| Posted: 23 Oct 2009 02:50 AM PDT A terrace house done in a Heritage Art Deco style, with light open plan living and a nice balance betweeen nature and contemporary living. Fresh. To me, the best part about this house is that it’s a renovation. We’ve got no “before” pics here, but I doubt it compared at all to this magnificent living space. After that it’s gotta be the gigantic light space dividing the two sections of the house, wrapped in aluminum wall cladding absolutely pouring light into the entire abode. Just lovely. It’s what’s called a “light well” - just fab, right? In this outdoor area is the out door pool and frangipani garden. And maybe you could throw a nice set of seats in there and have a little lemonade? The TV and music appliances are all hidden. Try and find them. They’re in recesses in the wall revealed by the touch of a button or by the flip of the hand: they’re all behind the giant murals. (NOTE: I am not sure why the murals are of people like Mao Zedong - it seems weird to me.) The entire second floor is one bedroom / study space and bathroom. The rear section of the house has a kitchen space, powder room (ohh lala!), maid’s room, and roof terrace. Plus! Mezzanine space created to accommodate a guest bedroom in the attic. Jack roof included. Spiral staircase reaches all the way up there.
NOTE if you’ve got any questions about further details, etc, just ask! I’m sure one of our thousand payed moneys on typewriters would be glad to accommodate you. OR maybe someone from the architecture team could help too. Whichever! Design Team: Diego Molina, Maria Arango, and Camilo Pelaez

| Posted: 23 Oct 2009 01:51 AM PDT Imagine putting all your unwanted trash papers into this recycle bin, and it spits out a trendy trash bin or stool made out of that same discarded paper. Call it Origami magic or Paper Mache wonders, but I think it's an awesome game plan. The paper dumped into the Waste Paper Recycle Trash Bin gets mixed with "668 polyvinyl alcohol environment cement", and is compressed into the trash-bin form. The recycle bin for its eco-conscious, part features a touchscreen navigation display, a slot on the top for you to slide in the paper sheets, a cement-mixture-pouring-in compartment and thermovents at the back. The body is constructed out of aluminum and biodegradable plastics, but its unclear how the system runs or how does it source its power. Designer: Qianqian Tao

| Posted: 23 Oct 2009 01:17 AM PDT Emi Schenkelbach’s got the combos. She thought to herself one day, hmm, what would be awesome to do today? It would be awesome to develop a new unconventional method for combining metal and textile! That’s it. - And she’d be right. That is definitely an awesome thing to be thinking about doing. Focusing on the contrast between the softness and the rigidity of the two separate elements, a grid was constructed in order to combine them. And it was good. Each “pinch” is a little bit of the grid. The grid remains the same throughout the material, and each bit of material has the same grid, but each bit of material with a grid appears unique. Wouldn’t it be lovely to wear some of this as an armor at a punk show to defend against all those studs and sharp spikes? I’m for it. Good armor. Good defense against small bludgeons too I bet. Also super fashionable. For all fashion peoples. Designer: Emi Schenkelbach

| Posted: 23 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT Rapid modernization and our greed to stay updated with our technologies often create a wire-mess or redundant gadgets to loiter around our homes. Cost of upgrading all tech-paraphernalia at home, plus repair or replacement of worn-out parts leaves a dent that we don't like. Solution? The Upgrade Modular Telecommunication System! With this magic modular strip you can customize your home network, combining the single modules to your convenience. The premise of Upgrade is based on the need to replace a defected or outdated technique standard by replacing only the related module. Each of the identical constructed modules performs a specific function and differs from its connection ports. The modules:
The module bow can be upgraded with three additional external modules: The repeater module
The repeater module expands the signal of the wireless module and improves the transfer quality over great distance or even through thicker walls. It can be plugged vertically or horizontally in a socket. The audio module
The audio module can be connected to a stereo system and streams the music files, which are saved on the hard drive module, over the stereo speaker. The media module
The media module can be connected to a display device (like a TV). It enables the user to view pictures, videos and music files saved on the hard drive module. Designer: Jan König |
| Posted: 22 Oct 2009 08:45 AM PDT What in the world is that. Is that a boat? Is that a flying dirigible? Nay! It’s a moth! A moth is a kind of small, FAST, single-handed sailboat made for racing. Originated some time in the early 1900’s in North Carolina, the classic Moth can be any number of things: skiff, pram, scow, dinghy, basically anything within the restrictions of 75lbs, 72 Sw Fr sail area, and a maximum beam of 60 inches. What David Valham has done here is to make a Moth into a superior flying machine that’s riding on the edge of boatness, appearing to nearly take off! Now, modern Moth boats look very similar to this Valham design, with the exception of a few factors: while the usual Moth has a couple of “wings” for the pilot to sit on, the Valham design turns these into actual wings, adding to the balance of the boat, adding to the speed. Furthermore, there’s a bunch of littler additions that make this lovely boat a Moth to behold: Flexible Wing Mast Lighter Beem Shape Ergonomic Sitting Area (this is the wings) Angle of Attack Indicator (rudder) Rigged Handles for Easier Transport Dihedral Angle on the Front Higher Lifting Point Double Wands on the Front Now take a look at this bad boy, and tell me if you’d dare drive it. Part of the fun of this sport is the skill involved in keeping the boat upright. Learning how to run one of these splendid looking insects involves a lot of crashing and swimming. But! Once you’re up, you’re OFF! Designer: David Valham
