Hasta La Ideas

Croatian designers Bruketa&Žinić have created a book that can only be identified in the dark. Watch the movie on Dezeen Screen »

When the lights are turned off, words glow on the cover and spine of the annual report for investment company Adris.

Copies of the book were displayed at a media festival room, designed by shop-concept studio Brigada, where lights were turned on and off at intervals.

Bruketa&Žinić previously designed a book that had to be baked before it could be read – see our earlier story.

Here are some more details from the design team:

Good ideas glow in the dark Inspired by the Adris annual report that glows in the dark, and that won many awards, we planned and set up the pavilion of Adris at the Weekend Media Festival, the largest regional festival of media industry.

We created a room in which, upon entering, the lights fade out and the only things that glow are the annual reports of Adris on shelves and tables.

Dezeen Watch Store now stocks LunaTik, which converts the Apple iPod Nano into a multi-touch watch. Meanwhile, Dezeen Screen now has a new movie of designer Scott Wilson telling the story of how he raised a million dollars to develop the product.

The LunaTik features a CNC-milled, aircraft-grade aluminium housing and a silicone rubber strap.

The housing holds the iPod Nano while still allowing access to the on/off switch and volume controls as well as the headphone jack and docking cable input. This means users can access all the functions of the Nano without removing it from their wrist.

The housing is available in silver, anodised red and PVD-coated black plus Dezeen Watch Store is also stocking the new limited-edition TakTik model (above), which has a camouflage band. Only 1,000 of the TakTik model have been produced, each band with its own unique woodland camouflage pattern created by hand-placing various camouflage-coloured pieces of silicone in the compression moulding tool.
