Ones To Watch: The Six Antwerp MA Collections of 2016 – iGNANT.de As long-time admirers of Antwerp’s fashion scene, we were delighted to have the honor of being invited by the City of Antwerp to meet this year’s fashion MA graduates of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts on the occasion of the school’s annual presentation. Over the course of a parcours through northern Antwerp, in which the six MA students shared the inspiration behind their collections, and the SHOW16 runway presentation of student collections, we got to know the diversity, ingenuity and technical prowess of six highly talented and inspiring MA students whose futures gleam as bright as the scissors from which they cut their cloth. Get to know their aesthetic direction below – and take note of their names, because we have an inkling they’ll be all over the place in the future.

An Amazing 360-Degree Simulation Of The Big Bang “You are standing in an empty room. There are no chairs and tables. They were there, but they took them away. There are no monsters from your bad dreams, although, they never were there. That’s the spiritual philosophy behind The Void, by the artistic collective Tundra. The experience is designed to drive the Buddhist phenomenon of Śūnyatā, a meditative openness or void within one’s self. “The Big Bang, as a cosmological event, is a good illustration of our main idea,” project manager Bulat Sharipov tells Co.Design. The room’s sensors, as stubborn as they may seem as they start the video over and over again, work as interventions from our own compulsions. In that light, one can see that The Void is designed with the opposite intent of most of the media we consume today. See more here.

SIMPLY SOUTH Play Play is a result of a close collaboration between De Steyl - the South African furniture makers, based in Garden Route lead by Deanne Viljoen, and RR Studio a pattern development studio - lead by Renée Rossouw, together with local artisans and apprentices from the community. Aiming for simplicity in the manufacturing process, they have suppressed unnecessary and damaging chemicals on the way, leaving room for beautiful, sustainable materials. Birch Plywood play was a saying in this conversation, sanded and finished by hand, and a new way for Deanne of opening up questions surrounding manufacturing processes, as she is moving towards a more sustainable signature in her practice. "It was important for me to create a proudly South African range that has environmental integrity, is playful and fun to use and which you can relate to from childhood into adulthood. " Deanne Viljoen "It becomes apparent in the process that certain patterns work better on certain objects or surfaces.

Every country in the world without a single flight – Meet Graham Hughes | RLTgo.com On the morning of January 1, 2009 Graham took a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia in Uruguay. This was the first of the many border crossings of the biggest adventure of his life: The Odyssey expedition, the first surface journey to every country in the world. The expedition took him to more than 200 countries, 60 islands and six continents in 4 years. Graham Hughes Born in 1979 as Graham David Hughes, is a British adventurer, filmmaker, television presenter and Guinness World Record holder. Why did he do it? “Obviously because I’m bonkers, and it’s been my dream for years” says Graham Graham wanted to set a brand new Guinness World Record, to raise money for WaterAid, and show that the outside world isn’t such a scary place. The Odyssey Expedition Graham named the world tour as “The Odyssey Expedition”. The expedition must have costed a fortune? Anyone could do this!! Backpacking is not expensive! What’s the hardest this about the Expedition? The hardest thing is to reach the islands.

2MNYSBLNGS. white cube gallery / strokes (amaal said,2016) two girls talking… london stories (amaal said,2016) Bob Mankoff picks his 11 favorite New Yorker cartoons Bob Mankoff: Anatomy of a New Yorker cartoonBob Mankoff lives and breathes cartoons. He’s drawn many himself — he’s had a contract with The New Yorker for more than 30 years and, in 1997, he became the magazine’s cartoon editor. It’s now his job to sift through the 1,000 or so “idea drawings” (as they’re called within The New Yorker‘s walls) that are submitted each week — and decide upon the 17 or so that will make it into print. As Mankoff explains in great detail in today’s TED Talk, he has a keen idea of what works within the context of the cerebral pages of his magazine. And he’s built up a stable of his own favorite drawings over the years. We asked Mankoff to do the unthinkable and reveal in public some of the cartoons he finds perennially delightful. “This is a simply perfect cartoon; it’s perfectly constructed,” says Mankoff. “This is so poignant, and I picked it to show off the range of New Yorker cartoons,” Mankoff explains.

Living Large in an Eco-Smart Studio Apartment | Habitus Living The designers at Liquid Interiors have turned an old and cramped 400-square-foot studio apartment on Hollywood Road in Central, Hong Kong into a comfortable and spacious home filled with eco-friendly features. “We wanted to make the space as big as possible… to create an example of how you can humanise space in city living,” says Rowena Gonzales, CEO of Liquid Interiors – the firm behind the project. To enhance spatial quality, the flat features bespoke furniture that cleverly maximises and conceals storage. Half of the wall that divides the bedroom and the living room is a wardrobe, while the other half is kitchen storage. When the open kitchen is not in use, the sink, refrigerator, and storage are neatly hidden behind stainless steel cabinet doors. Since the client works as a pilot and requires quality sleep at different hours of the day, the flat has double glazed windows that insulate noise. The roof terrace also features a green wall of herb plants.
