Designmöbel für Jedermann, #Hartz-IV-Möbel — konstruieren statt konsumieren // #dscholarship

21. August 2014 von glanzundgloria

Wie in dem einen oder anderen Kommentar gepostet: ich bin schon wieder verliebt. In die wunderschönen (Outdoor) Sessel „Forest“. Hätte ich am liebsten in kiwi, weiß, taupe und grau. Hat nur einen Haken, pro Stuhl müssen 439,- € über den Ladentisch gehen, warum muss guter Geschmack so teuer sein?! „Es gibt leider mehr Menschen mit gutem Geschmack als Menschen mit gutem Einkommen“, hat sich auch Architekt und Gestalter Van Bo Le-Mentzel gedacht, und bereits 2012 das Hartz-IV-Möbel-Buch geschrieben, mit dem sich […]

#sugru — fix it yourself!

14. August 2014 von glanzundgloria

Vor knapp zwei Jahren (wow, schon so lange her?!) hatten wir schon mal einen Blogeintrag zu der Erfinderin von sugru, aber da es immer noch Menschen gibt, die sugru nicht kennen, machen wir noch einen 🙂 Und weil es so schön ist, hier noch ein tolles Beispiel von sugru und LEGO:

Wanna be a knight in shining armour? Then this is for you! #iamknight

21. Mai 2014 von schall & rauch

Every designer has his/her own pet issue, hobby, favourite pastime, whatever you want to call it. And some apparently have a thing for knights. Maybe they’ve watched or read too many stories on King Arthur’s Round Table, fascinated by their quest for the Holy Grail. Or they are into history and the Crusades. Or they just love Renaissance Fairs. Whatever the reason for Iamknight to get the idea, they did a great job at making an armoured knight hoodie, didn’t […]

Endlich Frühling! Platz für Neues! Pumpipumpe — ich würde dir meine Küchenwaage leihen! #pumpipumpe

20. März 2014 von glanzundgloria

Wie schön, der Frühlingsanfang zeigt sich von seiner allerschönsten Seite! Die Sonne scheint, es ist mild, die Leute gehen gelassen durch die Straßen und lächeln sogar dann und wann — einfach so! Wir haben den Frühlingsanfang mit lecker Kaffee & Tee in der Sonne gestartet, so lass ich mir den Tag gefallen. Der Frühling bringt nicht nur gute Laune, sondern auch gleich gute Energie á la „Fenster putzen könnte ich auch mal wieder“, und auch meine Küchenschränke könnten mal wieder […]

The #future is #now! No more stuffed wallets, just one #Coin and maybe some change. Easy.

26. November 2013 von schall & rauch

I don’t know why it’s called a Coin but it is a pretty cool and space-saving idea for some light-weight everydaying. This all-in-one card gets rid of all the payment and membership cards that usually clog up purse or wallet. It reminds me of the various infamous credit card TV commercials promising freedom and comfort and consequently suggesting prosperity and beauty. Sold! And if not, watch this: Bottom line: besides its simple and appealing design and the space-saving all-in-one aspect, […]

Architectural #genius or #statement? Seoul will have Siamese Twin Towers: the #Cloud.

18. Oktober 2013 von schall & rauch

Expected to be finished in 2015, the cloud designed by Rotterdam-based architectural office MVRDV is already attracting a fair bit of attention or rather criticism, mostly due to this image and its associations some people might have. Do you see it, too? Given the perspective and the world events of recent years, it might well be the worst ever design for a couple of tall towers, no matter where. But if you try to imagine a world without wars or […]

What happens when a #design publisher goes #event organiser? This: Selected Europe 2013 in #Bilbao on 18/19 October

4. Oktober 2013 von schall & rauch

Index Book is an awesome Spanish publishing house that in its own words specialises in graphic design books and visual creativity. You don’t know them? Yet! Because for the 4th time, they are holding a design conference with workshops called SELECTED Graphic Design from EUROPE. This year, it’s called the D edition and for a second time it is held in Bilbao, home of the famous Guggenheim Museum and El Puente de Vizcaya, the oldest transporter bridge on the planet! […]

This is such an incredible idea! And sooooo simple: Phonebloks. WOW!

13. September 2013 von schall & rauch

I am absolutely shocked that Phonebloks has not been come up with before. This just proves once again that simplicity is hard to pay attention to when we try to envision great things. Sure, the design might need some work but the idea is AWESOME! And worth everyone’s support! This, Mr. Cook, is something you should help develop instead of putting a bloody plastic phone on the market that is not only a big step backwards in terms of creating […]
