Less: N1 Catenary Pottery Printer by gt2P. More analog: Less: N1 Catenary Pottery Printer by gt2P is an experimental pottery printer that captures the form of suspended fabrics (here, muslin, lycra, gauze).
(Click the images below for full sized images) The analog machine incrementally expresses design functions that incorporate physical variables like gravity, fluid weight, and fabric tension, slipcasting volumes and pottery viscosity, in real time - "more parametric, less digital. " The principles and process can be applied to a range of functional objects, from tableware to tables. Tailormade Vases : NOAM DOVER & MICHAL CEDERBAUM. A collection of sewn vessels from multi-layered fabric.

Category:DesignPublished on 30 Sep, 2013 Tags: design, Surface Gallery London, Vlad Tenu London-based architect Vlad Tenu’s Synthetic Nature is a collection of prototypes conceived and created through holistic architectural design research into the genesis of form and space, currently on show at Surface Gallery London.
“Synthetic Nature is an instance of my explorative research into spatiality, scale and materiality; all with deep roots in my architectural background.” says Tenu. “The work has transcended those levels by creating artifacts that are interpretable and adaptable to anything from jewellery, fashion, product design and interiors, architecture to fine art. Algorithmic and geometrical concepts generate surface to volume morphologies that are blurring the boundaries between ‘inside’ and ‘outside’, between ‘solid’ and ‘transparent’ or between ‘natural’ and ‘synthetic’ – blended into abstract hybrid species.”
The show will run until the october 18th, 2013. BLOW It Up! Handmade Plastic Vases Made Easy By Studio Ruben der Kinderen. Photo © Ruben der Kinderen.
Ruben der Kinderen is a Dutch designer based in Berlin and Eindhoven, who runs a studio specialising in product design and the development of social experiences and concepts for promotion and marketing events. One of his latest projects showcases how his studio combines conceptual ingenuity with impressive practical applications. Titled ‘‘BLOW’’, the project exposes modern day production techniques inherent in everyday, contemporary products through translating automated manufacturing, into a straightforward, manual process. A simple PET-tube exemplifies this point. Used as the first case study in his project, it is a good example of an object that can be found in every household that most people invariably, have no idea as to how it is made. Pack : alei verspoor. Pack is a modular system, based on the idea of design for disassembly.
Pack is a set of components that are assembled to create a range of packs, using lo-tech “rapid manufacturing” techniques: folding and basic weaving. You can use these packs to carry your stuff during all kinds of travel, but you can also use them for seating or storage. It’s up to you! Each of the Pack components is made of one material and has one function, which makes it easy to replace and recycle components when they are worn out or when you want a different look.

Например: деревянная обувь состоящая из идеально подогнанных, скульптурных частей, которые в нерабочем состоянии прекрасно смотрятся на стене. Очень красиво, но немного but why. Art: Weird and wonderful molecular furniture by Nick V. DeMarco. Nick V.
DeMarco: Tim’s Couch ‘Tis the season of furniture adverts and we’re getting bombarded from all sides by bogus pine warehouses flogging their beige leather numbers at ‘only one nine nine!’ To counteract this is the cooling oasis of Nick V. De Marco’s website, which showcases his extraordinary, ultra non-boring furniture. Sure, Nick’s more of an artist than a carpenter, but it doesn’t mean we want his molecular Void table in every room of our house. Nick V. Nick V. Nick V. Nick V. Nick V. Nick V. Art: Book artist Guy Laramée creates a jaw-dropping landscape out of 24 encyclopedias. I remember the sense of pomp and circumstance by which the arrival of the full set of Encyclopedia Britannica’s was greeted in our house.
In the innocent pre Wikipedia age, if you wanted to know what the capital of Djibouti was or whether lemurs were nocturnal you turned to the relevant EB entry and found out; all much more satisfying than its contemporary equivalent. When the makers of this rich resource announced they were to stop publishing it after 244 years, book artist Guy Laramée (who we last featured two years ago) went to work.
Adieu is his tribute to this remarkable publication; using all 24 volumes he has created a landscape that ranges from lush mountains to grassy prairies. In both scope and imagination this is a fitting homage to a publishing institution. OTOTO by dentaku: PCB synthesizer for DIY musical instruments.
