ColoUr N Repeat

i like this one cause it explores new ways or recycling tires and new ways of exhibiting products.

A full four tons of tires were cut, wired, screwed and nailed to fit them with LED-lighting and back-lit white glass tops to create shelves, display tables and even chandeliers. Yes, we particularly love those chandeliers.

All in all, Berlin West is turning into a cool and chic destination and not just because it is close to the known fashion addresses of Kurfürstendamm or the transportation hub of Bahnhof Zoo.

philosophy

“There has to be more to life than having everything.” Maurice Sendak

Actually, EVERYTHING is enough for us. But we did not want to settle for less than EVERYTHING in summer 2009. So we decided to create a space in which we can do EVERYTHING, have EVERYTHING, experience EVERYTHING. “The Agency for EVERYTHING,” said Silke, who had more or less lived in an agency for the last five years. “Sounds good! What will we do there?” asked Sarah, as she would rather go to the agency for EVERYTHING than go again to the Employment Agency
i like this design cause its another way of doin something new and different  and sustainable.

danny lane

"Like glass itself, Lane’s work is sometimes modernist in its simplicity, and, in a different mood, baroque in its pleasure in ornament." - dannylane.co.uk
I love the way danny plays with form and curves in his sculptures, products and interiors.
he demonstrates how you can get so many different effects and personality out of a single material. 
      
Etruscan Chair (1986) 
its said he brought the pionrerred  broken glass as stylish in the 80s when that era's design was slick so that conset was very fresh, i think thats what i like about his work its different because he keeps testing the materials he is using and questioning the process n has mastered them.
 Lane’s sculptures exploit the strength of glass under compression and combine feats of design and engineering to produce work, breathtaking in its apparent simplicity. -dannylane.co.uk
project:  Parting the waves 
Location:  Canary Wharf, London 
designer:  Danny Lane
date:  2003




facts 
(b.1955)he was taught by Cecil Collins has worked in London since the 1980s. His sculpture and furniture ranges in scale from the domestic, to his massive Borealis, one of the world’s largest glass sculptures (2005, GM Renaissance Center, Detroit, USA)- dannylane.co.uk
A number of his designs are produced by Fiam Italia

  i get ideas from every where... just watched this n thought wat if u had led light in rows on a ceiling and they where lined up with projectors built into a floor so an image ie fire could be projected up from the ground and illuminated from above?! might look interesting, because it would look like u r walking through flames. 

AQUASCRIPT ... would luv to deliver an essay like this :p

the power of water n wordz n imagery
imagine how we will receive important  information in the future 


I was blown away when i saw this just stared for ages trying to work out how it was happening!
this company is a brilliant way of getting people to notice a message...
"Aquascript breaks through traditional boundaries of information transfer...a dynamic information transfer waterfall" - Aquascript

  • how it works: well as i understand it.. a proprietary computer system and software synchronizes the hundreds of valves which control each drop of water thus each drop creates a clear defined muster.

suitable for indoors or outdoors spaces and for any purpose, it can be synced with music lights, projections, sensors , interface, lasers....whatever ur imagination can come up wid.... I used this in my shed project to display pictures and sounds and smells from around the Amazon in to the shed.

Amazing Pop Up Card Tutorial

 
I saw the amazing paper structures made by Peter Dahmen  he is a graphic designer from Germany. 

This was one of his tutorials on how to create a paper structure which i followed and integrated into my "box of me"  

I love what he is able to do with paper and he has far more elaborate complicated paper 
structure but no tutorials for those as they are unique pieces of his art. still luv it doe <3

awesome clock


so kool! can use this technology 4 so many things!

luz interruptus: packaged vertical garden

reminds me of Braille 
the neon light make it stand out n make it kool 
This is an art installation by madrid based street art team luz interruptus, the vertical garden make a statment about the diminishing greenery in public spaces.


however i took it as inspiration for my flush project, as a way of guiding blind people round the space by the running their hands over illuminated Braille on the walls and them hearing what the space looks like.
