Event Spotlight » Dwell Lounge at Sundance - Dwell blog - 27-01-2012

by Aaron BrittDwell brought its modern design prowess to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last weekend by kitting out a happening lounge at 427 Main Street. With the help of San Francisco interior designer David Mast and the good offices of Brent Jespersen and Ryan Church of Jespersen Design and Poliform SLC, we transformed an old restaurant into one of the hottest hangouts in town. The space was done in conjunction with the Gansevoort Group and the One Group and over the course of the weekend it held premiere parties,...

Malika Favre Takes On the Kama Sutra for Penguin - Core77 - 27-01-2012

We first picked up on graphic designer Malika Favre's remarkably expressive vector artwork last year and she's pleased to present her latest project, the cover illustration for the forthcoming Penguin Deluxe edition of the Kama Sutra. Favre gladly shared some insight into the brief and process:I was approached last summer by Paul Buckley at Penguin US about designing the cover of a new Deluxe edition of the Kama Sutra for Penguin. This book is part of the Graphic Classics series: Basically every classic they re-edit is paired up...

Chinese Manufacturing, Part 2: Getting It Right - Core77 - 27-01-2012

While the last entry saw me complaining about an example of shoddy Chinese manufacturing, now we'll look at an example of Chinese manufacturing might. In this six-minute video currently making the blog rounds, we see an astonishing feat of design, engineering and execution: The 30-story T30 Hotel constructed in Hunan Province, taking just 15 days to erect.

Ikea's Latest, Part 2: Two Striking Pendant Lamps, and Their Design Origins - Core77 - 27-01-2012

Ikea has just introduced two LED pendant lamps, both so new that at press time they were not yet posted to Ikea's website. We were excited to get an early look at their VASTER (first shot above), made from steel and acrylic, and their KLOR (second shot above), made from nickel-plated steel and polycarbonate, as well as hear the design stories behind them. (Note that both stories have apparently been translated from Swedish--or it's Ikea policy to drop the article and refer to objects as if they're people.) VASTER, interestingly enough,...

Ikea's Latest, Part 1: High-Gloss Kitchen Goes 180 From Last Year's Country-Style - Core77 - 27-01-2012

At last year's Interior Design Show in Toronto, Ikea pulled the sheets off of their bold country kitchen look, an aesthetic departure from the blonde-wood kitchens with which their showrooms had become associated. The kitchen won the show's Gold Booth Award and our entry on it quickly caught Facebook fire. At this year's IDS, the design pendulum has swung the other way: Ikea's display kitchen features a distinctly sleek and modern look, one reportedly inspired by "the classic fashion combination of a black dress and pearls." In sharp contrast to...

Flotspotting: Auto Designs & More, From Someone Barely Old Enough to Drive - Core77 - 27-01-2012

Terschelling, Netherlands-based Bart de Graaff has got good hands and an imagination to match, as evidenced by the copious renderings in his book. With expressive work spanning graphics, transportation, and conceptual design of the sort you'd find in a sci-fi movie, de Graaff could be mistaken for a grizzled vet of the design field. Which makes his personal statement all the more surprising:(more...)

Blog » RIP, Moss Design Emporium - Dwell blog - 27-01-2012

by Kelsey KeithFollowing a short announcement in the New York Times yesterday, the news of the imminent closure of Moss has been ripping up and down the wires, resounding in a collective end-of-an-era sigh from designers, writers, and the people who fill out wedding registries at groundbreaking design emporiums. Murray Moss's eponymous shop opened in 1994 on Greene Street in Soho, and for 18 years it's led the pack in what constitutes cutting-edge interior design.

Side Effect of Technological Advancement: Children Not Recognizing Fairly Recent Artifacts - Core77 - 27-01-2012

I read an article about a summer camp where one of the activities was showing the kids a bunch of old pieces of technology, and having them play around with them. The astonished author reported that most of the kids could not figure out how to dial a number on a rotary phone; they'd place their finger in the hole for "0" and drag the dial to the number they wanted to "activate," then release the dial. This video here is similarly funny: Writer and blogger John Scalzi shows his 13-year-old daughter a vinyl...

TRAIL$: A Modern Parable, by Dot Samsen - Core77 - 27-01-2012

Architect-turned-interaction-designer Nitipak "Dot" Samsen first caught our attention a couple years ago, when he'd just completed his MA in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art. For the 2009 thesis show, he exhibited series of coin flippers, a diverting exercise in iteration and probability if nothing else. For his latest project, he's shifted his attention from the element of chance to a sort of economic determinism, exploring the hypothetical evolution of currency in the near future. The...
