Anyone seeking relief from winter’s chill should warm up to the exuberant textile designs of Josef Frank, the great architect, artist and designer who blithely dispels any notions of Nordic design as all geometry and restraint. Frank was Austrian by birth, but Swedish by choice, and, well, lucky Sweden, we — Continue reading In this visually-saturated age, how do you ignite the imagination of a young mind?

With the right mix of words, pictures and whimsy, for starters. San Franciso-based designer Michael Mulvey has arrived at this—and quite a bit more—with a Kickstarter project that we don’t mind calling a wild idea. Mulvey, — Continue reading A pendant light, perhaps? It’s no Stendig, but design enthusiasts are taking note of this smart, purely typographic 2014 calendar, created by Danish graphic designer Kristina Krogh. Who knew that a hand mixer, a calculator and a coffee maker could command this kind of attention? Luxuries don’t have to cost the earth. Wooden Line - spotd.it. Linear, slick and wooden would probably be the three words that best describe the Troag lamp by Luca Nichetto for Foscarini.

Behind the lamp a very precise brief: a linear lamp to be used in contract but also in domestic spaces, and the not necessarily related intuition of the designer of using wood. The outcome is a hot pressed plywood piece with a simple yet very recognizable profile obtained with the use of a five axe milling machine and a big attention to details. Troag Year: 2010 Materials: plywood. A Paper Record Player : Kelli Anderson. A Paper Record Player Posted by Kelli on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 · 185 Comments I just finished up a really fun project—a paper record player wedding invitation! In the booklet-style invitation, a bit of paper-folding amplifies the sound of a sewing needle moving along the grooves of a flexidisc record. The hand-spun record yields a garbled, but scrutable listening of an original song by the couple. It requires a bit of tinkering and folding —effectively championing the inner science-nerd kid in the recipient.

So that’s what it is. Although this project really begins with Mr. Our little research and development group (comprised of the couple, me, and my better half, Daniel) propelled the project forward through myriad (and oft-disappointing) material trials. The resulting booklet is comprised of a cover, two inner pages, a letterpressed band (with instructions and a tear-off RSVP postcard), and a flexdisc on a screwpost. We never did track down the right screwposts. Related Posts. Video Game Trailers for Wii, PSP, Xbox, PS3 & More | Upcoming Video Games.

Here a little background. Over 15-years I am useing WACOM products now. From the purple Intuos Tablets, 15″ PL-Series during my studies that I carried with me around the globe in a Peli-Case, to various Cintiq`s.

Yes, even one of the first Tablet-MAC`s called MODBOOK – 13″MacBook with a WACOM screen on top. For sure I-Pad and even I-Phone sketching had to be tested. The I-Pad was sold quite fast again, as it just didn’t feel right to me. So, I finally got stuck with my 21″UX WACOM Cintiq. But – when I´m on the run I was missing a digital sketching device lately.

HERE comes the Wacom Companion! I tried the Companion Hybrid – but send it back, as it just didn’t feel right. SO – two days later I received the COMPANION with WINDOWS. Stay tuned! Mobi Electric Folding Wheelchair by Jack Martinich. The Mobi electric folding wheelchair is a powered mobility device designed to meet the lifestyle requirements of our aging population. Mobi reflects the future of products for an aging population. Stylish and convenient, it offers urban mobility alternative to bulky, generic electric scooters. For added versatility, the design of the wheelchair features an innovative folding mechanism that allows it to be folded up and stored and transported in a vehicle without any need for disassembly. To encourage user independence and promote the user to be physically active, Mobi electric folding wheelchair is controlled similarly to a traditional manual wheelchair; the user pushes on the hand rims.

However, force sensors in the hand rims detect the user’s physical exertion and add additional power to the wheels. Designer : Jack Martinich (Monash Uni, Caulfield) Dimensions: 700x700x500mm.

By Sean Smith, Hell for Leather The Vespa Quarantasei (46 in Italian) is a concept inspired by the 1945 MP6 prototype.

Times have changed, though, and engine technology has made significant advances in the last 65 years. Although the Quarantasei is a styling concept, its engine is the real deal. [partner id="hellforleather"]The new hyphen-filled motor is an air-cooled, fuel-injected three-valve four-stroke. It’ll be available in two displacements: A 125 cc putting down 11.6 horsepower and 7.6 pound-feet of torque or a 150 cc good for 13 ponies and 9.3 pound-feet. So why’s it air-cooled?

Water pumps and radiators are expensive and scooters are supposed to be cheap. Looking at the shapes and textures of the concept, it’s easy to be reminded of your girlfriend’s Venus razor. The bars are swept clean of anything unnecessary and end in wing-shaped LED turn signals. Photos: Vespa. Infographic Of The Day: Why Should You Care About Typography? I have a confession to make. There was a time, many years ago, where I thought that typography was fashion by another name.

I didn't really appreciate how different typefaces function, and how the discipline evolved over time, under pressure from aesthetics and technology. And it makes me particularly red-faced to remember that I once flaunted that ignorance, going so far as to tell a noted creative director that bit about type as fashion. If only I'd known! If only I'd had this infographic!

Created by someone who only calls themselves Noodlor, it does a pretty superb job laying out the basics of typography, such as the common types of faces, ranging from regular to condensed, and the anatomy of letterforms. There's also the very keen nugget of wisdom that 95% of graphic design is actually typography.

From there, we get into more subtle territory: The basic principles of layout, which begins with the basics of direction, contrast, and rhythm: I Believe in Advertising | ONLY SELECTED ADVERTISING | Advertising Blog & Community. STV - Illogic A01 Art Print by Gianmarco Magnani. Luminous Mushroom | Lighting+Installation Design News. Iris Van Herpen Spring Summer 12 Couture Collection. Iris Van Herpen's vision of an earthy, techno-futurism translates into sensuous, otherworldly forms that push the boundaries of construction, materially and couture itself.

It is Van Herpen's ingenious use of technology combined with master craftsmanship that give her garments their deceptively organic feel. The show opened with her signature exoskeleton dress, this time made from hundreds of iridescent semi-circular pieces of plexiglas, modeled first on a computer, and later number-coded and hand-stitched onto the garment.

The outcomes of her experimentation with materials and technology is downright mesmerizing. Her other pieces included garments made from unconventional materials such as latex, silk layered under very fine plastic filaments, and even synthetic boat rigging. And, just in case you were wondering, the shoes aptly titled the Fang are a collaboration with United Mood. E c c o * e c o. BIJOU_CONTEMPORAIN_JEWELRY. Matthew Lyons Retro-Futuristic Illustrations.

Interview with Dietmar Koering of Arphenotype & Horhizon | 3D-DREAMING "Architecture from a digital point of view" Alright guys, this week we talked to an old friend of ours, Dietmar Koering. Dietmar is an architect, a researcher and a visionary. His work has been widely published everywhere and I had the personal honor to get to know him when I was still a student back in London.

I am glad to have had this opportunity as his work can differ from a project to another for so many aspects. His vision of architecture is something beyond what we normally study in architecture universities. Enough talking, seat back, read this interview and enjoy! 3D-Dreaming: Thank you Dietmar to have taken the time to do this interview with me! So, tell us a bit more about yourself! Dietmar Koering: Thank you guys for this chance you gave me! We (me and another bunch of architects designers and visionaries) founded "Horhizon" in 2008 as well as Arphenotype. In the 2009 to 2010 I was holding the Jaap Bakema Fellowship by the NAI / A10. To sum it up: Genotype + Environment + Random Variation = Phenotype.
