow lights. Can I put them out in the (hot) shade once they get a leaf or two?
It seems the wrapping method is at its best when temps are more on the cool side and the cuttings can be potted out where they'll get filtered light and mild, say fifties to sixties temps while growing on. Once they are potted, they will need some light as the increase in temperature will stimulate them to form roots and grow. They'll need some for the green wood to photosynthesize food to support them.
Is there anywhere outdoors where they can be put in semi shade, kept with a bit higher humidity and watered? You don't want them to fry, dry out or rot. I know, a delicate balancing act this time of year. I am not having difficulties getting them callus and root. It's aftercare that's more touchy now, because of the heat, wind, intense sun, extreme evaporation, etc. Many are drying out before they can support themselves. It wasn't an issue when the daytime temps were no higher than the mid seventies. As I've continually said, it's going to take some tweaking to make it fit everyone's situations. Kim
I was intending to put them in 16 oz styrofoam cups (half pearlite and half good potting soil) in an old fishtank, and cover it loosely. I know the completely shaded back porch is not the place. Killed the previous ones there. So, I just need to put a few in different places and see what grows. I just need to do it. I'm really bad about wanting to something just right, then not doing it because I can't do it perfectly. So what . . . I'm out a few bucks and some time. It's not like my family is depending on me to grow the winter food supply. It's a-rose-a-therapy! Kinda like that.
I'm glad I came across this thread. About two weeks ago, I stuck three Oklahoma cuttings as a joke into the potting soil, and one of them has successfully rooted (original plant is grafted and in the same container). I'm hoping it grows large enough by April 2012 to be planted outdoors in the garden.
Oh the shame! I rooted Dr. Huey! When I took cuttings evidently my friend didn't know to cut off suckers and I didn't think to only take cuttings from blooming stems. No wonder these cuttings grew!
One of the cuttings bloomed yesterday and the flower has little scent, only 15 petals, and looks just like the Dr. Huey pics. The little plants have few thorns, too.
The bloom is pretty. I like the dark red petals and the yellow stamens. Not quite Oklahoma, though.
The experiment last summer was a success in so far that it gave me confidence to plant some more cuttings this spring. A few of them are growing, and since they are all from my plants KNOW they are not rootstock! I will try that Oklahoma again AFTER I prune my friend's plant while it is blooming to make sure I don't get the good Dr.

He treated us with respect and couldn't have been treated us better if we were purchasing your best RV. Charlie was kind and patient in answering our questions. There was no high pressure but he is a salesman and did a great job. In the future we will look to Hilmerson's for our next purchase and will ask for Charlie.
Sincerely and Many Thanks,
Ken & Kathleen Nelson

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
14 Jun 2011 10:13 GMT | Sport, Football, Russia
Ruud Gullit has been told he has to win his next match in charge of Chechen side Terek Grozny or lose his job.
The team's president said on Tuesday that the former World Player of the Year was more interested in bars and discos than getting to grips with Terek Grozny's poor position in the Russian Premier League.
The leader of Russia's Islamic Chechnya region, Ramzan Kadyrov, is the president of Terek, who languish 14th in the 16-team league. "Today we must acknowledge that Gullit has not justified the hopes of the club's leadership," a statement on the club's website said.
It added that the Dutchman refused to accept any blame for poor performances and would be fired if they did not win on Tuesday at Ankar Perm.
Instead of rolling up his sleeves and working to improve the team's league position, Gullit was "thinking about bars and discotheques," it added.
"Considering all this, Ramzan Kadyrov is presenting Ruud Gullit with the task of bringing back three points from Perm. In the event of the opposite outcome, Gullit will be dismissed from the position of head coach."
When Gullit was signed to an 18-month contract at the start of the year, Kadyrov said his task was to help the club qualify for European competition at the end of the 2011-2012 season.
The statement said that the team, who finished 12th last year, had "never looked so hopeless" as it did in Gullit's 12 games in charge.

