Ci credereste che negli anni ‘60 il Ministry of Technology inglese aveva fatto realizzare sette bus con cinema integrato a bordo. Solo uno di questi è sopravvissuto e dopo essere stato restaurato, ora viene usato per qualsiasi tipo di valida collaborazione.

In anticipation of next month’s launch of www.dezeenwatchstore.com, we’re presenting two pop-up watch stores in London during the London Design Festival featuring products including the new navy Uniform Wares watch (above).
Conceived as “watch petting zoos”, the pop-ups will enable visitors to meet, handle, and hopefully fall in love with, our launch collection of watches, including the V02BR by Void Watches (above) and Cyclops by Mr Jones Watches (below).
The first pop-up opens this Saturday at Skitsch, 270 Brompton Road, London SW3 and the second opens on Wednesday 22 September at The Tramshed, 32 Rivington Street, London EC2A. Both run until Sunday 26 September.

Parsons The New School for Design has formally announced that designer Rama Chorpash has been named director of product design in its School of Constructed Environments, which offers undergraduate and graduate programs in fields including architecture, interior design, and lighting design. Chorpash—who has designed for the likes of Herman Miller, Swatch, Hewlett-Packard—will direct the school’s bachelor of fine arts program in product design, help to develop a graduate program in product design, and teach collaborative studios in contemporary design practice. He previously served as as the chair of industrial design at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts. “It is an exciting time to be leading product design at Parsons,” said Chorpash in a statement announcing his appointment. “The interdisciplinary dialogue that is happening not only within the School of Constructed Environments, but with faculty and students from fashion design, design and technology, and other areas of practice truly capture what it means to be a product designer in the 21st century.”
Parsons has also added three more faculty members to its School of Constructed Environments. Alice Chun has been named assistant professor of design, material culture, and fabrication. She will also serve as curator of the Angelo Donghia Materials Library and Study Center at Parsons—and in her spare time work on a project to develop a new material prototype integrating fabric and photovoltaics. In January, architect Anupama Kundoo will begin her appointment as assistant professor of environmental technology and material sciences. Rounding out the innovative bunch is climate engineer-turned-energy efficiency consultant David White, who also joins the Parsons faculty as an assistant professor of environmental technology and material sciences.

pSure it’s a bit hard to read, but the clock is not necessarily intended for those high-pressure trading floors and airports; according to Woo, it’s meant to express that “Although the world exists [in] different time zones, it’s always moving together without pause.”br /

blockquoteAs the editorial director of IMotorcycle Consumer News/I and IAuto Restorer/I, I had the privilege of scientifically testing hundreds of motorcycle and automotive products, often to destruction.

Design studio Berg’s new film for Dentsu London looks at the more playful uses for the ubiquitous “glowing rectangles”, such as drawing type in the air…
“‘Making Future Magic’ is Dentsu London‘s communications strategy and guides the work that we make,” the agency’s Beeker Northam explains in the above film, which introduces Berg‘s creative interpretation of the Dentsu philosophy.
“We’re using their strategy to explore how the media landscape is changing,” write Berg on their blog, listing two statements from Northam that have informed the work’s development to date: “What might a magical version of the future of media look like?” and “We [Dentsu] are interested in the future, but not so much in science-fiction – more in possible or invisible magic.”
Berg say that they chose to interpret that brief “by exploring how surfaces and screens look and work in the world. We’re finding playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.” So they used the iPad to “light paint” single photos, which were then put together as stop-frame animations. Essentially they “extrude the light” by running the animation on the iPad and slowly dragging it in front of a camera on a long exposure. Berg’s Jack Schulze explains all on the video above.
