About Parfois
If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio… But… its not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there 4 of us blogging on a regular basis.Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we’ll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.

I came across this chair yesterday while looking in an old magazine. It’s not the first time I saw it, but I think it’s a real nice design. Sober elegance. Timeless simplicity. And an unconditional love of innovative durable materials. Belgian outdoor design furnituremakers Tribù and belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen soon gravitated towards each other. A frame in painted aluminium, injected under high pressure, and a seat in Batyline or bent beech wood, treated by the patented Belmadur® process. This process represents a revolutionary technology, developed by BASF, to enhance the quality of european wood, thus making it an obvious alternative to tropical hardwood. Result: extra-strong furniture that is also ultralight and thus easy to rearrange. >> Read more

I know, another movie, but I think it’s a real nice project, watch it!
Inkquencer is an interaction design project by danish designer sebastian ronde thielke, which plays music based on a computer’s camera input. To interact with the project, users draw shapes and patterns on pieces of paper and hold them up to the camera on a computer. The computer captures an image of the drawing and compresses it into a 32×30 pixel version. The computer then plays the image, making a sound for each black pixel. The system can be applied to a drawing randomly or can be ‘played’ by uses with basic knowledge of the inkquencer’s process. Coming from a music background, ronde thielke wanted to find ways of bringing music sequencing into the physical world to allow for ‘a more direct tangible way of experimenting with sound and rhythm.’ >> Read more
