How to think outside the box: The Wave Cabinet #sculpture #furniture #art #design

23. September 2015 von schall & rauch

A „functional sculpture“, the „translation of craftsmanship into fine art“, a piece of furniture that can speak, a cabinet containing a big heart – the wave cabinet by New York based artist Sebastian ErraZuriz is all this and more. It’s pretty awesome, don’t you think! It certainly provides lots of room for the exploration of your creativity, although showing off with it will take a bit of skill. via Tech Insider

How to make the most of the space available: the #tiny triangle house #architecture #design

10. Februar 2015 von schall & rauch

What do you do with a cheap patch of land no-one wants – even in Japan – because building a house on it is next to impossible? Well, you make it possible. Smart and functional design is the way to go. Obviously. But how did that (group of) architect(s) from Mizuishi Architects Atelier make this tiny house look so big and spacious inside? It even sports a kids room or an attic space that can be turned into a kids room. No excuse for […]

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, […]

13. November 2013 von schall & rauch

Tired of your job? Bored with your surroundings? Can’t stand your neighbours? Not a problem! Well, it wouldn’t be if you lived in a ProtoHaus. You could just hook up the house to your car and go. Oh, but don’t forget to hand in your notice to your boss, file a change-of-address order with the post office, find a new dwelling in the destination of your choice, get another job and … okay okay okay, it wouldn’t be easy. But […]

5. November 2013 von schall & rauch

Art exists within its own right. Art is not about function. Or is it? Anna Kubelik, a Berlin-based performative object and space artist seems intent on proving that it is or at least can be. Meet the Well-Tempered Hygrometer. This is not just any modern hygrometer with a digital display telling you about the relative humidity of air, so you know how to style your hair or if you should take an umbrella along, just in case. This amazing piece […]
