About Parfois

If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's 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 are 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.

Le Monde des Montagnes – Camille Scherrer

09.03.10


In the dreamy Le Monde des Montagnes (The World of Mountains), an ECAL graduate project by Camille Scherrer awarded the Pierre Bergé prize for Best European Design Diploma in 2008, a regular book about the Swiss mountains sits on a table. Above hovers a camera disguised as a desk lamp thats linked to a nearby monitor. But when a user adjusts the lamp or moves the book in her hands, the picture on the screen depicts a fantasy land where peculiar, other-worldy images—images that arent there in the hardcopy—glide across the pages Snowflakes fall, birds fly, forest creatures peer from trees.

Martin Meier is currently working as a seniour designer lead at IDEO Munich, Fabian Nehne is senior designer at Deutsche Telekom.

These still are renders, but I think it’s a nice interpretation of this well known colour system. >> Read more

Dear visitors, Parfois has been offline for a couple of days now. We moved to a new server, and things took longer than we planned.  Right now the Blog is back online, but there are still some things to configure. We expect to be up and running again on monday. Thank you all for your patience.
