200 ld Stage Suit

Le designer taïwanais Wei-Cheih Shih a eu l’idée “lumineuse” de créer cette veste et habit de scène avec plus de 200 diodes lasers rouges. Un concept intéressant basé sur du nylon, illustré par une série de photographies ayant un fort impact visuel.

Bill’s Blog over at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum

pimg src=”http://www.core77.com/blog/images/2010/05/190.jpg” width=”468″ height=”300″ alt=”190.jpg”//p

pBill Moggridge, now Director of the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum has started a href=”http://blog.cooperhewitt.org/2010/04/21/a-car-in-the-house-bill-moggridge”enthusiastically blogging and this post/a came to our attention a href=”http://metacool.typepad.com/metacool/2010/05/bill-moggridge-blogger.html”via MetaCool/a. Here’s a snippet of the fun Bill’s having, curating design that makes a difference,/p

blockquoteThe poster on the fence outside the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum showed a photograph of the Tata Nano with the caption “actual size.” That didn’t mean that it was easy to install for display in the museum, as you can see from a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohz_4LNvr-o”this little movie/a (filmed by our media makers Shamus Adams and Alex Tibbets). One of the challenges of using the Carnegie Mansion as a design museum is that the architects of the building never expected that we would want to install a motorcar in the great hall!

pThe good news is that oura href=”http://cooperhewitt.org/redesign/” RE:DESIGN renovation project/a is under way. Work has started on the Miller/Fox townhouses on 90th Street that will house the National Design Library and staff offices. When we have moved into the renovated space next year, work will start on the Museum itself, adding new gallery space on the third floor and allowing us to offer a permanent (but frequently refreshed) exhibition on the ground floor called “What is Design?” There we will talk about the contribution that design can make at all levels, illustrated by examples from our collection and elsewhere./blockquote /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/business/bills_blog_over_at_the_cooper-hewitt_design_museum_16523.asp”(more…)/a

Quote of Note | John Baldessari

baldessari1986.jpg“…I was teaching live drawing in a community college and students started zoning in on the face and spending a couple of hours on that and then putting the rest of the body on the face only in the last hour. It didn’t work to just tell them, ‘Well, you’re really not thinking of the body as a totality.’ So in desperation I would put a drape over the model’s head so they couldn’t see it. They had to draw the body and then at the end of the session for an hour I would take the drape off just to try to reverse their procedure.”

Chill Out

Whether trekking miles in the Grand Canyon with a six-pack or adventuring in the backyard, these coolers offer as many ways to enjoy a cool drink as there are places to sip them.

CoolersCoolBottle.jpg CoolersColdKeeper.jpg

The Cool Bottle ($35), a simple frosted decanter, comes in perfect for keeping beverages chill for leisurely stretches on the veranda or stoop.

When you want food not just cold but frozen, Prepara’s Ice Cream ‘Cool Keeper’ keeps the creamy goodness cold but hands warm, and with a built-in spoon holder to boot. The Cool Keeper is $10 from Prepara. A neat alternative, we covered Zak Design’s Ice Cream Keeper in 2008, and you can buy it from the
MoMA store
($14).

CoolersREIPack.jpg CoolersColemanSteel.jpg

Famed masters of the outdoors, R.E.I. makes toting easy with their Backpack Cooler. Pack it out for $45 or choose from a variety of other portable soft-pack models.

CoolersRelish.jpg

The old-school master, Coleman keeps its rugged name unsullied with the 54-quart Stainless Steel Belted Cooler, for $220. There’s also the more economical, but similarly classic, Steel-Belted Cooler for $139.95.

For urbanites, the Built‘s Extra Relish Lunch Tote in bright Nolita Stripe or Ski Patrol Red keeps the lunch and the look ice cold.
