Bobino … cordially convenient!
January 29, 2010
A 21st century invention, the Bobino was designed with those all too familiar, chaotic cord clusters in mind. Suitable to use with ipods and mp3 players, mobile phone ear buds, chargers and computer cables. The Bobino transforms those knotted, confusing balls of cord into colourcoded convenience.
There are an assortment of Bobino colours and sizes to use for every situation. Designate a colour to each family member so you can grab your neatly wrapped, easily distinguished, phone charger hassle free from the kitchen drawer. Use the large size Bobino to tie up rogue computer cables under your work desk, and use the medium sized Bobino in your car for your phone, ipod and GPS.
Some of the key features of the Bobino are it’s flat profile, so cords will be wrapped up effectively without turning into huge balls of cable. And secondly, the two ends of Bobino are easily pushed open to allow the cord to be wound and unwound effortlessly.
Simple and effective design, how did we live without them?

Once again, Urban Attitude has pushed the boundaries of the shopping experience! Notorious for its groundbreaking curved walls and wild novelty gifts and home wares, Urban Attitude’s original flagship store in Melbourne’s leisure zone, Acland St, St Kilda, has attracted a cult following over it’s ten year history.
Acland St store
This time around in their new store, the whole shop changes colour! The cleverly designed store, situated right in the heart of Chapel St, uses LED lights, the newest technology in highly efficient, long life lighting, creating a wall of colour that has to be seen to be believed. The whole wall changes through a spectrum of moods and colours from a red glow to a cool blue. This shop glows brightly amongst the increasingly generic, bland and homogenised shopping landscape.

What makes Urban Attitude an unforgettable and addictive experience that leaves a huge grin on your face, is the mesmerising blend of exclusive, fun, crazy gifts ideas, all contained inside two of the most original fit outs ever seen in Melbourne. It is so exciting in Urban Attitude you never know where to look next.
