Designers - Design. FLOS - IPNOS Flos lampada per esterni a forma di parallellepipedo. La lampada Ipnos Flos è una lampada a LED a forma di parallellepipedo costituita dai soli profili in alluminio anodizzato che si rivelano al buio. Ipnos Flos nasce dall’idea di sottrarre tutti gli elementi superflui fino ad estremizzarsi al solo perimetro, che di fatto nasconde le sorgenti luminose a LED. La lampada Ipnos Flos è quindi costituita da uno scheletro leggerissimo, fatto di sottili asticelle perimeterali in alluminio anodizzato, da cui promana una luminosità diffusa, in modo tale che dal buio emergano solo quelle pure linee di luce, lasciando vuoto lo spazio all’interno della lampada.

La lampada Ipnos Flos è disponibile in tre finiture, sia nella versione per interni che nella versione per esterni: anodizzato naturale, anodizzato nero, anodizzato bronzo. ”Sottraendo alla lanterna tradizionale gli elementi non più indispensabili è rimasta una semplice struttura metallica, supporto di invisibili sorgenti luminose.

10 femmes, 10 lieux, 10 expositions. Et beaucoup plus de raisons de découvrir toute la créativité d’un projet qui met en scène les nouvelles tendances du design. A suivre du 1er au 10 octobre à Lyon et dès maintenant en avant-première et en images… Elles sont entrepreneurs. Neufs d’entre elles dirigent des boutiques où s’exprime l’art de vivre rue Auguste Comte à Lyon. Leur consœur, Patricia Lasserre, est à la tête d’une école d’architecture d’intérieur : l’Institut Créad. Elles sont passionnées, dynamiques, créatives et elle se mobilisent pour promouvoir le design.

Curieuses, chineuses, toujours à l’affût des dernières tendances, elles ont imaginé, avec des designers, des scénographies où les couleurs, les matières, les styles, les objets se confrontent dans une étonnante harmonie. La couleur… elle est omniprésente dans ce projet dont nous avons découvert les planches et esquisses. Elle sera « primaire » en faisant appel à nos « instincts » chez Hyggelic .

Peugeot Quartz. Dévoilé officiellement pour le Mondial de Paris, découverte des premières images du concept Peugeot Quartz, une version exacerbée du SUV conjuguant innovation et sportivité. Développant près de 500 chevaux, découvrez tous les détails de la bête et la galerie photos complète dans la suite ! Gilles Vidal, directeur du style Peugeot, est fier de présenter le concept-car comme étant une représentation parfaite du style Peugeot : « la force du style Peugeot est de s’appliquer avec autant de talent à une berline qu’à un crossover, de rendre ces silhouettes passionnément désirables. » Côté conception, le Peugeot Quartz fusionne une carrosserie de SUV et une cellule de berline dans un design sculpté.

Les jantes structurelles en aluminium de 23’’, chaussées de pneumatiques Continental, s’insèrent dans les arches de roue légèrement galbées. La mécanique occupe une place de choix avec un long capot souligné d’ouïes facilitant son alimentation en air. Plus de détails en images dans la galerie.

A few weeks ago I had coffee with an experienced product designer. Let’s call him Carl. He’d been working at a respected San Francisco startup for five years, but he was getting restless. Carl had excellent experience and skills. (Heck, the guy was even a decent coder.) I fired off a few emails to several startups that were right up Carl’s alley. One was an almost perfect match — the right design challenges and aligned with Carl’s personal interests. Unfortunately, the company significantly low-balled him on the compensation. For startups, coming up with a fair offer can be difficult. At Google Ventures, we help our portfolio companies find, interview, and hire senior design talent — more than 40 top-level designers in the last two years alone. I spent a few days analyzing publicly available salary information to clarify the picture for our portfolio companies and other startups like them.

Some of the ideas are revolutionary, like the peer-to-peer network. Others are more humble like the GIF.

