Yet another Peter Bristol creation, after his self-descriptive drawers.
The street seller, knocking at our door everyday with a different gadget a day, let me know about it: 1 design per day. In English thanks to Comunica34

Within the design study, we have just handed in 500 plant pot bulbs to the shop in Cordoba’s Viana Palace, with their own packaging as well as online instructions. It has been an interesting experience…

We are preparing a little trip to Portugal. Looking for an apartment we realized how important a picture is for such purpose. These home-made pictures here are not too bad, though. Please, may you need to sell an apartment, do take your pictures during daytime, pay attention to what is portrayed on the image and avoid using flash! A wide angle lens proves helpful too.

In Marseilles we can find this installation from foster + partners. It addresses one of the city’s key current issues: to recover the docks as a civic space, as well as to connect the harbour and the city. I guess they are on the right way, seen this wonder… I could walk for hours around with my camera. It’s a pity that they are a bit far away from Cordova.
We visited designboom and found it. In English thanks to Comunica34

Andrew Knapp has a dog named Momo. Momo is way more beautiful than Waldo was.

The colour parametres for most applications end up being just three: HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), RGB (red, green blue)… Swatch you doing? keeps its interface to the least expression: horizontal cursor position defines tone, vertical defines brightness and the scroll  fixes saturation. What a perfect tool to choose spectra, huh?

‘The clock’ is a video that lasts for 24 hours and is composed by hundreds of film excerpts where a clock containing the right times can be seen on stage. As the video is played during events, the time shown on the films is precisely the actual time. This is the work from dj and visual artist Christian Marclay.

Roberto Cecchi decided to have fun thanks to kerning 0 and he once created a couple of toys: Bagarozz and Aierbazzi. Each of its letters either becomes an anatomical part of a little bug or a branch. As object-characters are written they pile up and create different versions of the bug or the plant.

This is a clip created by Cyriak for Bonobo. The whole video is based on a 1962 film from the USA dealing with the virtues of consumerism. It’s so copy & paste. I can’t get enough. In English thanks to Comunica34
