Jasper Morrison x Punkt, DP01 telephone

Il designer inglese Jasper Morrison (del quale posseggo con orgoglio un rack di pentole by Alessi x Esselunga ahhaah) ha disegnato per la neo-label svizzera Punkt il cordless DP01 telephone. La particolarità sta nel telefono appoggiato alla base con la parte frontale verso l’alto in modo da permettere agli utenti di leggere lo schermo ed usarlo senza prenderlo in mano. Funzionalità ridotte al minimo: acceso, spento, rubrica telefonica e segreteria telefonica.

Internet Week Europe

London is to host Internet Week Europe, “a week-long festival celebrating Europe’s thriving digital media industry and community”

Internet Week Europe will run from November 8–12 and feature a mixture of conferences, technology demos, panel discussions, educational programming and meet-ups to late-night parties at venues across the city, many of which will be free. Its organisers are the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, the group behind the Webby Awards.

The IADAS already runs Internet Week New York – its European equivalent will run along similar lines as an open umbrella under which independent events can gather.

The idea is that anyone, from major companies to collectives, colleges or grassroots organisations can get involved. All participants can add their event to the official calendar at no cost, and will have their events showcased and promoted as an Internet Week Europe Official Event Partner. So, no matter how small your event or your organisation, you can benefit form the overall profile of the week. If you are interested in signing up, more information is available at internetweekeurope.com

At the New York Internet Week this year, there were over 250 different events. More than 150 organisations were involved including YouTube, Mashable, The New Museum, New York University and Foursquare.

Poke London founders Nicolas Roope and Nick Farnhill will join David-Michel Davies, executive director of IADAS, as co-chairs of the London-based event.

CR is also invloved – our Click London conference is part of the programme.

Studio 13 16 by Mathieu Lehanneur at the Centre Pompidou

A room where teenagers can hang out designed by Mathieu Lehanneur has opened at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Called Studio 13/16, the interior features a twisting lighting and electrical track suspended from the ceiling, which can be used for filming, installing displays and suspending screens.

Blue ribbed seating forms a landscape to relax on, punctuated by sheet metal furniture housing DVD players, TVs and music systems.

“Studio 13/16″ by Mathieu Lehanneur at the Centre Pompidou

This area dedicated to adolescents and designed by Mathieu Lehanneur for the Centre Pompidou (Paris) opens on 11th September 2010. This initiative called “Studio 13/16″, inevitably risky for a museum when aimed at a volatile teenage population, finds a functional and formal solution based on the ergonomics of the desire “I dreamed about a place which was conceived and built like a television, cinema or music studio. I wanted this place to offer teenagers the same potential for action and creation as the professional equivalent. A far cry from an attempt to reconstruct a hypothetical ‘teen’ style, from adolescence I have only kept this desire – and at times this capacity – to contort things and places. I admire this unique way of making the world more flexible to better integrate into it. And what is true for a town or for clothing is even more so for institutions like museums…” sums up Mathieu Lehanneur.

Following David Edwards’s office for le Laboratoire (2009) designed like an intellectual weights room, Mathieu Lehanneur applies a method, to a scale increased tenfold to 210 m2, integrating the user’s functional and physical needs as much as their psychological ones.

“Visually and practically, Studio 13/16 is a supple, almost elastic place. Everything here seems to be in movement or ready to be so. A huge, black technology grill (greater than 120 m) extends over the whole of the ceiling to house all the lighting and sound equipment. It also allows works, screens and anything else you can imagine to be set up. A suspension of curves, ‘twists’ and ‘loops,’ it becomes, an impressive inverted roller-coaster.” Mobile pierced/perforated sheet metal furniture integrating technology (DVD, Hifi, etc…) completes this space central to a backstage atmosphere.

The magic of the adolescent state, this pledge in perpetual movement, finds a formal and functional place to suit it. On both sides of the entrance, two lounge areas in a relief design. Seemingly straight out of a tube of toothpaste, these surfaces allow and encourage any position possible. A far cry from an armchair or a sofa, what we have here is a landscape, a sea, an open space.

Media units punctuate these areas with inverted video surveillance cameras (it is the teenagers who observe the Centre Pompidou) and video content, they also have use of iPod plugs to connect and broadcast music in a zenithal and extremely precise way with a laser sound system: two teenagers or groups can then listen to their own music side by side without overhearing each other.

Encountering this vocabulary on entering which makes a mockery of multi-media codes (customised night club type laser, video projection), the teenagers will literally be sucked up by an airlock in the shape of a camera obscura type of giant camera bellows. A true “adolescent vacuum cleaner” as Mathieu Lehanneur’s agency suggests with humour which is now awaiting these guinea pigs to test the ambition of the venue.” I do not want to overly predict the way in which these teenagers are going to ‘inhabit’ this place. I would just like them to sneak in naturally from the Piazza to the Forum Bas, like a pull. I would also like them to be able to find their way around, compose, chat, surprise themselves, or go to sleep there… Finally I would like Studio 13/16 to succeed, where secondary schools have failed in the domain of creation.”

Street Style Inspiration – 3 Bloggers We Love!

imageThere’s a certain sense of admiration and wonderous confusion when it comes to self-made, self-created fashion bloggers that have the time and artistic eye to show us all their chic and stylish outifts. But when you get past wondering where they find the time and money to put together these drool-worthy looks (and who is this good friend that is taking all the editorial type pics of them??), you can’t deny that some of these girls have some real fashion chops. From nonchalant casual looks to va-va-voom ensembles, we’ve picked three bloggers that really know what’s up and are bringing their looks to you as an inspiration for our own day to day outfits. We’ve got Liz from ‘Late Afternoon’ in a lace and leopard-print masterpiece, who manages to utilize the current animal print trend and make it look classy and youthful. Then there’s Hanneli from her self-titled site, ‘Hanneli’, who impresses with a laid-back look of a silky top and staple denim shorts. Denni from ‘ChicMuse’ posts one traffic stopping style after another and this low-cut, bra-baring, edgy ensemble is no exception. So let’s be inspired. Click on the slideshow to see how to get look-a-like pieces and try out a look for yourself!
