Carling Acthim and Lana Mauro have made a short film about Toronto-based Castor that tells the story of their sustainable and now iconic lighting designs; Tank Light, Tube Light and Invisible Chandelier.

Improvisation Machine and Improvised Objects by Annika Frye. Annika Frye has created a manual rotational moulding machine that allows her to produce variation instead of the mass produced repetition rotational moulding is known for.
(Click the images below for full sized images) A series of rotational moulded pieces were made in the experimental production setup. Says Frye, "By using a self-made rotational moulding machine I can produce variation instead of repetition. " The moulds were made from simple geometric patterns and the material is a special plaster that hardens within a short time. "I also added wooden parts and other materials. "The Machine, for me, is more than just a tool: I designed the machine itself by using basic characteristics of a piece of furniture such as brass fittings, multiplex and steel tubes. " The Improvisation Machine and Improvised Objects will be shown at the Istanbul Design Biennial, at Adhocracy curated by Joseph Grima from October 10 to December 13, 2012. + annikafrye.de.

Photo © HEYHEYHEY In 2010, HEYHEYHEY the Dutch design studio embarked on a journey to create the biggest Rube Goldberg in current history which they named Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine. We all remember the magnitude and intricacy of this 'machine' when it launched at the 2010 Dutch Design Week - but things are different now. Melvin the Machine was too big, expensive and static. It could not travel and the demand of its popularity created certain roadblocks to the world enjoying this modern take on the Rube Goldberg machine. So after an interlude, the HEYHEYHEY team embarked on a journey to make Melvin the Machine smaller, more flexible and definitely more mobile. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine Melvin the mini Machine is specifically designed to travel the world.
