As someone who travels a lot I am really fed up with overpriced Hotels that usually offer less more than over decorated Hotel rooms a mini bar and a tv. When what you really would want is WiFi, a simple and not to expensive room, a nice breakfast and friendly people.
So I love this Idea:

"During a casual conversation about the upcoming 2007 IDSA conference Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky, two independent entrepreneurs with product design backgrounds, had the idea to rent out extra space in their apartment to conference attendees. They then launched a website so that other San Franciscans could list their own apartments as convenient crashpads for conference-goers. "

atmos x PORTER x Pendleton - Backpack:

The Portland, Oregon based Pendleton Woolen Mills has kept the tradition of manufacturing quality wool products since its founding in 1863. The company is wholly owned and operate by the Bishop family, the 5th generation to be exact. The company also has a long standing tradition with the Native American culture. Almost since the beginning, the company served the needs of Northwest and Southwest Native American nations. The company sets out to learn about each tribe’s culture and preference, then created colors and patterns accordingly. Its products, especially its wool blankets, are highly prized till the present time.

So for their 11th collaborations, atmos and YOSHIDA & CO., the maker of HEAD PORTER, decided on the incorporations of wool fabrics by Pendleton into limited edition backpack. Each bag’s exterior retains the quality and bold patterns found on the famous Pendleton blankets, while the interior is layered with bright fuchsia lining. There is also a series of d-rings for easy attachment of accessories. The bag comes in 2 patterns and set to release this Friday, October 12th. Currently, atmos Tokyo and eproze of ZOZOTOWN are taking pre-orders.
