The museum was also the setting for the Global Design Forum, where Peter Saville was revealed as the winner of this year’s London Design Medal for his contribution to design and London. In the same interview, he declared that “Manchester is now the capital of the UK” and announced that he’s creating a logo for Kanye West.

Lamborghinis are “Designed to Split in Half” in Event of a Crash? We’re Not So Sure

0lambocrash01.jpg

Talk about schadenfreude. Seemingly every car blog in the world, and every local paper in NYC, has picked up the story of a Lamborghini crash last weekend in Brooklyn. The notable part of the crash: The $400,000 Aventador hits a tree and splits in half.

Luckily there were no fatalities in the crash, which occurred Saturday in the Mill Basin neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Alert Staples!

Its not earth-shattering innovation but a simple tweak that makes the Alert Staples a very clever product. The last endpins of the staples are painted red, just to let you know that the end is near and replenishment of pins is required. When you are on a stapling spree, this kinda helpful hint helps! Ask your office staff!

Designers: Wei-Ling Hsu, Yu-Ren Lai & Cyuan-Yi You
