Starck + Intersection Magazine Soapbox Car

In an interesting project French designer Philippe Starck got together with Intersection Magazine to build a soapbox car. The car comes without engine, without steering and without brakes and as you can imagine, looks beautiful. Thankfully they provide a video with the presentation of the car, so that one gets a better idea of how it all works.



In the upcoming issue of Intersection Magazine you will find an extensive interview with the designer, as well as lots more background information on the project.

RGB Wallpaper

RGB was the brain child of Carnovsky. This wall paper features three different patterns printed over each other, resulting in a very unclear yet interesting image. Red, green or blue light can hide two of the patterns and make the third one present.
Very 3D !!!

Enzo Mari Autoprogettazione for Artek

all images by juoko lehtola
Having worked on more than 2000 projects which have marked design history, Enzo Mari is probably Italy's most provocative designer. As a social commitment, through developing functional objects, he creates 'products' that celebrate an utopic world and the dignity of not alienated work. As art pieces they are brutally honest and at the same time beautiful to look at. Birgit Lohmann, Designboom's editor in chief, has studied industrial design under tutor Enzo Mari and directly after university has collaborated with him on various design projects for many years. One of her 'masters' favorite projects is his 'Autoprogettazione' series of 1974.


'Sedia 1- chair' is the first object from Mari's thought-provoking project 'Autoprogettazione'
to go into production with Finnish furniture company Artek. The original idea consisted of a series of 'do-it-yourself' instructions on how to construct the various pieces of furniture. Now, Artek offers customers to purchase a set of pre-cut pine wood boards, nails and instructions...

Artek will be celebrating its 75 years of art and technology production with a presentation at Spazio Rossana Orlandi. Meanwhile at the Triennale Museum mari will show a short documentary produced by Artek, which explains the concept behind 'autoprogettazione' and which demonstrates the building steps for 'Sedia 1'.

Monument to Pedro Almodóvar by Enproyecto Architects

Enproyecto Architects have completed a monument in recognition of Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar, located in his hometown of Calzada de Calatrava, in the heart of the community of Castilla, La Mancha, Spain.
The project was the winner of a competition launched by the community government to pay tribute to Almodóvar’s film work and to make references to the culture and landscape of La Mancha. The main idea of the project was to frame the land of La Mancha, as if it were a fragment of one of his films.
