I don’t really like the design of this watch, but I think the idea is great! More on his website

When visiting Pieterjan in Berlin we came across this beauty in the daimler contemporary .

Designed for the Tropique house, Potence, a swivelling wall light is considered one of Jean Prouvé’s purist masterpieces. In particular, it is its sparing use of materials and austere design that make the luminaire fascinating.

It’s in production at Vitra, but I think I’m going to make one myself …

When artist Julien Berthier goes out for a boat ride is his boat people often try to rescue him. He has cut an old boat in half and restored it in a quite non conventional way. U might have seen it before since it is a work from 2007, but just in case u missed it u can see the whole project at read more.

Clamp-a-book, clamp-a-hook, clamp-a cable… Design solutions derived from the clamp typology: a family of informal objects, each with a specific function.

Be sure to check his website, this guy has some realy nice, simple projects.

The collection of these adaptive utensils for the domestic environment include a book-end accompanied by a book ‘finger’, a book display, a hook and a rail that clamp onto the side of horizontal surfaces, a hook to clamp on to electrical pipes, a candle holder, and a cable manager that can be clamped onto a table leg.

Parfois payed a visit to the new home of Pieterjan, Berlin! One of the first things we did over there was the Daimler Contemporary. A small gallery that’s a bit hidden, but worth the search.

The ‘Minimalism and Applied II’ exhibition is intended as a series of arrangements of art, architecture and design objects ‘in dialogue’.

Some of the artists: Eileen Gray (IRL), Charlotte Perriand (F), Jean Prouvé (F), Gerrit Rietveld (NL)

If you can, go and have a look. The exhibition runs from October 29, 2010 until March 27, 2011

A friend of parfois (Valentina Cangiamila) who we met while she was working at demakersvan, has sended us her latest project, MOLLI, made together with Cristina D’Apollonio. The simple concept and design allows great fun for young and old, more info u can find on their website www.lefilomene.it.

The Dutch designer and graduate from Design Academy Eindhoven Anique Noordman realised this series of delicate, “subcutaneously” patterned textiles as her final project. Due to geometric pieces of rubber and vinyl which are mounted behind the fabric the curtain recieves in a certain stiffness and the drapery appears according to the grid of the inlays.

If you like this project, and your rich, please support Saikat Biswas in the production of Holga D. This way we can all buy this great looking product.

Holga D is a digital camera inspired from the extremely popular cult Holga and other toy cameras of its kind. Even though it is a digital camera, it retains the qualities and simplicity of the original Holga camera and brings back the joy and delayed gratification associated with good old analog photography.

For those who are not aware off Holga,it is year inexpensive, medium format 120 film toy camera, known for its whimsical and surreal images. It mounts a  low-cost construction and simple plastic lens often showing vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other “qualities” that are normally unacceptable in the mainstream photography. It has become really popular in recent years due to its analogic approach.

Don’t like all the things shown in this movie, but some are really worth watching. The cloud-machine by Daniel Schulze ‘takes my breath away’.

Young talented designers and students were the focus of this years DMY Youngsters exhibition. Many of the works were quite experimental or research driven resulting in interesting ideas and shapes for these new makers.
