Minus Manhattan. Designstudios | PhilcoPC. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : December 2009 SchultzeWORKS designstudio (www.schultzeworks.com) of Pasadena, CA is proud to announce its top three placement in a recent design competition with their “radical reinvention of the personal computer,” titled ‘Philco PC.’ The competition was sponsored by ASGVIS, makers of V-Ray for Rhino, the 3D rendering technology for the Rhino modeling software used to create the project. The design of the “Philco PC” was inspired by the 1950′s design classic Philco Predicta, as well as an eclectic mixture of modern minimalism, the steampunk movement, and antiques. As lead designer Dave Schultze explains, “The result is a design aesthetic that blends multiple elements of the familiar, but with some surprisingly fresh styling that just so happens to house a state-of-the-art Windows 7 PC.”
SchultzeWORKS designstudio was founded by Dave Schultze in 1997. Dave Schultze, Owner, SchultzeWORKS designstudio 626-440-1934 | dave@schultzeworks.com 107 S. Minus Manhattan. Colorful Umbrellas Magically Float in Mid-Air. Flickr photographer Patrícia Almeida recently shot these great photos of a wonderfully whimsical umbrella art installation in Portugal. Like something out of a fairy tale, the umbrellas look almost like they're magically floating in mid-air. As she writes, "In July, in Águeda (a Portuguese town), some streets are decorated with colorful umbrellas. I felt like a kid, amazed by all that color!
" She calls it Umbrella Sky. Love this kind of outdoor art. Update: According to the Daily Mail, this installation is an initiative by the council in Agueda, Portugal and is a part of an art festival called Agitagueda. In addition to those photos, here are some by Diana Tavares. Gorgeous, isn't it? Colorful Umbrellas Magically Float in Mid-Air. Mais um exemplo de que "Portugal é o melhor destino".
