Recession Design

Plus de 30 projets sont disponibles en ligne, sur le site Internet du collectif. Cette initiative, lancée il y a plus d’un an, s’enrichit au fur et à mesure de nouveaux modèles. Après s’être intéressés à l’environnement domestique, les designers ont également imaginé des modèles destinés au bureau, à l’école ou à l’extérieur. Cette idée simple – mettre à disposition des utilisateurs des plans gratuits – si ludique soit-elle, n’est évidemment pas novatrice, et nous avions d’ailleurs évoqué sur ce site certaines des recherches menées par le designer Enzo Mari dans les années 1970.

The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Travel food art and design: A DIY Sputnik Chandelier.

May 5th, 2011 I’ve been helping out Shelly Leer – aka ModHomeEc – with the design of her brand new upholstery workshop in Indianapolis.

The Brick House

Shelly is a fantastic upholster and hosts classes to teach folks the ins and outs of fixing up and reupholstering their old forlorn stuff (a skill I can really appreciate). With this open warehouse space, one big design issue Shelly needed help with was figuring out how to layout and define areas for various work and private “zones”. She needed areas for tools, areas for storage, an area for a personal office, a waiting area, an area to teach and work with students and so on and so forth. Functionally, this one big room had to be used for many many purposes and still be open, accessible and of course look awesome.

Luminaires design "recup" Fabriquer un abat jour avec des diapos. Il est à présent définitivement révolu le temps où l'on photographiait ses souvenirs de vacances uniquement sur diapos. Rapelez vous les soirées interminables où les copains voulaient absolument vous faire partager leurs vacances et où, plongés dans le noir vous visitiez la baie du Mont-Saint Michel ou assistiez aux premiers pas du petit dernier en vous goinfrant de cacahuètes...

Bien entendu, je vous parle d'un temps que les moins de 20 ans etc. Bref, le projecteur et les visionneuses sont aujourd'hui hors d'usage et les diapos sont toujours là, entassées au fond d'un placard.
