EXiT architetti associati were asked to design a family chapel in Padova, Italy. Although this is normally not a place where you would feel comfortable, they managed to design it in a way where you could go to think, meditate, concentrate and, above all, allow yourself precious time to stay close to your loved ones.

This is Kodak’s first digital camera made by the Kodak Apparatus Division Research Laboratory in 1975.
It was a camera that didn’t use any film to capture still images – a camera that would capture images using a CCD imager and digitize the captured scene and store the digital info on a standard cassette. It took 23 seconds to record the digitized image to the cassette. The image was viewed by removing the cassette from the camera and placing it in a custom playback device. This playback device incorporated a cassette reader and a specially built frame store. This custom frame store received the data from the tape, interpolated the 100 captured lines to 400 lines, and generated a standard NTSC video signal, which was then sent to a television set.

This is the HTML & CSS version.
This is how looks like in Firefox.
And here’s a bonus piece by Paul: Spellbound.
I would have never thought that I would once post tea towels. Today is that day. Pieke Bergmans designed 6 tea towels for the Textile Museum in Tilburg (The Netherlands). Each one is infected by the dreaded Design Virus. Her goal is to make “personalized mass production” where irregularities are ruled in.
You can buy them for €15 a piece in blue or red at Wannekes.
Erika Zorzi and Matteo Sangalli have one idea a day and put them up on their 01MATHERY tumblr. A few ago they posted their Ice Me idea. You put your jewelery in an ice cube tray, add some water and boooom … jewelery with ice cubes. Not sure if someone will still need this this summer.
