Bag for All Occasions

Posted: 25 Aug 2008 03:14 AM CDT

The Arrow Backpack keeps up with all your activites; gym, work, and school. The plastic structure collapses and expands to suit your baggage needed. It’s uniquely shaped to support your spine and the large neoprene straps relieve weight and stress on the shoulders. At its smallest, you can divide the bag into 2 separate modules.

We’re seeing more and more bag concepts like this. Tho there are few that have made it to market, there isn’t any mass market penetration meaning demand isn’t there or the right design has yet to arrive. What do you think? Could you use a bag that functions and looks like this?

Chromazon / A Giant Skeleton with Colorful Leafies

Posted: 24 Aug 2008 10:43 PM CDT

Chromazon is a design installation whose color and construction make it an environment to behold. Did I say whose? Its organic nature makes it not just an art installation, not just a park bench: Chromazon is unnatural nature. Lately (the last ten years?) in our modern architectural design environment* competitiveness is a must. The Chromazon encapsulates the world’s new(?) radically concentrated love for design in all things.

*See also: Dubai (the town/city) for architectural competitiveness.

What this project is, simply, is a design installation. It was a finalist for a museum competition**, and is roughly 9 to 12 feet tall in the higher places. Its for outdoors, people can rest under it, and read under it, and gaze at it… But alas, this installation does not presently exist in the real world, it’s only a model. **Chromazon was a MoMA/PS1 YAP 2008 Finalist.

This is a architectural designer’s naturalistic beautification installation. I’d like giant color pedals at my local library or museum, wouldn’t you? I’m not sure if I’d feel enlightened to be there, or if I’d feel like I was in Alice’s wonderland. It’s big stuff.

You like the big?
