Graduate shows 2015: Royal College of Art graduates Begum and Bike Ayaskan have designed a plant pot with a complex origami form, which enables it to unfold and accommodate more space for roots over time.
Growth is a collection of flowerpots made of polypropylene, machined with a computer numerically controlled (CNC) router into a cylinder made up of tessellating triangles. Each vessel can expand to over five times its original volume, either naturally as the roots push outwards or as a result of human intervention, making the process of re-potting unnecessary. A similar concept was used by designer Emanuele Pizzolorusso when creating a flexible flower pot that can double in capacity.
Dezeen sur Twitter : "These fashion mannequins "mirror how we want to see ourselves": #design... MAD exhibition celebrates Ralph Pucci's fashion mannequins. An exhibition at New York's Museum of Arts and Design celebrates the work of Ralph Pucci, whose mannequin designs chronicle changes in visual culture over more than 30 years (+ slideshow).
Ralph Pucci: the Art of the Mannequins occupies a floor of the Manhattan museum, and includes a selection of mannequins dating from the 1980s to the 2000s, as well as a mini sculptor's studio for live model-making demonstrations. "Mannequins are an important branch of creative design, and a vital element of our visual culture," explained exhibition curator Barbara Paris Gifford. "We see them every day but often glide past them, more concerned with the garments they are used to display," she told Dezeen. "In this sense they are sort of like the frames on paintings you see in museums – crucial to the visual impression but often overlooked.

The Lego Architecture Studio set comprises over 1,200 pieces of 76 unique components, from chamfered wedge-shaped blocks to simple bricks, designed to give as much freedom and creativity to the maker as possible. "Anyone with an interest in architecture can now create their own Lego original designs, as well as building mini architectural masterpieces such as the Eiffel Tower and the Trevi Fountain," said a statement from Lego. The new design, which became available in the UK and Europe for the first time this month, has eschewed Lego's typical bold primary colours for a monochromatic scheme of white and transparent elements. Building elements have been made as simple as possible and without embellishments to make them flexible for the creation of small or large-scale models. What colour is it?
Dezeen on Twitter: Reader comment: "Love them, but I'm pretty sure they'd sound like clogs" #design... Ora-Ïto's Nikeames trainer is an homage to Charles and Ray. French designer Ora-Ïto has developed a conceptual trainer with curved veneer sections to reference the work of Modernist furniture designers Charles and Ray Eames.
Ora-Ïto pays tribute to the late American couple with the Nikeames shoe design, which he imagines could be produced by sports brand Nike. The wooden sections designed to wrap around the shoe take influence from the moulded plywood shell of the Eames Lounge 670 armchair, designed for Herman Miller in 1956. "It's an an homage to Charles and Ray Eames' Lounge chair – the most famous one with the wooden shell," Ïto told Dezeen. "The idea was to make a Nike Eames, like the Nike Air but playing with the Eames, translating the language and the forms and the aesthetic of the Eames armchair into a trainer. " The shoe would be formed from two layers, with the dark wooden panels on the base, upper and heel curving around a black Goretex slipper.
"Their work is still very modern," Ïto said. Dezeen : Rectangle shoes that reveal... Rectangle shoes by Maria Nina Vaclavek reveal feet outlines. These rectangular shoes by student designer Maria Nina Vaclavek play on the contrast between geometric forms and the curving shape of the wearers feet (+ slideshow).
Maria Nina Vaclavek said that the process used to make her Rectangle shoes was based on the way early humans formed their primitive leather footwear. "I chose the first shoe ever made by man in prehistoric times to brace against cold and chafing as an inspiration," Vaclavek told Dezeen. "I based my work more on the method of fabrication than the visual aspect of the shoe. " Sfgirlbybay.
