John Maeda x Reebok Insta Pump Fury

June 25th, 2008

Over a half year ago, Reebok did its first collaboration with John Maeda: the John Maeda Reebok Timetanium Ventilator. A few months later he also did a woman’s sneaker and now Solebox released the image of this Reebok Insta Pump Fury. I can’t find any words to describe this … John you are letting me down! What happened to simplicity?

EDIT: I stand partly corrected. Solebox just added a video of John Maeda explaining the concept behind this sneaker. I guess I’ll have to see it in the flesh to make a final call on it.

Delaunay Raster

June 25th, 2008

Jonathan Puckey is a Dutch graphic designer who can script. He often uses Scriptographer, a scripting plugin for Adobe Illustrator, so that’s probably why he calls his work ‘conditional design’. ‘Delaunay Raster’ is his latest project, it’s image vectorization based on Delaunay triangulation. So on the left you can recognize Kate Moss and on the right Notorious BIG. But if you want to understand why this is so amazing, you’ll have to go to his website and watch the short demo video.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

June 11th, 2008

The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model is quite a revolutionary car study. GINA stands for “Geometry and Functions in ‘N’ Adaptations”.  The outer skin is a textile fabric stretched over a structure of metal wires, some parts are moveable so you can change the appearance of the car. The headlines can be hidden or revealed, but I guess that the doors show it off the skins feature the best. As always a video is the best way to see and understand this, so watch it.
You can find more images here.
