today and tomorrow

The Eye Clock by Mike Mak Design is probably not so easy to read, but quite funny.

Impress is actually not really a display, it’s more like a touchscreen. It was developed by Silke Hilsing, a student at the department Design of the FH-Würzburg (Germany). She didn’t use any revolutionary technology, it is just a few force sensors combined with an arduino board covered with foam and processing. The result is quite nice though.

Chest Of Drawers by Roy McMakin.

“Marc Newson: Urban Spaceman” is the title of an episode of Imagine, a cultural TV show on the BBC. Marc Newson is one of the most famous designers around. His style is quite particular, I actually only like a few of his designs. Nevertheless, I guess I’ll watch the other 4 parts of this documentary too. It’s always nice to gain some insight.

The new adidas SLVR line is finally available, judging for the pictures it looks very minimal. This sneaker called the SLVR 101 definitely looks quite different than any other one from adidas. The upper is made of only six pieces, they were stitched together instead of using glue. The upper is sewed to a one-piece outsole. By comparison, an average sneaker is build up from 25 to 30 pieces. The 7 pieces SLVR 101 fulfills the SLVR concept of “Reduced Complexity” perfectly. The SLVR 101 is also available in white.

Daniel Pirsc came up with the idea of porcelain 3D wallpaper. Does it still qualify as wallpaper? The effect is quite nice though.

Neo Gramophone is concept by Lars Amhoff, it is an reincarnation of a classic gramophone. It can play music streamed from your iTunes, a subsurface touchscreen menu let you control the music player. I’m currious if it will get past this concept phase, but it’s a nice object anyway.
