A little more than a week ago designer/ entrepreneur Joe Gebbia sent us some cereal for consideration. In addition to being a designer (see his work here for CITIZEN:citizen) Joe is one of the founders of AirBed & Breakfast, an innovative service for peer to peer lodging. To promote the online service he had some fun and made a promotional cereal to capture the spirit of the day. The Obama O's and Cap'n McCains are limited edition, only 500 of each were created and they're all numbered. We asked you to leave a comment and answer the question "tell us what your favorite cereal is and why" for a chance to win a set of boxes. Today is the day we announce the winner. Joe was the judge, says Joe, "I'd go with the longest, more constructive post; Terry Scott's". Congrats to Terry, we will be contacting you shortly to send you your cereal.

Galerie Judy Straten was home to the work of Friso Dijkstra and Frederik Molenschot during Dutch Design Week 2008. There were several pieces by Dijkstra, including the Sturdy chair, the Stratum table, the Ray table, and Barca. Bladeren, the colourful modular leaf installation by Frederik Molenschot filled the gallery, along with his Solid Poetry collaboration with Susanne Happle, a piece that involves water reactive concrete.

For Paul Coudamy the challenge was to put together an office for Beast (an ad agency). Working on a one-month timeline with a restricted budget, Coudamy needed to come up with solutions for workspaces for 20, storage and meeting spots. The answer was 4cm thick water resistant honeycomb cardboard that was mounted only with wood glue and tape. All of the pieces are modular, so the office can be reconfigured as needed. An interesting feature is the meeting box, a confessional sort of nook that offers easy privacy.

MoCo correspondent Jesper Larsson shares his views of Tokyo Design Week with us over the next few days. First off he attended the Protoype Exhibition02, where work such as the Spiral Lamp by Chris Kirby and the hoop/pool/loop by In Design were on display. There were various versions of the Ellipse by Keiji Ashizawa, along with Topography by Thomas Antonietti and Nest by AN Architects, which is designed for galleries as display space. The Ch-Bed-Air by Yuichiro Yamanaka is a daybed-chair hybrid, and Stow by Leif.design park, a combination of ceramics and rattan. The Paper Size Tote by Miki Sakai is inspired by paper one way, but the Clover Chair by Drill Design actually uses coloured sheets of paper in between plywood. Also shown was Just Insert by Ben Nagaoka, among many more inspirational designs that get the ball rolling.

+ Wiebenson & Dorman Architects' d'House addition and renovation at Arch Daily, "An addition and renovation to this pseudo-colonial house utilizes modern forms and materials, improves circulation, allows for abundant natural light and includes complete living facilities on one level.'.

+ Johnston Marklee & Associates' Hill House at Arch Daily, "designed under challenging conditions generated by modern problems of building on a hillside. Located in Pacific Palisades, California, while the site for the house offers panoramic views from Rustic and Sullivan Canyons to Santa Monica Bay, the irregularly shaped lot is situated on an uneven, downhill slope."

Above, a Tripod Plug and Play house being assembled, "The principle of separating served and servant spaces is utilized by creating a mechanical "core" that acts as a motherboard that is able accept multiple "pods" that are living, cooking, and sleeping spaces.

+ Kishimoto Kazuhiko's House in Yugawara at Wallpaper. Via Materialicious.

It should come as no surprise that bicycle designs are regular features in Eindhoven. Kid Balance by Niels Smeltink is a scooter that transforms into a bicycle with the push of a panel, and the 2cycle by Menno Kroezen is a new twist on a tandem that makes double riding more companionable. Other sights spotted by Huibert van Muilwijk included the Curiosity Cabinet by Jon Stam, Sunday Roast tableware by Annemiek Dovee, and the Obsession/Control Obsession table by Nadia Pedreschi. As well, there were pieces by Sander Lucas, Maarten Baptist, Mieke Cuppen and Just Design: Tok. A particularly fetching display consisted of the Captured View glasses by Isabelle Scholtemeijer atop Lotte van Laatum's Tree Cabinet.

Jonas Wagell's flatpack, prefab Mini House was developed as a response to the increase in size allowed for an extra house on a single property in Sweden. The permitted size is 15 sq. meters, but Wagells' Mini House appears more spacious because a permit-free pergola is attached to the enclosed space. The sliding door connects inside and outside, and the porch functions as a canopied outdoor room. There are various modules available (sleep unit, cook unit, sauna module, etc) that are made to fit inside the Mini House. Wagell is also an industrial designer with a variety of products to his name, such as the Symbiosis Lamp, the Tilt collection of glassware and the Ängby line of outdoor furniture.

Ronen Kadushin's Hard Copies collection of furniture and lighting features limited edition designs of a simple flatpack nature. The elegance of these pieces lends itself well to gallery display, but Hard Copies are also Open Design, which means that the designs can be downloaded from Kadushin's website and produced by anyone interested. Kadushin encourages modification and redistribution and only asks that producers share revenues from commercial use.

Daniel-Emma Design Studio focused on shapes during 100% Design London. Daniel and Emma presented a fan, a radio, a table, a dinner set and a cupboard that used a square, a triangle, a circle and a pentagon. Jo Cope's Storage Arm cried out for attention, but her Self-Extension bag was more subtle. To hold, the user must insert her hand right into the bag to grasp the handle. This bag also can be laid out as a mat. There are fewer than few commercial design studios in Poland and DBWT is one of them. The Onion Lights by Daria Burlinska was one of the DBWT displays. Libelle Decor was also on hand with a variety of lighting with influences that ranged from classical to organic.
