FRAMED* – a platform for new art forms – was first conceptualized by Yugo Nakamura of tha ltd. to display diverse forms of expression including interactive art, web applications, motion graphics & illustration in everyday interior spaces. FRAMED* looks and is a display, but with an integrated computer. The interesting thing is the integration with an iPhone app which lets you choose which piece to display but also allows you to interact through the touchscreen with digital artwork.

Visible Structures is a series of 12 pieces of furniture designed by Nendo. They are made from foam core that is reinforced with industrial strength carbon tape. Those strips of tape are the visible structure but also a graphical element. I’m really tempted to try this out myself.
