Made from a Single Piece of Plywood, This Chair Redefines Simplicity : TreeHugger
Photo: Alex Davies At the Meet My Project design exposition in Paris this week, simplicity was a major theme: boiling down products to their basics to get the most out of the materials used to make them. That's especially true of the work presented by Naruse Inokuma Architects , a young Japanese design office. The group created the From One Sheet chair (even the name is simple and straightforward): an armchair made from a single sheet of plywood, cut, bent, and held together by a single steel rod. Yuri Naruse and Jun Inokuma explain their work:
Tree of Life | Ignant
Das ‘Tree of Life’ Poster sieht von weitem wie ein Querschnitt eines Baumstammes aus. Bei genauerem Hinsehen erkennt man jedoch, dass es sich bei den schwarzen Kreisen nicht um Holzringe, sondern um hunderte verschiedene Silhouetten von Tieren handelt. Das Projekt soll auf die Abholzung des Regenwaldes und die damit verbundene Zerstörung des Lebensraumes der Tiere aufmerksam machen. Den Print könnt ihr hier für 45 Dollar kaufen.World Map Made from Recycled Computers (7 Pictures) > Design und so, Netzkram, Sculptures, urban art > components, macs, old compoter, pcs, university, world map
Besser kann man alte Computer-Kompenenten vermutlich nicht recyclen: die britische Künstlerin Susan Stockwell hat diese riesige Weltkarte aus alten Motherboards, Verkabelung, Ventilatoren, Platinen und Whatnots für die University of Bedfordshire zusammengebastelt. 2010 hat sie mit dem Sammeln begonnen und ist jetzt gerade fertig geworden. Papier kann sie übrigens auch. “UK-based artist Susan Stockwell recently completed this gigantic world map made from recycled computer components for the University of Bedfordshire.”
Matt Wisniewski | EMPTY KINGDOM You are Here, We are Everywhere
Matt Wisniewski is a pretty impressive guy…being that he’s a super smart web developer based in Brooklyn, New York, USA who also makes pretty awesome photo-collages and digitally manipulated photo pieces. It should be noted that Wisniewski makes it clear that he doesn’t take all the photos himself, but the post-production digital work is all him.
Into the surreal « S A V O I A
Moscow-based artist Philipp Igumnov has created these fun illustrations and collages. His artistic style walks a fine line between a melancholy dream world and ridiculous humour with each photograph containing a retro element that works to defamiliarize our notions of the past.
