Hasta La Ideas

pHere’s a couple of interesting videos done by Austin-based design studio A HREF=”http://www.zoticusdesign.com/” Zoticus Design/A, displaying computing-of-the-future concepts that demonstrate client Freescale’s networking prowess. In the second video, I dig the way the woman sends info to her tablet around 1:15; the first video is otherwise the more interesting one, but I kept thinking “Why in God’s name is that little girl wearing so much makeup?”/p

It’s getting to be a Friday afternoon before a holiday and you and we both know you’re not getting any work done today. So here are some visual distractions to painlessly kill at least half an hour of this long, long day. Since most everyone has agreed that this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale is the bee’s knees, we thought we’d take a quick, all-video tour of some of the more high-profile exhibits. First, Designboom takes a look at Hans Ulrich Obrist‘s commissioned project wherein he interviewed the event’s participants. Therein you’ll find some behind-the-scenes shots of the video shoot, as well as a couple of linked clips from the exhibit, including one by this year’s curator, Kazuyo Sejima. Second, Domus took a tour of OMA‘s exhibit at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, interviewing the project’s architect along the way. Definitely worth watching. Last, Frank Gehry was there in Venice to show off models of the massive park project he’s developing for the city of Arles in France. Since we know all that reading, clicking, and watching has left you all the more sluggish, we’ll do you one last favor and embed Gehry’s talk about that project, right here:

Bijoux (above) by van Eijk consists of two cake stands and a money box with ceramic bases finished in gold enamel.

Veni Vidi Vici (above) by Baron are three vases that can be used either way up.

Maison&Objet continues until 7 September.

Here’s some more from Secondome:

SECONDOME Edizioni September 2010

The Secondome family is getting bigger…

Getting bigger is the designers “family” : after Sam Baron together with the young designers from Fabrica (center in research in communication of Benetton group) we invited 5.5 Designers (group of 4 designers), Kiki Van Eijk and Joost Van Bleiswijk (Dutch designers whom reputation is international) for the September 2010 collection.

Getting bigger is also the products “family” : with new items in borosilicated hand blown glass, a material we are using from the beginning and for the very first time this material is coloured or combined with our traditionnal ceramic produced on a wheel and enamelled with gold or platinium.
