students in the vehicle design masters course at london’s royal college of art collaborated with bentley in a competition to design a new bentley coupe that explores aerodynamic innovations while maintaining the brand essence. called the aero-ace project, the winner will be invited to refine their design with bentley’s head of exterior design, raul pires, and join the brand’s design studio on a six month secondment. this seems to be an efficient fusion of want and need with new creatives joining the increasingly competitive workforce… enjoy some of the finalist concepts. by kl
nice work by typography/illustrator pomme chan and sean freeman, “for me this is heaven”. by xy
very interesting page from designer tyler thompson that “rubbed his eyes” on his delta ticket to get the basic infos related to his flight. mister tyler decided to give a try at redesigning the tickets and opened the exercice to other designer that also came with resolving designs. worth “checking” 😉 as i’m sure everybody with common sense have been bother by those pieces of non-design. here by pp’
as the winter season seems to have no effect on the bike craze around us, here is the ultimate designer bike. Prouvé designed this bicycle during the war, in a time of great economic turmoil, with the hope to facilitate his employees’ journey between their homes and the ateliers. circa 1941 by pp’
adi was just recently rammed into by a whaling ship in the antarctic waters
the latest addition to the fleet of captain paul watson of the sea shepherds (the saviors of our oceans against illegal poachers and the like) is the 14-ton ‘adi gil’, formerly ‘earthrace’, a bio-diesel future forward kevlar reinforced boat with speeds of up to 40 knots. if that’s not cool enough it can also submerge underwater up to 23 feet!! the boat was designed for a successful round-the-world speed powerboat record attempt in 2008. it was acquired by sea shepherd last year and renamed after the hollywood businessman benefactor… who says saving the planet can’t has to be granola?some specs:
to join the sea shepherd, become a member, save the seas or just contribute as we have been doing for the past 2 years go to sea shepherd dot org and kick some ice. by dd
the “function of form” written by farshid moussavi and edited by ahmad reza schricker published by actar and the harvard university gradute school of design
above: studies by ahmad reza schricker
space design by schricker for nike, in collaboration with new york agency ceft and company
below: additional studies by the young architect
a young masters graduate of harvard university and a current member of Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron‘s offices (china: birds nest) in switzerland, ahmad reza schricker’s future in architecture looks rather promising. the book “function of form” published and bearing his name coincided with his departure from the US and is a great find for archi-aficianados and MIT brains alike. we’ll be looking forward to seeing more of his work. by dd
we had promised our selves not to post any more sexy pix after being flagged by google but what the hell. our pals at fuse project are at it again. the OLPC version 3 has launched, and the new design features an all plastic durable tablet screen and like the original version it can be viewed in blasting Sahara sunlight and boosts new features like full-touch keyboard and back facing camera. now can someone please fix the damn operating system on this baby? by dd
the german manufacturer brinell is offering something more than the usual half-a-terabyte of storage in a grey plastic case. the 1.8in Purestorage XS series comes in options of macassar wood and leather, each material set against chrome trim. the drives are entirely USB powered and are available with a 160GB raw capacity. the larger, 2.5″ products measure 109 x 74 x 13mm, weigh 180g and contain a 500GB drive. a bit over priced (around £200) and a little too late perhaps given the cloud computing trend ahead but why not? by zz
