| Posted: 09 Feb 2011 07:37 AM PST Unveiled at Politecnico di Milano, Albero di feltro is a privacy screen made of a stainless steel frame and synthetic felt body designed for portability and easy installation. It’s ideal to isolate a portion of room either in office, lounge or even in student lodging. The design evokes the organic shape of a leaf leaving you the option to stay minimal or surround yourself in a forest sort to speak. Go small or go all out. Which would you do?

| Environmentally Friendly for the Audiophile Posted: 09 Feb 2011 07:29 AM PST The Ashcraft Aria headphones are a combination of recycled materials and advanced audio technology designed with the audiophile in mind. The headband is wrapped in wood recycled from acoustic guitars. The satin spun finished ear cups are made from reclaimed aluminum. The quilted leather surrounding the ear cups and lining come from reclaimed from bags, jackets and other articles of clothing. Sound is driven by 40 millimeter titanium-plated drivers tuned to deliver extreme clarity, true to the musician’s intention. Designer: Britt Ashcraft for Ashcraft Design

| Posted: 09 Feb 2011 07:24 AM PST We are not revisiting JAWS but are smitten by the very elegant Shark Bath. It's a tub plus shower system with additional jet sprays on the side arms. Designer Michael Samoriz was totally inspired by the oral cavity of this magnificent animal and has cleverly depicted its strong jaw line through the bath's exterior extensions. Quite sophisticated and smooth for an imposing theme like this! Designer: Michael Samoriz for Umbra-design

| Posted: 09 Feb 2011 07:23 AM PST Here's one of those designs that looks at the lighter side of life. A dining tray set that is very Turntable-esque. Very often we come across such crazy juxtapositions that are quirky and cute. As Emir Rifat Isik puts it, "turntable + dining tray = fun design." Superb! Designer: Emir Rifat Isik

| Analog Cooling of Interior Spaces Posted: 09 Feb 2011 12:05 AM PST How would you like to be able to cool your house (assuming you live in a part of the world where it gets hot enough to need cooling) without the use of electricity at all, whatsoever? What if instead of using electric power to stay cool in your home all day, all you had to do was run a bit of cold water in the morning? It appears that designers Mey kahn and Boaz Kahn have transported an ancient secret into the now that’ll do just that, and with a fantastically lovely bit of interior design as a conduit. The design we’re speaking of here is ECOoler, a sort of tile system that connects via water hose nozzles, creating a grid of essentially natural coolers that work by evaporating water. The aesthetics are brought to the project by one of the two traditional Middle-Eastern reference points used in this project: the Mashrabiya, an architectural element that acts as mediator between the inside and the outside. This takes the form of a clay or cement brick that allows air to travel in whilst continuing to keep all manner of uninvited guests out. In the ECOoler, the Mashrabiya is molded and made into a tube system that takes another important cue from a Middle-Eastern tradition: the Jara. What the Jara is and has been for a very long time is a jug that holds cooling water that works by evaporating and seeping through the clay it is made of. Because this method is much closer to what some might call a “natural” method, you’re brought many steps further into responsibility in eco-living, allowing you to live in harmony with your environment. Lovely idea, yes? Designers: Mey kahn and Boaz Kahn

| Posted: 09 Feb 2011 12:03 AM PST The following writing desk is only a tiny sample of what designer Jody Racicot has created for Modern Revision, a contemporary furniture company that presented their newest collection at the Interior Design Show 2011. This desk is a mix of modern and vintage tastes, combining recycled and new pieces to create a whole new product that’s unlike anything that’s come before it. Its greens and yellow play an odd tune that’ll require your brain to decide whether you’re at a modern furniture fair or back doing homework in the 1970′s. This desk has a vintage tablet top covered with yellow plastic, steel legs underneath taken from an old school desk, and moss green laminate around the bottom and the drawers on top. All of this was either repurposed or built by designer Jody Racidot. Designer: Jody Racicot for Modern Revision

| Posted: 09 Feb 2011 12:03 AM PST The following is an introduction to a conceptual car brand via the brand’s first virtual auto. The name of the brand is Shayton, a word that comes from the Sioux word for falcon (Chayton pronounced Shay-ton.) The car that’s being presented is the Shayton Equilibrium. To describe Shayton as a brand, the Equilibrium is described as the world’s first hyper-car. Because this car aims to display “pure hedonism, perversion on four wheels,” Shayton the brand can be easily seen as a niche brand that wishes to become the top tier. To create such a car as this, one whose goals are to push the boundaries of abstract concepts were born in childhood fantasies, a company must dedicate themselves not only to creating a solid foundation in a strong story, but also to competing with the leading brands who’ve been sparking the imaginations of designers and car enthusiasts for generations. Can the balance inherent in this car, the Shayton Equilibrium, bring the conceptual auto brand Shayton to the forefront of the auto world before it even becomes a reality? Have a peek at the Equilibrium below, and you be the judge. ALSO note that Andrej Štanta is one of the designers involved in PROVOCO, the design team responsible for this lovely project – find more work by this designer here: [Andrej Štanta] Designer: PROVOCO for Shayton

| Posted: 09 Feb 2011 12:00 AM PST Crumpler, an Australian bag company, creates chic and smart urban bags, particularly their Heist Collection. The range is an ode to the working professional who doesn't believe in sacrificing style. Each of the four Heist bags are designed to carry your tech gear and accommodates a 15 or 17 inch Macbook. A common thread between all four bags is a padded laptop sleeve, two internal pockets and a zipped external pocket. All of them, except for the backpack, even come with a shoulder strap. The unique wing design provides support and strength to the bags where needed, allowing the main body to be soft and lightweight.
If you're a fan of briefcases but don't want the typical bland office look, then the Dedarang Heist is for you. It's a sleek slim-line bag that will care for your 15" notebook. The unisex style is so versatile, and for AUD $150, it's a steal!
The Keith is a shopper style bag that’s not quite formal but very trendy. This informal tote is ideal for women who like to carry loads of documents with their 15" lappie in a vertical slant. Get one right here for AUD $175.
The casual you is so defined with the Nhil Heist! A backpack that is spacious yet streamlined and big enough to hold a 15" or 17" laptop. Throw in your cables, documents, bottle of water and some clothes, because there’s space galore in this AUD $195 cargo carrier!
Need plenty of room to carry gym gear, overnight clothes, peripherals, gadgets and a 17" laptop? No sweat, the Boston Heist is what you need. This carry-on bag features comfy carry handles and a detachable shoulder strap. This big daddy is available for AUD $225. *All prices in Australian Dollars. ---------- |
