| Posted: 04 Jul 2008 01:16 PM CDT This range of multifunctional occasional tables eschews the usual the 4 legs for panels of 3 with the main support structure highlighted in bright red. The design allows free-from arrangement. Turn them on their sides to create whole new spaces and configurations. If you don’t move them around, you could potentially used the red support leg as a cool asymmetrical book shelf. Designer: Cédric Ragot        |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2008 01:03 PM CDT Andreas Hegert doesn’t like rules. Objects, spaces, and surrounding have been given hierarchical values that we hardly ever question so for his degree project he create a room in rebellion. The floor, walls, ceiling, and lights follow to rhyme or reason. The shelf system consists of three parts that can be combined in different ways. The smallest part is only about 40cm high and the largest is one meter. They can be used as bookshelves, room dividers, art…anything you want them to be.The light fixtures are made out of powder coated sheet and are fitted with LED’s. They come in two different models; one recessed light for the ceiling or wall, and one free-standing for the floor. Designer: Andreas Hegert        |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2008 01:02 PM CDT Oh the lazy days of summer… While many of you are sweating from global warming and counting down the days till the iPhone 3G is set free, or maybe you have a life and are packing a bag for the long holiday weekend here in the US, I have nothing better to do than to deliver this weeks all important, randomly placed, weekly installment of YD’s Design Digest; A compendium of easily digestible design delights from around the inter-webs. This first week in July has some pretty hot items to gaze your wandering eyes on. Item #1 is a good rule of thumb and pencil. The “Split Ruler” by Japanese designers Cina, is a ruler that neatly houses your pencil for getting things straight and holding your wood. Item #2 will make you the life of the party at your next trip through airport security. “The Koffski” by Nina Voss is basically a Murse (man-purse) shaped like a gun holster in a vain attempt to butch up the fact that you are walking around with a MURSE!!! Item #3 is located in the last place you want to be this hot summer, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Trust me, I grew up right down the street in Miami and it is hot as balls during July and August. Luckily this new W Hotel by Clodagh is the coolest thing since Sonny Crocket. Item #4 takes inspiration from an origami swan. Designer Damian Kozlik dreamed up this polypropylene chair named “Iga” features storage spaces in its arms, perfect for your stuff and other stuff. No Tags       |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2008 11:57 AM CDT Since Apple’s iPhone was such a runaway success, the entire mobile phone industry has been playing catch-up with the pocket wonder. Jonathan Ive’s (Apple’s Chief of Design) minimal flat black screen design has instantly become a gadget icon and seems to be the inevitable future of mobile phone designs for everyone looking to grab market share. The problem with this design direction is the very limited aesthetic potential. How many ways can you reinterpret the flat black touchscreen screen? Well designer Jaren Goh has done a pretty decent job of putting his own spin on this movement with his “Basic Tab” mobile phone design. He has masterfully taken softer side out of the iPhone silhouette and gave it a more edgy, masculine appearance. His clever use of red translucent materials mixed with chrome harkens more retro future funk sci-fi creations like 2001 A Space Odysseys “HAL 9000″ and the Cylons on Battlestar Gallactica. Designer: Jaren Goh Texts from the designer: The heart of the design for this mobile phone does not lie on the technological advances it had in it. It lies on being a normal phone and was designed to complement our fashion and the way we dress and not to evoke too much technological gadget traits. On the front lies a lush wide black screen and nothing else to steal anything away. The screen resides on a metal slab to add volume and a premium touch to it. Perhaps a better way to show how this design correlates to fashion is the camera tab on the back. Instead of having it looking like camera shutter or lens cover. It was designed using features found on handbags and fashion accessories that is so everlasting.        |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2008 11:42 AM CDT Oh the dread of standing on your bathroom’s weight scale. That anxiety you feel as you step onto a device that most of the time delivers only disappointing news. Well get over the fact that you have been a little self indulgent lately and probably should have avoided having that daily Starbuck’s coffee milkshake with luscious whip cream, rich chocolate shavings and smooth chocolate syrup drizzled over crunchy toffee crumbles….. guuuuuu… heart attack in a cup…..(drool). Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, so you are a fat pig and being told that by your scale pretty much sucks. Well now it can be more fun with this latest design by phenom Jaren Goh. His “Fullscale” weight scale design is a novel and fun way to find out just how bad you been. Stand on the scale and go for a ride as you are spun towards your magic number. Simple, fun and still depressing, kind of like dating a playmate. Designer: Jaren Goh Texts from the designer: Stand onto a weighing scale and you see two regions, the “viewing” region and the “foot rest” region. Instead of separating the “viewing” and the “foot rest” region, I took both of these elements and combine them into a singular and harmonious feature. Therefore now the “foot rest” is also the “viewing” region. Instead it offers to show the whole dial, which there is not a need to hide it. The dial becomes the façade of the product. It functions just like a normal scale should but will produce a different first user experience.        |
