De Otter Creations, a Netherlands-based marketing and creative agency, uses light to create immersing environments it calls B[eye]t (pronounced “Bite”). The company’s designers work with planners to develop audiovisual content, which can be static or moving, then project it onto custom-made tables. And here’s where it gets interesting: Using infrared cameras, B[eye]t allows attendees to interact with the projections—moving graphics around the table, or trading promotional materials between place settings. Overhead and wall projections can create an even more indulging effect. Standard tables seat 10 to 14 people, while banquet tables, which can double as a catwalk or stage (hint hint), accommodate as many as 150.

Blowup Things, the U.K.-based firm that designs, manufactures, and rents inflatable structures, has just launched a new illuminated light bulb-shaped sculpture equipped with an internal LED system. The whimsical, old-school shape of an incandescent bulb makes for a suitable reference point at trade shows. (We'll leave it up to you to come up with a clever variation on a "bright idea" theme.)

Simply take a solid colored piece of furniture and add crystals to the cushions to transform plain to old hollywood glamour. This trend is most popular in Los Angeles and Miami; and now HoneyCreme brings it to Houston.

The Kickback

If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig. – Woodrow Wilson

The Shoot2Score Hoops Foundation is far from being a selfish prig, with giving back to the community and helping young individuals progress in life, they have set the standard.

Shoot2Score was founded in 2008 by Marcus Sloan, a graduate of Eisenhower High School and Texas Christian University; where he was a 4-year letterman for the Horned Frogs. He currently plays professionally for Fribourg Switzerland, and in starting Shoot2Score, looks to help young people empower themselves with the necessary tools to make their dreams and goals attainable.

On Sunday, August 9, 2009 Marcus Sloan hosted “The Kickback” at The Tipping Point. The HoneyCreme Team attended the fundraiser in which proceeds from the event helped the organization purchase school supplies for Houston area kids.