What style table is this?
Is this "revival" or potentially a 'real' farm table? Seller says it was bought at an antique store. She thinks it's solid oak or maple.
Here is a link that might be useful: solid wood table
I think it's a plain old early 1900s kitchen/small dining table. 1920s-30s maybe? I don't know but I don't think it's new. I love those things. They're just classics, you know? I'd be surprised if it wasn't solid wood, but it's possible to have a nice veneer on top. Just find a nice knot or swirl on the top and see if you can find the other side on the bottom.
I don't think that particular style was "revivaled" (revived?) but it was probably a revival of something or other way back when. More refined than what is usually passed off as a farm table, but I'm sure farmers wouldn't appreciate that sort of comment. :)
It's not a real "old" farm table....they never had hidden leaves....the leaves came out.
I grew up with a table just like that....think it was new in probably about 1935.....and I think my brother is still using it. Most likely it's solid maple....ours was.
Linda C
The saga of my table continues. Here is another table. The seller states that the extension leave (inside) is a very different wood and does not match the rest of the table. He doesn't think the table is veneer. Any guesses?
Here is a link that might be useful: another table
Not "old"...much more formal than the other table...top could be solid....don't know....but perhaps it has been re finished and the leaves have not? Says it's 57 inches on the side....will your chairs fit?
Don't know what style you are looking for...but a bedestal or even a dual pedestal table without much of an apron will likely work well for you....like an old oval drop leaf oak farm table.
Like I've linked...but the linked one has no leaves.
Here is a link that might be useful: table
Thanks so much for the advice. You're right that the second table probably won't work with my chairs.
Found yet another table, which similar to the one you posted although it's too small for my dining area. The seller measured it incorrectly, and the extension leaf is broken. However, it could be cool for my breakfast area (unextended).
Here is a link that might be useful: old drop leaf table
I don't know really what you're after, but I'd check out this one: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/fuo/3229069021.html (I'd pass on the buffet cuz it's not my style.)
Although this is kinda cool.... http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/atq/3215687745.html
I've been looking for a used table to withstand kids better than my "nice" table and bigger than my kitchen table and I've really been all over the place in terms of table styles. I think I love tables!
I'm looking for a solid table, about 60 inches long that's extendable to about 7 feet or a little more. The apron must be so that a tall person doesn't bump his knees, and there needs to be space for two fairly large chairs on the long side, i.e. more than 50 inches. It should be rustic, so I don't freak out if someone adds a scratch.
Here's an option, http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/fuo/3252611161.html
What I really look for is something like the ones below without the price tag.

What's the best episode of all-time?
by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 12th 2009 3:32PM
I don't mean of one particular show, I'm talking about the best episode of any TV series? Not an easy thing to do. Just think of how many shows and how many episodes we've had in 60+ years. The new issue of TV Guide is out, and while the full list of the 100 best episodes isn't online yet (here are #'s 100-81), we do know some episodes in the top ten (TV Guide did a similar issue back in 1997).
The number one ep? "The Contest" from Seinfeld. "Chuckles Bites The Dust" from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and "Opie The Birdman" from The Andy Griffith Show are up there too, as is the pilot episode of Lost and the "College" episode of The Sopranos. What's the first episode that comes to mind when you think of great TV?

... i could see out the window so i tried my best to stay awake to watch take off and honestly i cannot remember much about take off haha after a little nap i woke up and was hoping we were half way yeah not at all 10.5 hrs to go. UGH! i was so anxious to get home. Finally after watching the countdown it said 1hr. I think it was the longest hour of my life. and bam the pilot came on and said we were about to land that we were suppose to buckle up! i had no problem buckling up. I ...
... often in Atlantic Canada and we noticed that no-one (except us) wore raincoats - they just wore their everyday clothes and didn't hurry to avoid getting put of the rain - guess they're used to it.....
We saw very few signs of poverty, even in big cities. There appears to be more of a middle class in Canada, although there certainly are some wealthy Canadians - we drove by many huge estates on our travels.
Our stay at Yogi at Shangri-La

Also they have hundreds of picnic tables to use for free and lots of people were bringing in their food. Really a nice park and it was full of families having fun.

