AIAIAI Pipe earphone in two new colors
The guys @ Aiaiai introduce a new approach to the upcoming releases of their Pipe earphones. They are gonna create 2-3 new colours of pipes every third month. The colours are inspired by things/objects or the like that have had some kind of inpact on AIAIAI crew throughout the years. The first one is inspired by the legendary Nike Air Trainer 1 tennis shoe that we’ve all – including John McEnroe – played in back in the days. It came out in 1987 as a cross trainer shoe project, but soon became a hit as a tennis shoe and it was even used in the NBA at one point. The idea and colourway has been re-launched several times, but nothing really matches the good old original one.
The second vesion of the new pipes is inspired by the one an only beer – Gold Tuborg! Also known as “the golden lady” the beer hit the danish market in 1895 and was actually meant for export markets. Instead it quickly became only a national product for the Danes – and they/we loved it.
At the old A-house, where we/AIAIAI used to have our club, we served the gold beer instead of regular pilsner and we even served it in a can (as the one you see on the picture). People loved it and soon Tuborg realized that this beer had been down-prioritized way too much through out the years. The second year of our clubs existence, we had Tuborg convinced to make us customized Gold Tuborg vending machines, which became a great success. Today these vending machines are spread all over town as an alternative to line up in the bar.

AIAIAI A-STAND
The A-stand is another cool idea from the danish guys @AiAiAi. It is designed to serve a functional and practical need in improving the ergonomic work position at your workstation. It comes in all Black, White and Yellow.
The A-Stand is based on a design by PhD Dan Steingart and serves a functional and practical need in improving the ergonomic work position at your workstation. The simple and Iconic industrial design is inspired by the use of plumbing tubes in designing anything from chairs to lamps. The idea of creating a laptop stand out of plumbing tubes was taken up by AIAIAI Lab and was further developed into it’s current design and choice of material. On sale @AiAiAi webstore.
AIAIAI X Sneaker Freaker
Our friend Jacob@Aiaiai wrote us about their first collaboration project: The AIAIAI Sneaker Freaker Pipe Headset.
The limited edition headsets are designed using the classic Sneaker Freaker corporate colours. A subtle grey speckle on the ear piece and Y-part add a clear and cool reference to sneakers. Apart from being available on AIAIAI and Sneaker Freaker webshops, they’ll soon be available in specially selected stores around the world. Exact stores will be posted over the next few weeks.
AiAiAi Z-Sleeves
The AIAIAI Z-sleeves are made in a collaboration between AIAIAI and the the young Danish fashion label ThankYouForClapping. The Sleeves consists of three layers, combined to give excellent protection for your laptop. Inside it has a smooth sports liner, which provides a soft touch. The core is neoprene, known for its chock absorbing qualities and water resistance. The outer layer makes this laptop sleeve look good, but also adds sturdiness. Whether you choose the sporty spinnaker or reflex look, the more classic and robust canvas, or the extremely durable Kevlar fabric, which should be virtually impossible to wear out! The design is simple, yet sophisticated – each layer constructed from a single piece, with a diagonal seam on the back. A heavy zipper on two sides gives easy access to your laptop. A pocket on the front, to store your charger, mouse or cables etc. A sleek, practical design with references to sports gear. Elegant, clever. An excellent match to the design of Apple notebooks. available on aiaiai.
