Some fairly unusual new work from Robert Stadler. It’s a whole set of funiture that was designed to look accidental, but actually be ergonomic. He mixes glossy, more ridgid surfaces with softer, matte, upolstered pieces. I also like his ‘Gold Dipped’ pen.
FORMation Alliance sent over a couple of design related iPhone apps, great way to nerd out on designy stuff when you’re away from your computer.
The first is a colour matching game that provides a coloured dot that has to be matched using RGB sliders. Pretty cool, clever reference to Ishihara color test plates. The second, KERN, involves lining up letters to fit into words that slowly drop from the top of the screen. Points are awarded according to accuracy and the point size of the dropping words.
If the above image just looks like a collection of circles (i.e. you don’t see any letters) I suggest that you consult your optometrist asap.
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that we’ve got a fresh new look for the blog. After a lot of coding, tweaking and generally making a mess of CSS, I’ve managed to get it to look half-decent (let me know what you think of it!) It still remains a work-in-progress. The goal of this redesign was to make it easier to get around and add some more color. After all, you know we’re suckers for color!
Last but not least, our large header incorporates the work of a featured artist. We’ll be featuring different artists in that space and rotating them over time to keep things interesting. This isn’t a sponsored spot, but rather a testament to our support of great artists. Our first feature is of the brilliant and witty Simon Oxley, one of our all-time favorites.
Enjoy!

An interesting notebook with blank city walls instead of blank pages.
Design kawaii ispirati ai manga, kimono dai colori sgargianti che si rifanno alle ultime tendenze della moda giapponese, le Kokeshi del nuovo millennio si chiamano Momiji Doll e vengono dall’Inghilterra. Le Momiji Doll sono bamboline in resina dipinte a mano, alte circa 8 cm. Lanciate da Artforum nel 2006, sono diventate in breve tempo tra gli oggetti più collezionati dalle giovani britanniche, con vendite paragonabili a quelle delle più note “rivali” Hello Kitty e Pucca. Sulla base di ogni bambola c’è un piccolo foro dove inserire un messaggio segreto.
