Photo © HEYHEYHEY V.O.W N°26 (27 June - 3 July 2011) We think of innovation and invention as highly engineered, complex systems that are built by some mad scientist in a remote space. The process results in long and layered equations, drawings and an endless source of references illustrated in a step by step process to further explain the construction of the device or machine. We have familiarized ourselves with this elaborate system through Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, even the coyote as he tries to invent ways to capture the road runner. For this week's VOW, we have brought you one of those diagrams to life.
Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine is best described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Created by studio HEYHEYHEY for the 2010 Dutch Design Week, Melvin was featured for 10 days at the MU artspace where 14,000 people came to see it perform. Sources: Melvin the Machine.

Named after Russian nesting dolls, this remarkable furniture collection packs down to just 13 square feet but includes: bookshelves, a double bed, corner couch, dinner table, four stools, working space, drawers, a wardrobe and additional storage.
Whether or not these are ever mass-produced this great step-by-step furniture photo shoot should at least inspire do-it-yourselfers to think about how you can create your own highly portable and yet remarkably simple modular furniture sets to suit your own spatial needs: THE UNDERBELLY PROJECT. Creative Oshika Packaging. Posted on February 15, 2010 by saya OMG, who would care about the gifts you’ve prepared, if you use so cute a box to package them! At least in my mind, such an innovative packaging is enough to surprise my buddies (they love everything that looks kawaii). If you have enough time, you could also follow the instructions to make some. Do enjoy it. Designer: Anna de Medeiros.
