Le constructeur Lamborghini a récemment créé l’évènement en annonçant le lancement d’un nouveau modèle, la Huracan, nom donné à un taureau de combat au 19ème siècle. Avec un nouveau moteur V10 de 5,2 litres pour 601 chevaux, cette Lamborghini Huracan 2015 propose une ligne agressive et élancée du plus bel effet.

South Korean designer Jinil Park has created a range of furniture from intersecting wires that has the appearance of a two-dimensional sketch.
Made from steel wire, Park‘s Drawing Series comprises four pieces, including two chairs, two lamps and a table, which give the impression of roughly drawn sketches.
“The key point of my work is the moments where the line is distorted,” said Jinil Park. “They express the designer’s feeling, status, and emotion.”
Park began by sketching furniture with intersecting lines and selected her favourites to recreate in three dimensions according to how feasible they would be as structures.
The designer hammered wires of different thicknesses to distort the lines in order to recreate variations in the lines drawn with a pen. Park then intersected the wires and welded them together until a strong enough structure was achieved.
“Instinctively, I created the conjunction of these thin wires that eventually hold the human weight while a single wire cannot,” explained Park.
The Drawing Series was exhibited at the Gwangju Design Biennale in South Korea from September to November 2013.
Here is some more information from the designer:
The concept for my project is the drawing, as you can see the concept for the project is very simple and it is furniture brought out from the drawing. The brainstorming of the project was actually by accident. I was thinking of making a new project by comfortably drawing lines and I found and realised fun and inquiring moments about the strokes that I drew on a paper. I personally thought that the outcome of those strokes can bring very interesting object.
The key point of my work is the moments where the line is distorted. They express the designer’s feeling, status, and emotion. In the matter of design, the line plays a very basic but also crucial role because it is an element that generates a standard point for both the beginning and the end of any work piece.
From the sketches of the furniture, originated from the line drawing, I picked the ones that I like the most and also the ones that I can make the solid object out of it. And to achieve that solid object, I used different wires that have different thicknesses by hammering on different faces of the wires with irregular strength. Therefore, I could demonstrate the wires as if it came out from the line drawing. And this process took the most of time to create this piece.
Collections of the wires that are created by this process are welded when they are combined and intersected together. Instinctively I created the conjunction of these thin wires that eventually holds the human weight while a single wire cannot. By this, I could materialise the 2D drawing to 3D generously.

Design Miami 2013: this chair shaped like the fanned fail of a peacock by Toronto design studio UUfie was one of the most talked-about pieces at the Design Miami collectors’ fair last month.
The symmetrical shape of UUfie‘s Peacock chair is made from a latticed sheet of Corian, a solid surface material that’s often used for kitchen work surfaces and bathrooms, which curls round at the bottom and spreads out at the top to create the back of the chair.
The sheet was slit to create the lattice then stretched apart and folded round in a thermoforming process that uses heat to soften the material.
“Like children playing with paper by cutting, bending and folding it, we have created a single sheet of acrylic composite material into a peacock,” said the designers. “Resembling a peacock tail in courtship or a blossom opening, it makes a visual statement in any space, indoors or outdoors.”
The chair comes in two sizes and can be made in any colour. It was presented at Design Miami 2013 last month by Galleria Rosanna Orlandi and is now on show in Milan at Spazio Rossana Orlandi.

News: London retailer and furniture designer Zeev Aram (pictured) is among figures from the design world awarded in the New Year Honours 2014.
Others on the list of those to be honoured include interior designer Ilse Crawford for services to interior design and Kevin McCloud, presenter of the television programme Grand Designs and founder of eco-housing development company Hab Housing, for services to sustainable design and energy saving property refurbishment. Both will become a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE).
Sculptor Antony Gormley is to become one of the Knights Bachelor for services to the arts and Erica Bolton of PR firm Bolton and Quinn will be awarded an OBE for services to the arts. Unusually, this is the second year in a row that no architects have been honoured.
Zeev Aram will become an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), a title in the British honours system that recognises “a distinguished regional or county-wide role in any field”, for services to design and architecture.
The founder of the Aram Store, now located in London’s Covent Garden, moved from Israel to London in 1957 and studied design at the Central School of Art and Design. In 1964 he opened a showroom on fashionable Kings Road in London where he became the first to introduce pieces by iconic designers including Achille Castiglioni, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier and Eileen Gray to the UK.
He holds the worldwide license to produce work by Irish modernist Gray, a contemporary of Le Corbusier who was revered for her work at the time but almost forgotten until Aram rediscovered her. He’s recently launched a website about her work and extraordinary life, which is now being made into a feature film.
The New Year Honours are presented on 1 January each year “in recognition of the achievements and service of extraordinary people right across the United Kingdom”. This is the first year that more women than men have been awarded.
Last year industrial designer Kenneth Grange received a knighthood and in 2012 Jonathan Ive and Marc Newson were both honoured, along with architect John McAslan.
