Time for All

The Time Timer Watch PLUS incorporates visual, audible as well as tactile alerts to broaden the reach of its users to include those with special needs or anyone who simply has trouble with time tracking. Time is depicted as a red disc that disappears as time moves, and user defined intervals are signaled by both sound alarms and vibration. With an easy-to-use interface, it’s perfect for blind or deaf users, or anyone who just needs a productivity push.

BMW Design Chief Karim Habib Talks Shop

karim-habib.jpg

It seems like only yesterday that Chris Bangle stepped down as BMW’s chief designer, but it’s already been four years. Dutch designer Adrian van Hooydonk filled his shoes, until being promoted to the overarching SVP of BMW Group Design position. Now the task of heading up BMW automobile design has fallen to the relatively youngish (42) Canadian industrial designer Karim Antoine Habib.

In this video we not only get to see cool shots of Habib checking out the International Design Museum Archive (where I was surprised to see the TV collection supported on sagging, melamine-covered particle board shelves!), but we also hear him break down how he translates BMW’s DNA into design work, as well as what it’s like to manage and oversee a team of designers. It also doesn’t hurt to see him whipping around town in that sweet 2002* with the Jetsons beltline.

*Hardcore classic Bimmer fans: Is that a ’68?

Deep folds disrupt the lacquered white surface to create four tabletops at three different heights.

Two years ago in Cologne, Nigro presented interlocking pendant lights and a set of bright yellow divans, tables and a foot stool, both for Ligne Roset – see all designs by Philippe Nigro.

Here’s some more information from the designers:


Philippe Nigro loves to explore concepts in depth. For years now he has been working with Ligne Roset on the theme of intersections, interweavings and assemblies. He brilliantly demonstrated this with his Confluences settee (2009), and then his indoor/outdoor collections Passio and Résille (2011). In 2010, he blazed a new trail whilst playing with the concept of notches, resulting in the Inséparable footstool/table (2010), a concept which was later masterfully transformed into the Cuts shelving (2011).

In 2013, he develops that same idea of the notch, this time applying it to the low table: a flat surface is ‘disrupted’ by notches to create 4 distinct tops positioned at three different heights. The angulation of the two intersecting notches is 28°.

The irregular architecture of the low table thus obtained contrasts with the slimness (just 8 mm) of the single material and its immaculate whiteness to create a result which is more than appealing: the varying dimensions and differing levels of the tops are practical whilst the notches can be used as magazine storage.

Whichever of its each four sides it is viewed from, its contours are different yet always surprisingly light, like a paper aeroplane.
