The furniture pieces in this house are made and designed by Jonas Blondeel, Len De Paepe and the Stal Collectief. The house is in Washington right now, where it is trying to win the solar decathlon competition!

Ghent University’s E-Cube is an affordable, do-it-yourself building kit for a solar-powered house that is pre-engineered, factory-built, and easily assembled without special skills.

The use of scaffolding for its material refers to public works, and aims to trigger all sorts of associations to this material: change, evolution, restoration, starting of larger works, the beginning of something new… Locals and passerby are in this way involved and mobilized for the possible change that LINK aims to bring in.

Paris based illustrator/ graphic designer Florence Bamberger uses vibrant colors, wavy contours and organice shapes to define her vision on reality. Some works have a message, be it political or commercial some are personal. A small selection after the bump.

I am proud to present you the new lamp me and three friends made with our new collective named: Stal

the lamp “eliz” forms a contrast between the elegant base and the large felt hood that seems to float above it. This adjustable lamp creates an intimate space and ensures a pleasant light zone and can be used in living room, waiting rooms, restaurants or as event furniture. the frame structure consists of birch plywood and is supported by a thin metal base. the synthetic felt can be replaced by veneer or a plexiglass cover for outdoor use. this creation is the result of a collaboration between four young furniture designers who studied in mechelen: len de paepe, bob segers, tim vranken and jonas blondeel. contact us at info@stalcollectief.com

Emerging British designer David Irwin has created this stackable utilitarian stool for the young Newcastle-based manufacturer Deadgood. Made of lacquered beech and powder coated steel, this understated piece is ‘a reinterpretation of an existing workshop stool’ while the discreet brass detailing and individual engraving give the design a smart, polished look.

First time we post GIF’s on parfois.

Bram Kinsbergen, creative mind and good friend of parfois made these gif-files based on the work of Eadweard Muybridge.

He’s curious on what other people think about them, so don’t hesitate if you have any comments!

Even when you close this page, they keep on going…

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

Rome is the latest result from a collaboration between Aaron Koblin and Mr.doob. They partnered up with the people from Google Chrome, North Kingdom, Radical Media, Mirada and Oddball Animation to create a music for the song ‘Black’ on Danger Mouse & Daniel Luppi’s new album called Rome.

The movie starts of with plane video footage, nicely shot, but nothing new. Once you fall asleep, you enter a 3D dream world where you are in control of what you see and how you change the environment. From changing a city into a green environment, to letting dark bulls and spiders run through a vast and open landscape, the animation is mesmerizing, jaw dropping and intensely inspirational.
And if that is not enough, the film ends in an open landscape where you can add your own pieces of artwork. When the films ends, you can enter the editor and add new objects in a similar style as Mindcraft. Your object will be added in the sky or on the surface of the last landscape where you and your birds will fly over.

Rome is one of the first good examples of what interactive experiences without Flash look like. It is mostly build in WebGL, a component that works inside HTML5′s canvas element and which enables hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. Apart from using this technology to its fullest, it uses Three.js for 3D generation and reflection and Processing.js as a simpler language to control the graphics. These are all open standards, which you can use yourself. Check out their Tech-page to learn more.

The film may not work in most browsers, nor on many computer, but it promises and exciting future for animation and rich interactive experiences on the web. For me it’s both an example and an inspiration for what is possible. And I hope many agree.
