Alarm Clock Wakes You Up By Brewing You Coffee | The Mary Sue You know how that old coffee jingle goes: “the best part of waking up is when your alarm clock puts Folgers in your cup.” Wait, that’s not how it goes? Someone should probably tell the guy who invented an alarm clock that actually does just that, then. Called “The Barisieur,” this nifty contraption was created by industrial designer Josh Renouf and first unveiled to the world at New Designers 2014. But how does it wake you up, you ask?

Marc Newson's Nautilus pen for Hermès features a retractable nib Australian designer Marc Newson has created a fountain pen with a retractable nib for French fashion house Hermès. Marc Newson collaborated with Hermès artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas to design the brand's first pen, which twists to reveal the nib. "Designing this pen was no simpler or more complicated that conceiving the inside of an aeroplane," said Newson. "The main constraint was having to fit a complex rotating mechanism into a very small space." Made from aluminium and stainless steel, the pen is opened and closed by turning the body. "There's nothing technological about its appearance," said Newson. The Nautilus pen is named after Captain Nemo's submarine from the 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by French writer Jules Verne, admired by both Newson and Dumas. The name also references a marine animal that hides within a smooth shell, which Newson compares to the design of the pen: Nautilus is also available as a ballpoint version, with an ebony, red or blue body.

Paul-César Helleu (1859-1927), impressionniste mondain | Peintres méconnus du XIXème siècle : une autre histoire de l'art Paul-César HELLEU, sous la direction de Frédérique de WatrigantSomogy, éditions d’art, oct. 2014 « Homme d’un seul dieu / l’Art / d’un seul maître / le goût / d’une seule femme / la sienne », ainsi se terminait l’hommage rendu par Robert de Montesquiou (1855-1921) à son ami, le peintre Paul-César Helleu (1859-1927) dans l’ouvrage qu’il lui consacra en 1913. Un siècle plus tard, le beau livre publié aux éditions Somogy sous la direction de Frédérique de Watrigant, présidente des Amis de Paul-César Helleu, nous fait redécouvrir l’oeuvre de cet artiste complet et nous donne par là-même un avant-goût du catalogue raisonné en cours de réalisation. Consuelo Vanderbilt, duchesse de Marlborough, pointe sèche, 1901 Dans l’intimité, Helleu se révèle également un excellent portraitiste. Mlle Alice Louis-Guérin, 1885, pastel, Musée Bonnat-Helleu (détail) L’aspect le plus étonnant – car méconnu – de son oeuvre est certainement sa peinture de plein air.
