Next Coke Packaging Concept by Andrew Kim

Industrial design student Andrew Kim created this very cool concept of  some square Coke Bottles. Not a stupid idea for the iconic bottle, since you gain in space for the shipping and for the recycling.

Cody Stonerock ‘Kurven’ Chair

Taking his inspiration from the nautical world, designer Cody Stonerock has created the beautiful ‘Kurven’ Chair. The piece, which features a bentwood frame and leather upholstery, is all the more impressive given that it was created in a mere 10 weeks from conception through to construction. With clean lines and wonderful silhouettes from any angle, Stonerock’s ‘Kurven’ chair is aesthetically brilliant.

Art & Architecture: 3 Beautiful Dream-Like Building Models

Danish designers Ben & Sebastian show through vivid 3D renderings, real-life building sculptures and life-sized architectural models that there is a way to take our imagination – the architecture we dream of – and make it come alive.

City of the (Re)Oriented is one of their most incredible works, like something straight out of a William Gibson vision of a futuristic three-dimensional cityscape, an MC Escher piece for postmodern times or perhaps the urban pathways of our very minds. So what does it mean? ”The ‘map’ has long been useless in a city whose streets are continually reshaped by their walkers, vendors, sponsors, hobby street artists and salvation-sellers. In this anthill of possibilities only the most elastic orientation software can direct the city’s inhabitant through its myriad of shifting, tangled streets.”

If the work shown above is whimsical, playful and carefree, then this piece is anything but. Titled ‘Domestic Violence’ it is quite self-explanatory: a physical manifestation (in the form of a shattered interior design scene) of the real psychological damage that violent actions can cause in a home. Only a conceptual model, it is nonetheless compelling (not to mention disturbing) even at as a small-scale miniature mock-up.

Other pieces by this designer duo include a conceptual Tower-of-Babel-style spiral structure that winds its way to the clouds – composed entirely of chairs – and furniture-like works that blur boundaries between various arts and crafts, inviting us to think big and small all at the same time.

Machine Lights by Frank Buchwald

Industrial designer Frank Buchwald spent 10 years perfecting the concept and execution of his machine lights. Buchwald describes his machine lights as “beings with an own nature”. The manually produced lights take 4 or more weeks to produce, depending on the model. The series currently has 12 different models, which range from 2000 to 10,000 euro. Each light machine is comprised of up to 200 unique parts, so imagine the intricacy of the assemblage that goes into each piece.

Morphology

MORPHOLOGY from Kit Webster on Vimeo.



Morphology is an installation project by Melbourne-based artist Kit Webster that combines sculpture, digital projection and sound. the project uses a geometric white sculpture as its base, which consists of a series of stacked cubes. A digital projector is aimed at the sculpture and projects a series of motion graphics which have been mapped to sync with the geometry of the sculpture. the graphics feature shape tweens,geometrically arranged to create a kaleidoscope effect.

This projection is continually evolving and paired with rhythmic sounds to create an 'out-of-phase yet simultaneously synced effect'. the project is an experiment  by Webster and could easily be applied to other surfaces and scaled up to various sizes.

Boys and Girls Boardroom Table by abgc

When asked, by the recently formed advertising agency Boys and Girls, to ‘liven up’ their newly acquired Georgian office space – with a brief to remove all traces of ‘Solicitors’, producing something “playful but not juvenile” – Dublin based architects, abgc, set about removing carpets, stripping floors, undertaking a ‘white-out’ paint job, and, well…. producing a bloody great Lego boardroom table, of course. The 4ft x 9ft commission delivers a definite wow-factor to the office space, with all 22,742 pieces being connected by hand, then finished with a 10mm sheet of toughened glass…

Godspeed Furniture

Godspeed, a small conceptual furniture studio based out of Tel Aviv, Israel sees the opportunity of giving life back to these overlooked and undesired materials that end up in trash.  Joy van Erven (Holland) and Finn Ahlgren  (Sweden) possess an unorthodox mentality and a purposeful choice of materials opposing the high style world of design that lead into a conceptual furniture company that embraces waste and gives it a second life or better said, a life.

As the name describes, Godspeed is essentially that, furniture in a one-hour time frame.  They have created a unique process where they hurdle the sketching phase and go straight into building the furniture pieces by themselves, similar to a performance art piece where it occurs right there and then.  This unconventional process and the raw nature of their materials offers a distinctive and individualized perspective to their work, therefore elevating its perceived and cultural value to its consumers.  Their pieces range from takes on baroque, contemporary and plain experimental.

Their raw, medium and well done furniture versions captivate our pre-conceived notions of what furniture design is.  Due to its intimate process of making by hurdling over other phases like planning, sketching and so on, they are able to inject their imminent emotions and create sculptural into the pieces.  Honesty, playfulness, humor and wit are some of the descriptive terms that unfold in these one of a kind pieces.
