Product Spotlight » LivingColors Lamps by Philips - Dwell blog - 15-03-2010

by Amanda DameronWhen Philips sent us a couple of their new LivingColors lamps to test-drive, we couldn't wait to set them up and try out a few of their (nearly 16,000,000!) color permutations. Thankfully, editor-in-chief Sam Grawe offered up his San Francisco apartment as a staging ground, and we asked associate photo editor Alexis Tjian to set up a few color-saturated vignettes. Check out our slideshow to see the illuminated result.

Early interface designs make me thankful for the modern-day keyboard - Core77 - 15-03-2010

Something I find endlessly fascinating is interface designs that didn't make the cut, the misfires and experiments created while designers floundered around looking for solutions acceptable for mass uptake. For example, the established QWERTY keyboard that we all know, like this one here, more or less "tracks" with the keyboard on even this ancient typewriter: But when you head over to Martin Howard's Antique Typewriters, the largest collection of these machines frm the 1880s and 1890s in Canada, you start to see the equivalent of 19th-century...

Toronto's National Design Collective: ID for fun and learning - Core77 - 15-03-2010

We're digging the National Design Collective, a trio of Toronto-based recent ID grads (Scott Bodaly, Heather Lam and Jessica Tien) that get together after work, use ID skills to make fun stuff just for the sake of learning and experimentation, and document it all. Example #1: They wanted to learn about lost-wax casting, and the result was a series of experimental jewelry and a cool silver map of Winnipeg pinned to a bag made from industrial felt. Example #2: To hold baked goods up off of a countertop while it cools, you could make a...

Square Meal » Chelsea Jackson's S'mores Tart - Dwell blog - 15-03-2010

by Miyoko OhtakeOn the cover of our March 2010 Recipe for Success issue, Chelsea Jackson sits at the kitchen island while her husband, Arthur, plates their dinner. What steals the shot from the Chef's Table article, however, is Chelsea's s'mores tart, looking divinely delicious at the end of the island. Chelsea, a certified pastry chef, happily sent us the recipe for the tart--which is her own combination of three recipes, two adaptations of existing recipes and one of her own--after a reader wrote in asking for the instructions. Roll up your sleeves...

Home and Housewares Show 2010: Karim Rashid + Bobble - Core77 - 15-03-2010

If you're a Karim fan, a bottled water decrier, or have been closely watching the internet for the past week or so, you've probably seen Bobble, the brand new, self-filtering water container designed by Rashid for Move Collective. At the Home and Housewares Show (happening now in Chicago), we caught up with founder Richard Smiedt and Karim Rashid at their very first Bobble booth, where guests swarmed for autographed giveaways (yes, we got one). Both took some time out to tell us Bobble's story. Karim, above, discusses the product from a design and use perspective, pointing out just how...

Pure Design co-founder raises the bar(s) - Core77 - 15-03-2010

[photo credit: Greg Southam of Edmonton Journal] One of the things I love about ID is its broad scope. With an ID skill set you can design anything from toothbrushes to furniture to stores to cars, and whether the economy's good or bad it's a great way to move between industries, as you're not tied to the fortunes of any one specific product. Remember Pure Design, the Umbra-esque design firm from the '90s? Founded by the design trio of Geoffrey Lilge, Randy McCoy and Daniel Hlus, the firm was the epitome of hip design of that era,...

Seoul WDC 2010: Seoul Design Assets Exhibition - Core77 - 15-03-2010

Unless you've severed your internet connection recently, your probably aware that Seoul is currently basking in the glory of the title, World Design Capital 2010. This award, still in it's infancy having started with Torino in 2008, has been met with mixed feeling from the wider design community, some skeptical of its value to the understanding of "design". Well, Seoul are not letting this get in the way of putting on great, profile-raising show. We reported on the spectacular Seoul Design Olympiad back in October last year in the run up to...

The Guardian, one of the leading UK newspapers, has publish an eight-page supplement on service design - subtitled "Design innovation in the public and private sector - in association with the Service Design Network. "Design is a highly pragmatic discipline. That is why it is of such interest to business: it gets results.