An elderly Aunt, and an old Brewery.
... visit with her and her daughter, Denise. She was born the same year, 1937, as my sister Pat so she is about 77. I know I met her as a kid, but really have no memory of doing so. So why was I going? Partly because of my genealogical research, and partly out of respect for family. I have never been one to keep in touch, so this was an opportunity I did't want to miss. Aunt Dolores was my mother's half-sister, another Carlson. Papa ...

We had a wonderful stay at Annette's place. It was a cosy, very clean, tidy and comfortable unit, and key pickup was a breeze. It included everything we needed for cooking and laundry, and was a comfortable unit to just hang out and watch a movie on those lazy days. The location was perfect - a nice quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to two great areas and easy connections to the city and other areas. I highly recommend Annette's apartment and we hope to stay here again in the future.
Annette's flat is neat as a pin, very close to Lygon Street, quiet, and well appointed. The best part was Annette herself. Though we did not meet, she left us a great list of recommendations, easy instructions and was fantastic communicating with me throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend this flat, and Annette as a host. Next time I'm staying in Brunswick, I will definitely see if this place is available! Thanks Annette!
Annette's house was exactly what we expected and needed. It was very cosy, comfortable, and clean. She made it quite clear that we could use whatever we needed, which shows how trustworthy she was. Annette was available via email to answer any queries we had. Her flat is very close to tram transport in Sydney Road, only 15 min. from the city, close to shops, restaurants etc. We even made friends with her neighbours. The surrounding streets are full of renovated old Australian homes, which gave the area a very special charm. Overall we are completely satisfied, and would love to repeat the experience in her home again. Thanks Annett for everything.
I really enjoyed staying at Annette's cute,well appointed and conveniently located apartment.
I was able to easily get in touch with both Annette and her sister Jacqui to organize my arrival time and getting the key. I love Annette's retro decor and found the flat very liveable and appreciated details such as a power board right by the bed ready to easily recharge my phone. There was also a fan in the loungeroom which was useful on one of the hotter days.
I found it to be nice and quiet with virtually no noise from the flats next door or above or the street.
There is a corner store just over the road which was very handy for getting some groceries. Being situated between Lygon St and Sydney Road was great as you could walk easily either way and find good eating places and shops and trams into the city. The big costume shop on Lygon St was handy as I needed some flapper gear for a birthday party. Sydney Road had some great op shops.
I was able to check out quite late which suited my plans for that day. All in all a great place to stay and get the feel of life in a vibrant, inner city suburb.
Great little (email hidden)ry comfy. Suited our needs perfectly. While we did not meet Annette, our prior communication was excellent and we had no problems finding the address. Very good location close to everything. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, tram stop etc...
Would recommend Annettes listing to anyone wanting accommodation so close to CBD. Lyn & Tom NSW
Annette was an awesome host! Even though she wasn't around to meet us she made sure we had everything we needed and her sister made us feel right at home. Couldn't ask for better :)
While I never met Annette, she was very friendly and her flat is in a perfect spot, close to everything. We moved from QLD and needed a place to stay while we found somewhere to live. We ended up moving just up the road, because the location was so good. Cheers Annette.
We found this to be a perfect spot to base ourselves for our trip to Melbourne. The flat is compact but very lovely and had everything we needed. It is close to public transport so easy to get around (about 15 minutes into the city centre by tram) There are shops and quite a few restaurants close by too.
Annette was very helpful and accommodating and always easy to contact.
A comfortable , and very clean, non-smoking apartment , located in a cosmopolitan part of Melbourne. Conveniently close to public transport ( tram and train) and a good place to access Melbourne University.
Annette was a delight to host! She was super easy to communicate with and let us know her travel plans in advance so that we could prepare for her! She was also very clean and left our apartment in stunning condition - not to mention that she left a bottle of Pinot and some delightful chocolates!!!! A++++ guest - don't hesitate to host Annette.
What a lovely guest! It was like they weren't even there. When we did see them they were fun, chatting and interesting. Very considerate and courteous.
Communication was easy, proactive and hassle free.
Very nice and polite. I would recommend her anytime.
Annette est une locataire très sympathique et respectueuse!
Je recommande :)
Annette and get friend were wonderful guests. They left the place on perfect condition. Thank you and always welcome.
We loved having Annette staying! we only wished she could have stayed a bit longer :) very charming and courteous person, we can highly recommend her.
All was very simple with Annette. She made a short stay in Lyon but I have good memories of her visit. She left the room in a very good condition.
Annette is awesome and we really enjoyed having her stay. Lots of fun to chat with, really cool, very funny and hope to see her again. Highly recommended. In fact, we'd totally ask her to move in if she lived here.
Annette was a charming young person, what a dream guest, shame i wasn't a lot at home to spend more time with her.
Annette is a very friendly woman and interested in Dutch (artistic) life. Communication was perfect. She left the cottage clean and neatly. I would definitely recommend her!

