“Many of his best-known works explore architecture and the mechanics of perception, almost as if the fantastical imaginings of Buckminster Fuller were reinterpreted by a cognitive scientist.”

“Clouds” are innovative, colorful, soft fabric DIY “tiles” – basically like adult lego, invented by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and presented at Milan Design Week 09. Every company should have an all-age “play room” of these.

The Netherlands’ Design Connection Brainport and Design Academy Eindhoven have joined forces to present Jewels and Joules in Milan later this month. Presenting “Jewels of captivating design from a selection of talents, produced, assembled and polished by the industry of Brainport Eindhoven. To be enjoyed with the energy in joules from fresh and frank food out of the inventive kitchen of Design Academy Eindhoven.” Above, Marieke van der Bruggen’s ‘Garden of delight’ tree branches made of coloured glucose.
