since '98

RE:New(ed) Lighting

Recuperation taken to a new lighting level. Skin Flint Design have a diverse and ever-changing collection of incredible lights that would otherwise have been lost with the buildings they were rescued from and they’d like nice people to look at them and maybe give them happy homes where they are loved!

Hayon le magnifique!

Jaime Hayon le magnifique! Jaime is a Spanish artist-designer who as a teenager submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today.

After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department. 8 years later, broke out on his own, first with collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, followed by interior design and installations.

He is proof that with uncompromised originality, just look at his self-portraits series, hard work and focused pursuit of a vision, everything is possible.

For an inspiring look at his processes — Jaime Hayon Works — is a must.

New foundry

New foundry on the block: HypeForType! Alex Haigh (Thinkdust) dedicated over a year from concept to completion, hardly sleeping more than 2hrs a night (geez talk about resilience and being driven), to fulfill what he saw as an unprecedented opportunity: bringing some of the most talented people together to produce one off creations.. uh.. typefaces.

Introducing the inaugural series by Si Scott, Alex Trochut, Jon Burgerman, HelloHikimori, and Luke Lucas.

Shake it shake it baby now

Presenting the new life of the party! “Digital Confetti is an interactive event installation with a weather balloon, projection, and maracas. Custom software and hardware is used to create generative confetti graphics, text and sounds as party goes shake maracas at the balloon.”

Freehands

One would think that ain’t the season for fleece gloves like the Freehands, right? ok maybe for our friends in Austral Asia then. But with temperatures still in the single digits, not all fingers would get cold. And the finger caps have got little magnets so they don’t keep falling over the keyboard or the cam menu :))

Invented by Josh Rubin. Hats off bro.

Chocolaty Clocky

Done with oversleeping! Nanda Clocky is a run away robot alarm clock that runs away and hides to get you out of bed. Clocky gives you one chance to get up. But if you snooze, Clocky will jump off your nightstand and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide, beeping all the while.

Nanda was started by Gauri Nanda when she was a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab.

Check this video! More user videos. Hilarious!
