| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 02:06 AM PST Portugese designers working outside of Portugal are invited by the Made Out Portugal program to work toward a greater hive mind of work. This group is responsible for some magical ideas and fantastical concept designs. Each of the members being a designer who is Portuguese studying or doing an internship outside Portugal, the following collection is only a fragment. Designer: Made Out Portugal
HSART by Ana Rita Sousa is a collection of found objects presented in such a manner that they be invited into the homes and lives of the viewers of the project. Instead of staying wasted on the streets, they’re given another chance in the arms of a user.
Secrets Dealer by Branca Cuvier is a project that’s all about secrets. In revealing your secrets, you become less unique, and this anti-uniqueness is what the project aims to depict.
Site-Specific Furniture by Bruno Carvalho is a project that says architecture is both architecture and design but that design is only design, and not architecture. What this project does is develop a production process that “allows the creation of furniture pieces from interior architecture forms.”
About Waste by Filipa Ricardo is a project that’s created from industrial waste – the unwanted parts pieced together to create a project. This project uses CNC waste boards and old used wool blankets to create a 6 metal axis “Made in Holland” stool.
Another Contemporary Chair by Joao Jalente is a piece of furniture about the relationship between the object and the designer. Here the chair is a self projection of designer, the shape of the shadow, a chair, now reflecting the designer literally a s mirror.
Dock Lamp by Manuel Netto is a light controlled by a precise action. Instead of clicking a switch, you move the lamp to a specific lamp, connecting the current. Each place you place the bulb, there too shall you find a light.
Spore Vase by Paulo Sellmayer is a fungi vase. In this vase a process generally thought to be a bit repulsive is made to be observed as a beautiful thing.
Bottlegged . Mesa Beira by Tiago Sas Da Costa is a re-use project based in bottles. These bottles are made into furniture, each of them coming originally from the drinks in the Netherlands, now made into the scenery in a positive way. ---------- |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 01:46 AM PST The following project is one with far fewer hard specs than it has big notions about how the future could be. This project is not a stack of dishes, nay, it is a dish creator. This “Piece of Plate” creator is responsible for the creation of the places where your main course meal will be sitting. Each plate produced will be edible in some way or another, it being organic and made of bio-degradable bits of our mother earth. I cannot speak for its taste. Last time I had an edible piece of what’s normally porcelain or something similar, it was a bread bowl at the Renaissance fair. Beer cheese soup in a big fat bread bowl? There is nothing better. And now you’re telling me I can have lasagna on an edible plate? This must be love. Designer: Elisa Parucker

| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 01:25 AM PST This is a bicycle project whose aim is to create a cycle with a retro style mixed with a slightly more contemporary cafe racer model. Influenced by new and vintage fashions, this bike rides extremely low, and the material used to create it is chosen for its aesthetic beauty as well as its structural virtues. One of these materials is copper, which makes this a total steampunk bike without any of the steam shooting out of it. Perhaps you’d like some propulsion? The rest of the materials other than the copper are modern – lots of carbon fiber is chosen and bright colors will come into the project this bike into the future and deep into the past. With the best of both worlds working for you in this masterfully designed two-wheeler, you’ll be blasting down hills in streaks of chrome, copper, and gold in no time. Flashy!

| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 12:50 AM PST All those who expected 2011 to be a dull year, you're in for a rude shock. Everyday from Jan to December is as colorful as the rainbow! Rather set in a pattern of CMYK color fade called Chromo – a delightful Protein CMYK Color Fade 2011 Calendar that cleverly maps the 29.5-day lunar month. Available in portrait and landscape, this plastic coated ready-memo measures 120cm x 42cm. It comes bundled with a non-permanent marker, which I think is quite thoughtful! Happy Colorful February everyone for just £15! Designer: William Rowe for Protein [ Buy it Here ]

| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 12:42 AM PST The aerial camera is not a new concept to us. The trend started with the Flying Stick and moved on with a Balloon to the Boomerang! This time around we have the camera disguised as a Glider. It takes videos and stills but to take flight, you slingshot it into the air. At its peak, the glider's folded wings bounce back into shape and aid in its casual glide. Designer: Xiaofei Wang

| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 12:35 AM PST Ever catch a stranger peering over your shoulder to catch a glimpse of the time? Happens to me often except I’m often the one doing the peering. Designer Maezm suggests that if we turn the face of a clock just 90 degrees, we’d be in a position to share time with others. So nice, so chivalrous. Wonder if any of you would use it as an excuse to strike up a conversation! Designer: Maezm

| Never mind Asphalt, Sandstone Roads Posted: 08 Feb 2011 12:29 AM PST Asphalt has been used for the last 80 years. It greatly contributes to the urban heat island effect, reaching peak temperatures of 48–67°C. At current consumption levels, approximately 28,000,000 barrels of crude oil were required to create South Korea's 86,990 km roadway system. This is roughly 5x the amount of oil released into the Gulf of Mexico. The Sand Stone Road project proposes the use of an organic process to create sandstone from sand as an alternate paving surface, thereby mitigating the harmful effects of asphalt. The SandStone Road was an 2010 IIDA entry. Thanks to Designboom. Designers: Thomas Kosbau & Andrew Wetzler

| Posted: 08 Feb 2011 12:23 AM PST Loving this simple coffee table called 1×3. Three wood beams and a 10mm think tempered glass top are all you need. The wood beams are notched in the center to all meet and lock in place; no glue or nails required. It even flat packs beautifully. Brills! Designer: Petar Zaharinov
