Wow. The Reverb Chair by Brodie Neill is made with a single sheet of hand-formed mirror-polished aluminum and boy does it look nice! It probably isn’t the most comfortable of chairs, but hey, at least you can see yourself in it. And what other chair offers you that luxury, huh?

A few weeks ago, Chrome graciously provided a Chrome Warsaw bag for me to test out on the streets of New York City — to get a good feel of how tough this bag is, how much it could carry, and how much of a beating it can take on the back of a city cyclist like me. Let me just start off by saying that this bag can carry A LOT.
And that’s not exaggerating. This bag can hold so much stuff that even when I’ve packed everything that I needed into it, the bag still managed to look half full. In fact, if I ever need to know what bag can hold 12 pairs of shoes (that’s 24 individual shoes if you’re counting) then I’ve found my candidate. Or if I need to hold an entire week’s worth of groceries in one bag on my back, the Warsaw does the job exceptionally well without giving me back pain. Or if I needed to pack 3-4 individual lunch coolers into one bag (not that I ever would), I know what bag will do the job. If you aren’t getting it by now, just know that this bag holds more than I ever need in one single trip.
But that’s what makes the Chrome Warsaw so appealing to me. That it can hold more than I would ever need. And for a person like me who always wants to be prepared to carry any item of any size without worrying about it falling out of the bag when I’m biking, this is the pack I want to own and have on my back. Read on inside to see the full review.

Mekanism Skateboards, along with sculptor Olafur Eliasson (who recently installed waterfalls in NYC), have unveiled a new skateboard called “Your Mercury Ocean” that is made of 13-ply boards with a fantastic chrome finish on the top and bottom.
According to Format, only 90 of these will be produced, so expect them to sell for more than a pretty penny.

The Mid-Century Modernist has launched a new side project called Chromeography that compiles all sorts of images of chrome logos and chrome lettering on vintage vehicles and signs.
A site full of eye-candy if there ever was one. Enjoy!

Remember the Seal Line Urban Backpack that I reviewed last week? Well, Chrome just sent me a bag (along with some shoes) today that make the Urban Backpack look like a fanny pack.
Stay tuned for a full review of the bag shown above!
