The Starbrick is an experiment with light modulation and space by Olafur Eliasson for Zumtobel. The configuration below is made of several Starbricks. But you can use them on their own or in different structures. I would definitely like to see these in real life.

rAndom international was asked by Philips Electronics’ Lumiblade to create an interactive installation that unlocks the creative potential of their next generation OLED technology. They were inspired by the beautiful mirror finish quality of the individual OLED modules, so the result is an ultra thin interactive mirror light wall. Not like we haven’t seen anything like that before, but still very nice and really thin.

“Mat, Satiné, Brillant” is the title of the Maison Martin Margiela installation in Milan. It is the introduction of the Maison Martin Margiela furniture collection and interior design and architecture services. The installation is an exact reproduction of the Interior Design workshop of the Paris Headquarters, where all stores, showrooms, and architectural projects are conceived.
I think most of it is very average. The trompe l’oeil doors, the table made of many trestles and the shelves made of brackets (in the second photo) are the best items.

The Coral lamp by Studio Aisslinger is made of hexagonal felt submodules. It should remind you of a sea life coral structure, but I say it could be a honeycomb too. Sspecially in yellow.

I’m a little disappointed with car design lately, I haven’t seen anything new that I found interesting. Why don’t we see anything like the Citroën Karin, a concept car designed by Trevor Fiore in 1980, anymore? Just keep it simple.

The girls of Front digitised a Royal Delft vase and added some parameters to the material in the 3D software. It was then exposed to a simulated gust of wind. This is really a typical Front project.
The Blow Away vase is available from Moooi.

Stefan Diez will present his new chair family called Houdini in Milan this week. They come in a side chair and a chair wirth armrest version. The chairs are made of 4mm thin oak-veneered plywood, which is glued to a milled solid wood ring. Personaly I like the side chair the most, it has simple shape with some distinct lines.
They will be avaible from e15 in natural oak, black, white and grey lacquer finishes as well as custom colours.

Diesel is the next fashion brand to launch its own furniture line, it definitely fits its claim “Sucessful Living”. They teamed up with 3 brands : Moroso for the furniture, Foscarini for the lightning and Zucchi for the home textiles. You can see some items from the collection in this Wallpaper gallery.
My favorite is this lamp called Rock.

This&That is a collection of 10 hand-blown glass domes by Fabrica‘s young artists for secondome. These ones are called “Balloon” and “Hammer”, who would have thought it? You can see the others ones at dezeen.

To be able to read the Water Clock by Kyouei Design, you’ll have to let the white and red ball float in water. Inside the ceramic base are 2 magnets who rotate, those attract the 2 balls. The red one shows the hours, the white one the minutes.
