Alfred Sold Separately

22 Mar

People-oriented design

At first glance the Bat Mirror seems like your usual pretty French rococo wall mirror, until you gaze just a little closer and see it’s darker pop-culture reference. It wasn’t until I took a fourth or fifth look that I even noticed the gigantic 3 foot bat. The second mirror in this series, Eroteme, again reflects classic baroque style met with coathanger functionality. A little oddball, but perfect if you’re wanting to snaz up your batcave or mannerist closet.

Super Sexy Roll

22 Mar

People-oriented design

Say hello to the Rollerphone concept! At first glance it’s merely a wrist band that projects time, much like the Alessi Concept we saw earlier, but then you realize it’s actually a phone with a retractable transparent screen at the base. How high-tech! It features perfect ergonomics and anthropometry in design thanks to customization – meaning the screen unfurls only to the tip of your fingers, so basically it give you a good fit between the ear and the mouth.

Besides the obvious features found in the latest cellphones, Rollerphone boasts of an enviable media centre. You can watch videos, chat online, play games, read books and listen to music. It’s going to be hard parting with a phone like this, who wouldn’t want their entire digital world on their wrist!

Light Baby

22 Mar

People-oriented design

I know you’ve heard of or maybe even met the white stork, but have you heard of the black stork? It’s the inspiration behind designer Rainer Bachschmid’s “Ciconia” light. Two symmetrical segments bear a reflective stainless steel strip opposite it’s thirty LEDs seamlessly and are encased within an aluminum powder-coated body that very much resembles a beak.  This minimalist light sculpture will grace any space with luminous elegance.

Cabinet of Curiosities

22 Mar

People-oriented design

Using the stories of their materials to create new and strong narratives, the M.&Mme series of cabinets aim to provide a functional and relational experience for the subject. The porthole and repurposed bankirai wood ship-plank doors give a nod to their watery roots and present a nostalgia toward their previous lives. Even if Spanish-Mediterranean isn’t your style, you’ll love the craftsmanship.

Designer: Valentin Loellman

 

Cow Table

22 Mar

People-oriented design

I’m all for quirky design, especially when it’s inspired by something natural or animal. At first I thought this peculiar table, called Office, was feline-inspired- but come to find out, it’s a cow. I can’t say it would be my first choice for a desk, but I do like the clean and simple form. Hmmm… maybe with some refinement Chick-Fil-A would be interested. I hear their cows play tennis too.

Oil Gulping Sea Monster!

People-oriented design

The Oil Cleaning Guard is designed to contain and prevent the spread of oil while simultaneously cleaning it up. It even signals avians and fish to stay away with a series of light beams. Although it’s not very clear on how it works, the designers say the system performs a filtration process onsite by separating the oil from the water.

Oil Cleaning Guard has won the Lotus Prize this year.

Mortar & Pestle Kitchen Tools 2011 Winner

22 Mar

People-oriented design

Rough and smooth, rounded and rectilinear – these forms bridge an ancient process with enduring glass, oak, marble, silver, cast iron and porcelain. This mortar and pestle collection is gorgeous. They simultaneously invoke a primitive form of food prep while ostentatiously define modern design. I love no. 2 for the contrast, the simplicity and the silhouette. It’s the only one in the collection looks good both in use and at rest.

Designer: Shira Keret

 

Go Tea

22 Mar

People-oriented design

Combining the ancient game of Go along with ritualistic tea can lead to disastrous results but Arthur Xin carefully masters that fine line in this homage tea set. The tray looks like a Go board. The teapot and cups look like oversized chess pieces. It’s the whimsicality mixed with minimalism that keeps this design from veering close to a thematic mess.

Designer: Arthur Xin (Se Xin)