Avoiding Chaos Amongst Survivors
By Floyd Murphy, CFP, CLU, CHFC, The Nakamun Group, Vancouver
When somebody dies, family and friends want to do something to help the closest loved one(s), and with the best of intentions can inadvertently cause estate chaos. An action-oriented relative might take on notifying the deceased's banks, others might contact credit card companies, insurance holders, and government agencies. In the pressure of the moment, the closest survivor might reveal financial information not normally shared with others, and later regret having done that. As helpful as these people mean to be, they could create unnecessary problems or leave tasks only partially completed without follow-up. Having an executor doesn't prevent this kind of chaos.

Beware… A Life Insurance Scam
By R.A. (Bob) Challis, CFP, RHU, TEP, The Nakamun Group, Winnipeg
A new scam has surfaced in Canada. Anyone who owns, plans to purchase, or even has no interest whatsoever in life insurance can be targeted. Be suspicious of anyone offering to pay your premiums for life insurance or give you money in connection with a life insurance application. There are catches.
A Look Back… and a Look Forward
By Greg Farries, BSC, The Nakamun Group, Calgary
In 2014, interest rates continued their long-term decline, with ten-year Government of Canada bonds ending the year with a yield at about two percent. Equity markets continued to rise from their lows in 2009.
This all happened against a backdrop of mounting concerns about economic growth in Europe, sliding oil and gold prices, a slowing China, a floundering Japan, the end of quantitative easing in the US, the emergency of ISIS in the Middle East, and rising fears regarding the outbreak of Ebola.
So what's ahead?

Workshop is aimed at preparing the faculty members to take IBM's certified database associate exam which will be mandatory for those who aspire for a career in IBM
The software major IBM organised a workshop on the Vignan University campus in Guntur and certified 49 faculty members, an achievement being cherished by the teaching and student community alike.
The IBM software group through its academic initiative conducted a three-day Faculty Development Programme on "IBM Technologies in general and DB2 in particular" for the faculty of Vignan's Engineering institutions on University's Vadlamudi campus.
Workshop aimed at preparing the faculty members to take IBM's certified database associate exam which according to IBM Information Technology Specialist Saravanan Sekar, would be mandatory for those who aspire for a career in the IBM in near future.
Company's senior trainer Niladri from academic initiative programme explained the participants the basic concepts of database management systems like relations, schemes, views, procedures, triggers and mapped with existing features of DB2.
He also gave the participants hands on experience on rich and varied functionality of the DB2. The IT specialist conducted an on-line certification test, at which 49 participants comprising faculty and recently passed out students could become certified database associates of DB2.
The IBM extends all kinds of support to the institute to train the students for DB2 certification through the certified teachers, said Mr. Saravanan.
He also said that the IBM not only considers DB2 certified persons for their own requirements but also shares the profiles of associates with its 4,200 strong clientele across the world.
The IBM's academic initiatives like free certification exam and Great Minds Challenge, a platform to showcase the budding engineers' talents, were explained to students.

