What We Saw » Venice Biennale: Raumlabor Berlin - Dwell blog - 09-09-2010

by Tiffany ChuOne of the most interesting things to see at an architecture festival is not necessarily the final aha! moment after a pavilion is finished, but the collaborative process of building. At this year's Venice Biennale, art collective Raumlabor berlin debuted 'The Generator,' an onsite participatory workshop where you can make your own 'Sedia Veneziana,' or Venetian chair.

Form Us With Love's Match votive and Unfold pendant - Core77 - 09-09-2010

I'm soooo digging the Match votive candleholders designed by Stockholm-based Form Us With Love, which features a slit running down the side you you can insert a match to light the thing without having to invert it and light upwards, an act that in my klutzy fingers usually ends with dripping, burning hot wax. I came across FUWL while checking out another of their neat projects, the convenient-to-ship Unfold pendant lamp, made from silicone rubber. Both the Match and the Unfold are in production by Danish company Muuto.

Boolean Taxidermy: Beautiful Rendering for the Sake of Beautiful Rendering - Core77 - 09-09-2010

New media studio Zeitguised released these renderings a few days ago, dubbing them Boolean Taxidermy. Apparently, they showcase a method called Kontaktschmelze, described as follows by the studio: Kontaktschmelze (contact fusion) is the first work using our concept of the 'boolean camera'. To make use of 3d cg space in a uniquely digital way, space is not cut by a projection of a plane onto a 2d screen anymore: instead, we 'look' through the cutting shape of a 3d object to realise the shape of another."

Announcing the 2010 Sappi Ideas that Matter Grant Recipients - Core77 - 09-09-2010

As much as we'd like to, it can be tough for designers to do work for the causes we care about. There is always a lack of time and money available to put toward working on projects "that matter" and have to be done pro-bono. One unique grant program, Sappi Fine Paper's Ideas that Matter, is in its 11th year of helping make this problem a little easier, having given over $10 million to designers and their favorite causes thus far. Today Sappi announced the 27

The ripple effect, embodied in a table for tea - Core77 - 09-09-2010

Designers Jeonghwa Seo and Hanna Chung's Design Academy Eindhoven grad project is the Ripple Effect Tea Table, surfaced with actual water. The idea is to emphasize the concept that Easterners are generally aware that their actions have ramifications on the larger society as a whole; thus lifting or interacting with your floating saucer here will clearly demonstrate the ripple effect. I think the concept is beautiful, even as I lament the fact that it wouldn't go over in most Western cultures, or at least in America; and I'm not talking about the impracticality of the...

TechShop teams up with Autodesk to provide RP software and more - Core77 - 09-09-2010

Not all of us can afford 3D printers and ShopBot CNC routers, and TechShop takes up the slack by offering an ID grad's dream of a workshop all under one roof in their membership facilities. Just as it's impractical for many of us individual DIY'ers to own production machinery, industrial design software too can be expensive. Addressing this, TechShop has now teamed up with Autodesk to provide a full complement of Digital Prototyping software and other design programs. "Things like Autodesk SketchBook Pro, AutoCAD, Inventor, and Alias Design are making their way to cash-strapped...

Fashion's Night Out is coming up tomorrow in New York City, when boutiques stay open late to celebrate and showcase clothing made by professional designers, but, the most exciting event we've heard of so far features the work of amateurs.

Joe Doucet's ScrewTop table shows flatpack doesn't have to look cheap - Core77 - 09-09-2010

Most modern furniture strives to be seamless. Whenever I see cool tables in cafes, restaurants or showrooms, and I often have to stick my head under the tabletop to see how they're joined together. Then there's Joe Doucet's WL01 "ScrewTop" table, which wears its joinery method on its sleeve, so to speak. The flatpack table comes together by means of massive screws that sit flush with the tabletop; it sounds like it would look cheap, but comes across as elegant. "WL01 ScrewTop proudly displays its construction as a design feature, takes the idea of self-assembly and...

Hidden Heroes - Online Exhibition Worth Checking Out! - Core77 - 09-09-2010

"This exhibition is devoted to the "heroes" of everyday life - things that we use on a daily basis, but to which we pay little attention. We know almost nothing about their history, although they influence our lives and have set many standards. We present these everyday heroes together with patent drawings by their inventors, with historical and contemporary advertisements and films, and also with design and art objects that have been inspired by them." The Vitra Design Museum in co-operation with Hi-Cone, showcases 'Hidden Heroes. The Genius of Everyday...
