Serie Stoccolma by Note Design

This bicycles are manufacturer by Abici (Italian) and designed by Note Design Studio (Swedish). The model has a clear Stockholm vibe which is what I like about them, they are at the same time very retro but modern in the sense of high tech details to make them slimmer and almost naked (pure). Looking through the Abici website I couldn't find this model, it seems they only sell them on Sweden and that is why it doesn't appear within their website. If you look closely to the picture you will notice two types of Bicycles the orange and red ones are curvier (female models) and the white and blue have straighter lines (males ones). I don't know if it's always this way or there are indeed male and female bicycles in any of the available colors.

Twist and Lock by Harry Thaler

The whole concept is really simple, and you can do infinite things with it. The crates used in the pictures are special ones but you could translate this into regular crates in some similar way and also get funky results.

'twist & lock' by harry thaler is a system that allows the user to lock special crates together
in order to create different combinations according to the desired needs. users can apply
the system in different ways, for instance, as a book or wine shelf.

Bang Boom by Ingo Maurer

Another lamp by Ingo Maurer, this one couldn't be more pop. What is nice about this particular lamp is that it is a dynamic design, you move around and the lamp looks very different depending on your physical point of view. Its the kind of furniture that you just can't stop looking at.

Double T Future and Double C Future by Ingo Maurer

Check out these OLED lamps done by Ingo Maurer with octagonal OLED's by osram
opto semiconductors. From a non expert point of view the advantage I see with OLED compared to LED technology is that the surface is completely flat and bigger in size so you don't need to buy as many pieces as you would need to buy with the LED technology. Although right know they don't produce as much light as with LED. Unless you are looking to light a small area, then LED is probably much better then.

My explanation is horrible... but hopefully you probably understand what I mean.

The lamp looks futuristic and simle, The design is interesting (as many other Ingo Maurer designs)

NAP by Kasper Salto

A chair made of pure nylon (polyamide-PA6). It's a simple good design that is also very slim and made with few parts. There is a picture of the vacuum suction mould which is interesting to see (I am obviously not in the field...) and a seating sample made to test basic geometries. The company that is going to sell the chairs is Fritz Hansen.

So you need a typeface by Julian Hansen

Nice job on this one...  We are always looking for the best typography to use in each project, and this could be a simplified solution to the problem depending in our needs. Check her portfolio too: Julian Hansen

When Copyright Goes Bad

The debate is a hot spot since some years back... And there are some really unfair actions going on. So I am just dropping you this info:

The Page by Jae Kim

As you can watch on the video below this is just a prototype (semi transparent e-ink) of a newspaper e-reader. The concept seems bold and clever to me.

And I am one of those that like to think that color e-ink is the future of print (or not printed really). Sorry for the ipad, which I love (Mac lover and happy user) but for reading e-ink is superior.

The video explains the idea perfectly.

Mirror Man

I know this post its absurd. But its fun to see someone dress like a reflective mirror sculpture...

Seasons by Nao Tamura

An inspiring idea... flexible plates that resemble natural leaves but made of silica sand. There is not much that I can add after looking the pictures. The pictures are self explanatory. You can use it like regular plates or deform them for different culinary presentations, you can even give a roll with the food inside and unroll it to eat the food. It Seems like fun.