Image used for Campaign magazine (4th May, 2007:32)
Friends of the Earth 'Green Film Competition':
I set up my photo shoot for the juicy fruit that is the Kiwi fruit, and I spotted this 'animal' in the core of the fruit.
How I did it? I used my flexible desk lamp (100W) and set that on a chair with the lamp tilting upwards. I then placed the chair next to a table and then balanced a clear, saucepan lid over the edge (thus the lamp light would be under the lid) and place a 5mm slice of Kiwi onto the lid to get the backlight coming through the seeds.
If you would like to publish any of my photographs, please contact me and state the publication details and requirements.
belgiumpsy, Sharon Mollerus, and 83 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Sometimes working with macros can be a daunting task. We are so not used to see things that close, that at first everything we capture feels interesting. But I think this macro is really beautiful. Your subject here is wonderful, and even more pretty with this soft, vivid light. I like off-centered composition. The negative space gives more importance to the seeds. I like it, it feels refreshing and original compared to many macro shots. The colors are amazing. Very crisp and detailed image. A beautiful shot. Nice work.
Rating #7:
Rated 8 out of 10 in the 100 Points group.
I like the creativity. The colors are very attractive, and I like the great patterns made by the kiwi. Good colors, with contrasting black seeds.As far as the crop, I feel the left is ok, I would actually like a little more left in top and bottom, to allow a complete set of the seeds.
Rating #8:
Rated 8 out of 10 in the 100 Points group.
Rating #9:
I can definitely see the dancing bear here. This is a really nice shot. Love the colors, and the composition -- I don't think I'd follow the suggested crop if it were my photo.
The thing that would make it complete for me, is seeing more of the seeds at the top -- I'm a nut for symmetry and it just seems a bit lacking without them.
Thanks for taking us through your procedure for capturing this shot. I love reading about the inventive things people do to try something a little different.
Rated 9 out of 10 in the 100 Points group.
Wonderful shot. I really like the colour and the abstract treatment of the fruit. This would probable look great as abstract art printed onto canvas.
I think that the suggested crop works too although they way you have it is equally good in my opinion.
Rating #10:
Rated 9 out of 10 in the 100 Points group.
Final rating in the 100 Points group is a massive 85 Points.
Well done!
Please request entry and publish this photograph in the 80-89 Points group and thank you very much for participating in the 100 Points group.
I like this image and agree that the potential crop could help but then you wouldnt have effective use of space on the left of the image. You really could go either way on it. Nice job!
Great idea with the lamp.
Great color!
Very creative, I might give it a try :) Thanks for sharing :)
great lighting, thanks for explaining how you did it to us!! and i don't agree with the crop suggestion... i like it off-center. otherwise you just get the core of the fruit and my favorite part of the photo is the juicy quality of the left hand side.
I know that there is some cultural misunderstandings here, but I am trying to educate without being too much of a pain in the butt. Sorry if it comes off that way.
a Kiwi is either a New Zealander (human) or the native New Zealand bird. What you have photographed is called "Kiwifruit." It should never be called "Kiwi." It would be equivalent to purchasing a candle from the store "Yankee Candle," going home, and then pointing to it and telling your friends that you purchased a Yankee.
This image is fantastically vibrant - bursting with activity.
Thanks a lot for your Creative Commons license. I've used the photo on a description of a new social media composting website:
wonderful colours... it looks like a painting...
wow its like a piece of artwork!
Great photo and thanks for posting how you did it, I've been try to do something similiar and it was very helpfel. thanks

Gallery: Grow a Lush Green Garden Inside Your Furniture With FurniBloom
Looking for a fun alternative to your home or office's drab and lifeless seating? Then take a cue from the FurniBloom designed by Icelandic landscape architect Dagný Bjarnadóttir. A set of furniture sure to inspire you on a daily basis, the collection features a transparent table and stools that let you work al fresco, all while providing you with the perfect place for planting herbs, flowers and even small vegetables!
Bjarnadóttir created this blooming see-through furniture while working as a partner at Landslag, an architecture firm based in Reykjavik. Her intention was to combine a stylish, flexible and simple look with multi-functional use. Moreover, in addition to its ability to blend amicably with any existing interior decor, FurniBloom is also a great solution for those limited on space and looking to create a garden of their own in their small home.
FurniBloom has been constructed from Poly methyl methacrylate (a.k.a. plexiglas or acrylic glass), giving way to a sustainable product that is both recyclable and long-lasting.
The eye-catching design has been touring several design events including the recent edition of the quirky Icelandic initiative DesignMarch, the fantastic Stockholm Furniture Fair and last year's World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
