Oh, the #Farmer & the Cowman – Geographical #shelving for nerds #designed by Ron Arad

1. November 2013 von schall & rauch

Okay, I admit it. I was ignorant. I didn’t yet know that Ron Arad is a renowned if not even famous London-based Israeli industrial designer, architect and artist. Did you? Anyhoo, this piece of his is called „2009, Oh The Farmer & the Cowman Should Be Friends„. Don’t ask me why (he’s always been traumatised by the fact that farmers and cowmen don’t like each other?

Rückblick #Selected D – #Graphic Design from Europe conference in #Bilbao, Spanien

22. Oktober 2013 von ach & krach

Ich gebe zu, diese Design Konferenz sagte mir erstmal nichts, wohl aber die Stadt, in der Selected D – Graphic Design from Europe tagte: das Städtchen Bilbao mit dem sehenswerten Guggenheim Museum, dem Flaggschiff der Stadt, gestaltet von Frank O. Gehry. Da war die Entscheidung schnell getroffen und es war rückblickend goldrichtig! Die Konferenz war klein aber fein, vielfältig, interessant und inspirierend. Die Referenten waren wunderbar unterschiedlich, von freiberuflichen Designern und Studio-Inhabern bis hin zu Dozenten und preisgekrönten alten Hasen. […]

Digitise the good old days: with the retro-looking Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner

27. August 2013 von schall & rauch

Thanks to this little gadget, cold and rainy autumn days – that are sure to reclaim recently summer-spoilt Europe soon enough – will have definitely lost its depressive edge. When the time has come, I suggest sitting down with a good old cup of yummy hot chocolate, a big box full of old slides or filmstrips, your smartphone and this compact little film scanner: and you’ll have nothing short of a superbly entertaining afternoon turned evening turned nighttime walk down […]