Among them are astounding technological achievements, new economic models, ideas that breakdown national borders, ideas that blur the boundary between generating and exchanging ideas, and ideas that have changed the world. Perhaps most important are the design breakthroughs that opened up the web to a mass audience. Without these, the web would still be the playground of engineers and computer programmers. With these, the web is a place for everyone. 1. Several of Engelbart’s team went on to develop the groundbreaking Xerox Alto.

Dossier : le design produit va-t-il transformer la communication des marques ? Par Xuoan D. il y a 9 heures Une catégorie Product Design. Telle était la nouveauté 2014 du festival des Cannes Lions, après la section Innovation de 2013. Deux catégories proches par nature : un design réussi va en général de pair avec une innovation, et une innovation forte engendre naturellement un produit. Mais surtout, pourquoi le design produit et l’innovation sont-ils désormais des sujets à Cannes ? En plein festival international de la communication ? Alors que le design produit et l’innovation ont longtemps relevé de recherches internes de l’annonceur, ou de studios et de cabinets spécialisés. Pourtant, le produit est le 1er support de communication de la marque.

Karin Fong is a director and designer at Imaginary Forces, where she directs and designs TV commercials and title sequences as well as trailers for film and television.

Her show reel includes title sequences for TV series Boardwalk Empire, Rubicon and South Park, cinematic scenes for the Sony game God of War and TV commercials for God of War Ascension and luxury brands like Lexus. Fong enjoys the variety of her job and the kind of storytelling problems that she is asked to solve. The biggest inspiration for her, in fact, comes from the story itself: “That is one of my favourite parts of the whole process; to dive deep down into whatever the subject matter is.” You can make a very immersive, emotional piece with film, she says. Most recently, Karin designed and directed the title sequence of a new series called Black Sails, shot at the Cape Film Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. The series premiered on 25 January 2014 in th US and tracks the golden age of piracy in the 18th century. About the Project. Marc Newson's Nautilus pen for Hermès features a retractable nib.

Australian designer Marc Newson has created a fountain pen with a retractable nib for French fashion house Hermès. Marc Newson collaborated with Hermès artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas to design the brand's first pen, which twists to reveal the nib. "Designing this pen was no simpler or more complicated that conceiving the inside of an aeroplane," said Newson.

"The main constraint was having to fit a complex rotating mechanism into a very small space. " Made from aluminium and stainless steel, the pen is opened and closed by turning the body. "There's nothing technological about its appearance," said Newson. "It looks easy obvious, instinctual. But it's hiding a mechanism that's part genius, part magic. " The Nautilus pen is named after Captain Nemo's submarine from the 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by French writer Jules Verne, admired by both Newson and Dumas. "Its spare, clean lines make it mysterious looking, nothing about it suggests that it's a pen," he said. Design for technology transfer training. Electrolux Design Lab 2014.

Alarm Clock Wakes You Up By Brewing You Coffee | The Mary Sue. You know how that old coffee jingle goes: “the best part of waking up is when your alarm clock puts Folgers in your cup.” Wait, that’s not how it goes? Someone should probably tell the guy who invented an alarm clock that actually does just that, then. He’s probably gonna feel pretty silly. Called “The Barisieur,” this nifty contraption was created by industrial designer Josh Renouf and first unveiled to the world at New Designers 2014. But how does it wake you up, you ask?

Only one of these weather apps is attempting to solve the real problem. There are divergent things happening in the product and interaction design community. On one hand, we have some amazing pieces of writing from the likes of Ryan Singer and Julie Zhuo, moving our craft forward. On the other hand, we have a growing number of people posting and discussing their work on Dribbble, the aggregated results of which are moving our craft backwards. This post is not about Dribbble itself, it’s about what the community on Dribbble value. I’ll use the term ‘product design’ throughout, but I’m including UX and interaction design when I do. “Looks awesome!” In the last year I’ve reviewed a lot of product design work from job applicants, at Facebook and now at Intercom, and I’ve noticed a worrying pattern.

Much of the product design work from job applicants I’ve seen recently has been superficial, created with one eye towards Dribbble. The most important product design work is usually the ugliest.
