Coup de cœur pour Antonio Mora, un artiste espagnol qui combine avec talent des portraits photographiés avec divers paysages. Cette fusion intrigante et visuellement très intéressante est à découvrir dans la suite à travers une sélection des œuvres et des clichés de l’artiste.

I was sitting in front of Dyson Air Multiplier the other day and even though I’ve seen and felt these “fans” many times since they hit the market in 2009, I was struck that I’d taken something so unusual for granted. It’s got no blades. So how does it blow air?

It’s a circular structure mounted on a cylindrical stand. The circular tube, or ring, is only a few inches deep, and the larger models have a 12-inch diameter. If one were to just look at it—even fairly closely—there is no obvious clue to how it manages to push air as a fan would.

There might be no obvious clue, but the fact is that there are blades… you just can’t see them. The blades—or fins, as Dyson calls them—are inside the pedestal, and they pull the air in, at a rate of more than five gallons per second. (The most recent implementation of the Air Multiplier moves more than six gallons per second.)

Basically it works like this: Air comes in through the pedestal and moves up through the circular tube that functions like a ramp, forcing the air forward.

So that maps out the direction of air movement. But what gives the fan its oomph? What makes it feel like a fan?

Two old doors of a Citroën 2CV inspired me to build this uniek Cabinet

Non possiedo un cane, ma diversamente desidererei comprargli qualcuno dei prodotti in vendita su Cloud 7, un web store tedesco specializzato in accessori per cani, e padroni, hipster.
I prodotti non sono moltissimi, ma il design è semplice e raffinato e tutti i pezzi sono disponibili in diverse colorazioni per consentire gli abbinamenti cromatici migliori con il colore dell’animale e dell’arredo di casa.

Immagino che i creatori di Cloud 7 siano entusiasti padroni di cani, e allo stesso tempo cultori del buon design e di un certo tipo di eleganza, proprio come quei clienti che si mostrano soddisfatti dell’acquisto fatto nel loro ambiente domestico.
