Pinterest. Get Smart. By Charlie Finch Noam Chomsky argues that late capitalism is about using surplus value to create products which we don't really need that clutter and confuse our lives.
What would he think of "Design and the Elastic Mind," hot curator Paola Antonelli's new exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art? Paola was the people's choice at the opening Tuesday night, where hundreds of geeks and the people who date them waited for an hour in line, extending down MoMA's escalators, to get up to the sixth floor and ogle an exhibition that resembles a trade show for security firms and would-be secret agents at your local convention center. Dan Graham and Richard Meier were among those imagining the near future of nerdvana, which is already here. Stupid ecological tricks vie with the elimination of privacy as major themes of this robotic curation. Are you paranoid? Unfortunately, the interactive elements in the "Elastic" show are not as innovative as those at, say, the Children's Museum.
Design and the Elastic Mind. Envie de glace moléculaire ? Starry Light by Anagraphic. The Starry Light, a collection of constellation lamps, comes from a collaboration between graphic designer Anna Farkas, of Anagraphic, and interior designer Miklós Batisz based on Anna’s original idea to have a lamp as a piece of art.
The Budapest duo were able to craft a functional light but also one that projects the starry night sky through the holes of the half hemispheric shade. The LED light source emits beams of light up through the drillings and down onto the surface below, both at different strengths. Each Starry Light is made by hand in Budapest and features the celestial constellations of the Northern Hemisphere’s two equinoxes and solstices (you choose) but they are able to make custom constellations on request.
The fixture is available in four colors: Matte white, Glossy white, Matte black, and Pearl violet. The duo will be showing the Starry Light at Tent London 2013. 10 Ways to Boost Creativity for Design Professionals. Embodying Ethics: Endangered by Rohan Chhabra. London designer Rohan Chhabra has adapted a range of hunter jackets so they transform into models of endangered animals (+ slideshow).
For his Embodying Ethics: Endangered project, Rohan Chhabra took hunting attire and formed it into the shapes of the animals threatened by the activity. "The project aims to use design to inform the issue of extinction of critically endangered species," said Chhabra. His range includes representations of a mountain gorilla, an Asian elephant, a tiger, a saiga antelope and a rhino. All five weatherproof jackets looks similar in their original forms but Chabbra has added extra zips and poppers in different places on each, so elements can be altered and reshaped into the individual animals.

A Bag That Looks Like A Giant Binder Clip. Sometimes things still surprise me and I say, “oh!

The unusual Ghost Chair comes from ValentinaGW and is a creative, surprising seating item to have around.
Resembling an invisibility cloak, its design is quite impressive and fit for a contemporary interior with an attitude. For a chair that is just visible, it looks quite comfortable and we are certain that its uncommon looks will make it the focal point of a room. But there are some negative aspects that come with an almost transparent chair also. First off, taking it into another room when there is a party going on is advisable, as people are likely to bump into it, especially if there are some drinks involved.
The Ghost Chair is also unsuited for homes with children, unless the parents make sure that it is covered when the kids are around it. Surrealistic Furniture Unit Inspired by an Incessant Flow: Volna Table. We ran across this original table design that draws attention due to its futuristic shape and daring color palette.
Created by Turkish design firm Nüvist, Volna Table defies traditional forms. Its appearance pays tribute to irregularity and seems to be inspired by the continuous movement of matter. According to the project developers, “it was very important to create soft and serene experience in the tangible and the visual sense for this type of table design. The new technologies and the modern materials were the main ingredients for the creation and these provide us to design an unbroken continuous form. François Mangeol - Designer Plasticien.
