A small asteroid passed within the moon’s distance from the Earth on Wednesday morning, and another will do likewise later in the day, space watchers say.

The objects don’t pose a threat to Earth, and they will not be visible to the naked eye, said Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA’s Near Earth Program, which tracks potentially hazardous asteroids and comets within 28 million miles of Earth.

Near-Earth asteroid 2010 RX30, which is estimated to be 32 to 65 feet in diameter, passed within 154,000 miles of Earth at 5:51 a.m. ET Wednesday, the website PopFi.com confirmed.

The second object, 2010 RF12, estimated to be 20 to 46 feet in diameter, will pass within 49,088 miles of Earth at 5:12 pm ET.

pIt’s not apparent from its rough-hewn facade, but “a href=”http://moss-gallery.com/section/185640_CURRENT_EXHIBITION_MAKE_ME.html”Make Me/a,” recently opened at a href=”http://www.mossonline.com/”Moss/a in New York, has a romantic bent. The romance lies in a classic juxtaposition: a tough exterior combined with a sensitive core (think the lumberjack who is a gourmet chef; an ironworker with a PhD in philosophy). These kind of hard-shell with gooey-center contrasts are all over “Make Me.” We let the description speak for itself in our a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/make-me_the_emergence_of_butch-craft_in_contemporary_design__17314.asp”announcement/a, but a reminder: “a cerebral-yet-virile narrative applied to rough work crafted in wood, iron, steel, marble, rust, paint, boiled leather, clay, baked agricultural waste, plant-life, gypsum drywall, and blood, sweat, and tears.”/p

pThose last three elements are the keys to this show: a human made this stuff, by hand, and with consideration. Blood, sweat, and tears run through each piece: in process, materials, function, and concept. These elements are evident in the visible shiny gold screws fastening rough planks of Douglas Fir in a href=”http://www.petermarigold.com/”Peter Marigold’s/a Man Made series, as well as in the charred wood negative providing support for its blown glass bowl in Jakub Berdych’s Landscape Series, and they are possibly most apparent in a href=”http://www.oscarnarud.com/”Oscar Magnus Narud’s/a remaining pencil marks created in the making of his Keel Collection of furniture. /p

pMany of the designers created these objects using accessible and traditional craft techniques, and a few even went medieval. The works are not pretty or delicate or austere. They are a little messy and not immediately beautiful, but they are made by hand using simple and classic materials, with complex consideration put into them by their creators. They look rough at the outset, and upon further examination, reveal finesse. /pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/blood_sweat_and_tears_in_make_me_at_moss_17450.asp”(more…)/a

Wrist watch-inspired jewelry from Swedish goldsmith Göran Kling

A mix of conceptual design and traditional craftsmanship, Swedish designer Göran Kling recently released his first commercial collection, Replica.

In an “homage to exclusive wrist watches, Swiss craft skills and cheap knock-offs,” Kling integrates the intricate detailing and fine metalwork of classic timepieces into effortlessly sophisticated bracelets.

The recent graduate of Konstfack College of Art and Design applies his studies to his background as a goldsmith for a collection that shows a strong appreciation for the sentimental value of jewelry and a talent for modern design.

Many of the pieces in the new collection play on the standard wristwatch build, with an artistic pendant replacing the clock. Some pieces clearly herald standard watches while others interpret the pattern more liberally, with multiple bands or textured metal pieces in place of the watch face.

You can get the easily wearable and innovative designs by contacting Göran directly, with prices typically set around €300 per piece.

Une collaboration entre le constructeur Citroën et la célèbre marque de vêtements Lacoste avec ce concept-car très original. Des caractéristiques simples pour un gain de place dans le véhicule et le coffre, afin de l’accompagner d’équipements sportifs. Plus d’images dans la suite.
