since '98

Space Invader

Space Invader chair compact foam seating (comes in various colours) based on the orignal Space Invaders arcade game from the 1970s. Brought to you by Dorothy which is a collective of like-minded people working on unlike-minded ideas.

Oh these are cool!

Ziiiro Aurora

What a beautiful watch the Ziiiro Aurora! Luv the minimalist design and tutti-frutti colors. Ingenious way to show time: no hands, no markings.

_______

Found it via MakeWonder a new social shopping project that offers a ‘blind’ gifts store – what an intriguing concept.

_______

question: Would you buy ‘blind’ gifts? Yay or nay?

Universaldesign

Universal Design studio had one of the best interior design sites I had seen. You could watch the screen changes to display clients’ work. Clickicking on scrolling icons and new background loaded. Clicking on background and navigation collapsed, so you could see the sharp picture behind. That was then.. (2002)..

_______

This is now.. Guess they’ve chosen to concentrate on doing what they do best which is extraordinary interior design. The website is less impressive – but the projects are! The visual constructs revolve often around geometric forms and shapes, strong architectural balance and repeated patterns.

Still jaw-dropping.

Stacking-up

Pino is a market place for unique, functional and innovative design objects. The idea for the concept camefrom the name of the shop, Pino, which means a ‘pile’ or ‘stack’ in Finnish. Luv the logo!

Looks pretty much like my dream store.

Skype offices

pS Arkitektur enhance their clients image and business capacity through innovative architecture and design. Their motto? Architecture for change. They take an overall responsibility for the project throughout the process – from conceptual sketches to finalised product.

See what they did for the Skype offices! We’re talking humongous (over the top?) $$$$$ budget here. Made possible because of M$ recent buyout???

What do you think?

Human Being

Please dress-up carefully. Human Being tee by origin68. Read the labels on it! Rad idea! Should be mandatory in schools to empower respect and deter bullying. You know like a ‘uniform’. And then, why not everywhere where human rights are non-existant or crushed?

Sign of intelligence. Not just cheeky design.

Contents may vary in colour? Brilliant!

Minimal is right

Minimal is a diversely talented product design hub concentrated mostly around lifestyle and technology brands. Their products are oozing with minimalist curvature and slick shapes that makes you want to have and hold. They epitomize in their approach and project deliveries what everyone else would like to achieve: the oooooh and wooooow reactions.

From this, to this, to that. The success story is one currently being told around the no less than extraordinary funding of the TikTok + LunaTik (watch the movie) watches which raised almost $1 million on Kickstarter.

Pet moto? Do what you think is right and apologize later.
