Un kit per le emergenze firmato Nendo.
Terremoti, alluvioni, epidemie, guerriglia urbana.
Le nostre città sono sempre più vulnerabili e soggette a eventi imprevedibili, che si tratti di catastrofi climatiche o di attacchi terroristici. Sul tema deve aver riflettuto lo studio Nendo, che ha appena presentato il progetto Minim+Aid, rifacendosi anche alla storia del Giappone (dove lo studio opera), che ha dovuto affrontare numerosi disastri naturali e dove ogni volta la popolazione ha resistito continuando a ricostruire le proprie comunità.
Così lo studio ha pensato di sviluppare un kit di emergenza versatile, utile per una varietà di situazioni, che include il minimo indispensabile al cittadino medio per sopravvivere nei casi in cui ci si trovi improvvisamente senza acqua, elettricità e connessioni. La radio è dotata di funzionalità di carica manuale, utilizzabile anche per ricaricare lo smartphone, la lanterna o altri dispositivi tramite USB. Facile da trasportare, Minim+Aid può essere indossato a tracolla. Mind-Bending Lamps By Studio Cheha. The designers behind Tel Aviv-based Studio Cheha create unique lamps that are optical illusions.

The 16th century ‘Kintsugi’, or ‘Kintsukuroi’, is a repairing technique that celebrates the broken item’s rich history by decorating its cracks instead of hiding them. This is done by applying a mixture of urushi (lacquer resin), rice glue, and powdered gold, silver, or platinum. No two Kintsugi patterns are the same, with each golden stream’s path depending on the extent and pattern of the break. The method gives the broken pottery piece new life and identity, making it good as new – sometimes better than the original, even. The video below was created by Greatcoat Films in London.
