Here are some more details from Uniform Wares:
Launch of Uniform Wares’ third collection of timepieces, the 300 Series Chronograph Calendar Wristwatch
Shown here for the first time in 3 unique finishes, PVD Matt Black, PVD Brass or Satin Brushed Stainless Steel, these watches have been designed to emphasise the elegantly balanced symmetry of this classic chronograph complication.
All watches feature Italian calf leather straps and a 316L stainless steel case that houses a 23 jewel Swiss ETA chronograph calendar movement with timing precision to 1/10 second.
Uniform Wares designs and produces timepieces intended for everyday use by individuals with an eye for meticulous design details.
Their products have an intentionally pared down design that is characterised by distinct form, materials, colour and surface finish.
The Uniform Wares aesthetic has been tailored with longevity in mind, believing that a product should have a practical and visual permanence.

A bumper round-up of new work for you this week, starting with this unusual ad for the LG Kompressor Elite vacumn cleaner, which turns an average living room into the setting for a shark horror movie. Watch out Barbie, watch out! The ad was created by Young & Rubicam NY, and directed by Psyop. Full credits can be found here.
Goodby, Silverstein & Partners has created this amusing ad for Logitech Revue, which stars Kevin Bacon playing his own number one fan. Creatives: Croix Gagnon, Nathaniel Lawlor. Director: Ringan Ledwidge. Production company: Smuggler.
Yannick Puig, who won the Aniboom competition in this year’s Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors’ Showcase in Cannes with his film I Lived On The Moon, has directed this charming spot for the Toyota Corolla. Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, Los Angeles.
Interactive robotic arms seem all the rage in advertising at the moment. First there was the Xbox Halo: Reach campaign, which allowed Facebook users to contribute to a virtual monument created via a robot, and now there are two more robot-based projects. The first, a film of which is shown above, is for Vodafone and invites Facebook users to smash a giant piñata using a robotic arm. The agency behind the campaign is The Jamboree in Sydney, and the Facebook app can be found at facebook.com/vodafoneau.
And then there’s this project for Talay Riley, an artist with Sony Music, which encourages fans of Riley to send him messages via Twitter (to @talayrobot). The Tweets are then written out by a giant robotic arm, filmed and then returned to the sender, accompanied by the soundtrack of Riley’s forthcoming single, Sergeant Smash. The film above shows the robot in action. Agency: FOAM/Sony Music Creative. Creative directors: Phil Clandillon, Steve Milbourne.
BBDO New York has created a series of ads to promote the DVD box sets of shows including True Blood, Entourage and Eastbound & Down. The campaign features home-made recreations of scenes from the television series (the True Blood ad is shown above), proving that it’s best to leave it to the professionals. For those who want to join in though, there is a website where visitors can make their own versions of selected scenes. Creatives: Chris Beresford-Hill, James Clunie. Director: Tim Godsall. Production company: Biscuit Filmworks.
A couple of phone apps for you now. First up is one for the Nokia N8 smartphone from Wieden + Kennedy in London. Titled Loop, the app allows users to record up to four sounds that can then be remixed to create music. The delightful film above, shot by Kim Gehrig through Academy Films, shows the app in action. Loop, which was developed by Hossein Ghaffari at Symsource, can be downloaded for free from the Nokia Ovi store. It is also compatible with the C7 phone device.
Converse has created an app for the iPhone that allows you to virtually try on any shoe in its collection by pointing the phone at your feet. Using AR, the shoe will be superimposed over your foot, giving a sense of whether it will suit. Created by R/GA in New York and Tacit Knowledge, the app can be downloaded via the iTunes store.
We end this week with an Xmassy interactive online experience from La Senza. Titled the Cup Size Choir, the website allows visitors to ‘play’ various women who sing different notes depending on their bra size. While not one for the feminists, the website has perhaps unsurprisingly already been an enormous success, with the film for it, shown above, already garnering well over a million hits. Agency: Karmarama.
Italian studio Antonio Ravalli Architetti have transformed the ground floor of a warehouse in Verona, Italy, into a showroom featuring gathered translucent curtains hanging from the ceiling.
The translucent curtains create partitions within the double-height space, which houses a clothing showroom that doubles up as a temporary exhibition space.
An air-conditioning system blowing air into the space causes the curtains to move continuously.
On the exterior, a reflective black glass façade at street level means that while views into the space are restricted, visitors can see clearly out to the street.
Stacks of reclaimed wooden beams have been painted white and topped with sheets of treated metal to provide tables.
Photographs are by Antonio Ravalli Architetti.
Here’s a bit more information from the architects:
CONDITIONS:
The program plans to set a clothing showroom, with an inclination to host contemporary art exhibition, inside an anonymous warehouse of the 70’s located in the outskirts of Verona, counting on an absolutely limited budget.
It’s necessary to gain more rooms for the different activities out of a whole, stereometric, double height space, perimetered by a high ribbon window.
Outside, the warehouse is placed inside a good quality urban scene, with a wide view which opens to east.
DEVICES:
A light and permeable separation, made of nonwoven fabric used in agriculture, constitutes the structure for the different rooms.
A black glass window establish the relation between inside and outside, softening the interior light, while signaling to the outside the singularity of the realized space.
The grey paint used for the whole interior space, is applied equally to the external façades, dematerializing the anonymous prospects of the existing building.
Furniture are entirely made with stacks of white painted, recovered wooden beams.
The tables, made of metal sheets treated with acid, host the working stations.
The industrial-like air conditioning system reacts with the lightness of the fabric walls, creating a continuous soft movement which emphasize the dynamism of the space.

Have you dreamed of learning from the likes of Steven Heller, Gail Anderson, Stefan Sagmeister, and Brian Collins? These design legends (and many more) are among the design star-studded faculty of the School of Visual Arts’ MFA Design program, a two-year intensive that prepares students to excel as designers and “authors” of original ideas and unique products, using a range of media and media platforms. To get the full scoop, we would ordinarily recommend that you attend an information session in New York, but the innovative types at SVA are getting the word out to design education seekers the world over with a new series of online videos. Watch Heller and Lita Talarico, the program’s co-chairs, discuss the “Designer as Entrepreneur” program, then get acquainted with the MFA Design Studio, current students, and accomplished alumni. And did we mention the part about studying typography in Venice, swapping stories with faculty member Maira Kalman, and studying “Design and Intentions” under the all-seeing eye of Milton Glaser? Applications are due by January 15 for fall enrollment. Dig into more details here.
