BEST SHIT EVER!!!!!!

More Amazing Visual Advertising!!!!


Fucked up!!! Robots are gonna take over soon!!!!!



Festo, a company that doesn't give two shits whether we all die at the hands of robots, is back on their robotic animal kick, this time with robo-penguins. Yeah, and to make matters worsethe tuxedoed bastards can now attack from both sea AND sky. You only need to watch the first 2:00 of the video to see the penguins, then it goes on to showcase a robotic hand and robotic wall. Yeah, you heard me, a robotic wall. I've heard of some pretty sick things in my day, but that might just take the cake. And speaking of which -- which one of you jerkbags ate the last piece?

Barrow House / Andrew Maynard Architects




The Barrow extension appears as an arrangement of timber boxes, each independently rotated and subjected to varying amounts of extruding and manipulating forces. These separate actions result in a variety of shapes, which united, create an interior of differing volumes and organizations, providing an interesting double story addition to this weatherboard house.

Tetris Furniture, ZOMG!



Tetris furniture: it just makes sense. Furniture is blocky, tetrads are blocky, BOOM-SHACKA-SHAKE'N'BAKE -- Tetris furniture.
It's tetradical! Except -- why does that long block have five squares?

Artists Diego Silvério and Helder Filipov have created a beautiful furniture design that uses the Tetris bricks we have all known to both love and hate. The different bricks combined show many different options and ways for gamers to also have a great looking room and profess their utmost love for the original Tetris game.


ZOMG, I want all long pieces! No, wait, squares! And go ahead and throw in some of those L's. Fine, I'll take them all. But for free. Seriously, this is a gun. *PEW PEW* Haha, did I say gun? I meant laser blaster.

Supernova Bathroom Hardware by Dornbracht




The "Supernova" bathroom hardware line from Dornbracht has a fitting name. This contemporary bathroom concept combines futurism with architectural design. The first thing that catches my eye is the stone shape that rises from the ground. This structure harbors the shower though you can see no enclosure in the picture. It was the intent of Sieger Design and architectect Mike Meiré to create an architectural backdrop in the bathroom. Acting as a center piece to the design, the shower rises like a monument from the bathroom floor creating wonderful architectural element. Other inspiration was to create an island effect and place all the water sources in various areas. You can see the sink on the opposite side of the natural rain shower. To the right of the shower seating is the faucet that feeds the tub. Supernova is a unique concept that is really different than most other bathroom hardware lines that are designed to fit flush up against a wall.

EOS phone adapts to personal lifestyle



Envisaging humanistic relationships with mobile phones in the days to come, the Japanese manufacturer Kyocera has come up with a futuristic phone that alters its shape from a clamshell to a wallet or clutch-purse. Dubbed the “EOS,” the folding phone integrates a flexible OLED display surrounded by a soft and semi-rigid polymer casing, healing your haptic senses with the reinforced user experience. Presenting a clean and compact design, the concept phone offers a greater adaptability, of not just form but interaction as well, thanks to the flexible screen that unfolds to divulge the widescreen display. Moreover, the EOS doesn’t require any battery, for the phone breeds energy by translating kinetic energy into an electric charge via an array of nano-scale piezoelectric generators when it comes in physical interaction with the user. The EOS, apart from its refined and sustainable technology, also brags of a clean and sleek design by hiding the keys when not in use.

CRAZYYYY!!! Magnetically levitating sofa



Very much like the Magnetic Floating Bed, the Cloud Sofa is nothing less than a design masterpiece. Designed for ultra comfort and relaxation, the Cloud magnetically levitating sofa is the most amazing sofa concept I’ve ever come across. The magnetic force generated by the base offers support for the verrry soft upper part of the sofa. It would be a great thing to work, relax or powernap on. Unlike the magnetic floating bed, it’s not tethered with any steel cables. The soft cloud-like chaise lounge received an honorable mention at the RELAX furniture design contest.

Dope Shelving!!!!



Drawing inspiration from the design of a comic book speech bubble, designer Oscar Nuñez has come up with an innovative storage that gives an expression to your living space, apart from giving space for your books and other stuff. Named “Shelves Comic,” the expressive furniture comes in two sizes, small measuring 49 w x 30 d x 35 h cm and large measuring 120 w x 30 d x 35 h cm. Designed for the Mexican design brand Fusca, the shelves may not offer much color options to the buyer, but they certainly promises a style statement, while being simple at the same time, to the contemporary apartments.

BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME EVER!!!!

Helpless Robot Almost Cute



Tweenbots are the brainchild of NYU student Kacie Kinzer and, as much as I hate to say it, are adorable. At least until you try to point it in the right direction and they spray you in the eyes with hydrochloric acid or explodes. Which, I suspect, is being saved for Tweenbot v2.0. Hit the jump for several more pictures, as well as a map and video of it's maiden voyage, on which it took 42 minutes and 29 different people to help the smug little bastard traverse a park. Wow -- I can't even begin to describe how ironic this whole project is. Mostly just because I don't understand irony.

Vanity: fixture for modern bathrooms



Drawing inspiration from rounded shapes, often attributed to baroque, the +OYO, a duet of young designers, Olga Dabrowska and Adam Groch, has popped up with a unique bathtub that promises to confer a glossy look to your bathing place, apart from being comfortable. Dubbed “Vanity,” the bathtub is divided into two different zones that give an offbeat yet original effect to the bathtub. The first zone/part of the bathtub works as single bathtub; while on the other hand, the other portion becomes seat or footrest. The clean lines make this bath a classic yet contemporary fixture that would complement any modern decor.

BEST EMPLOYERS EVER!!! Google Zurich Office Tour



Here's an inside look at the incredible Google Zurich office. Their "team is strong in all things maps and geo, even more so after having integrated several dozen specialists from Swiss company Endoxon, which Google acquired."

FRESH!!!! Emerica x Beams x Ed Templeton



Emerica teams up with Japanese retailer Beams and with artist Ed Templeton on a sneaker/t-shirt package. The lace-up sneakers come with black canvas uppers and animal fur patterns. Matching they present the pocket t-shirts, which feature the same animal pattern on the pockets, along graphics by Ed Templeton.

I wish i had this as a kid!!!!



Staircases can be much more than just a means of getting to the next floor. While some designers think of safety and stability before aesthetics, a few dare to create something unique and innovative. An eco-conscious British architect named Alex Michaelis falls in the latter category. Lately, he built his dream home, and one of the major highlights of the home is a slide next to the staircase. He said that everyone in the family was involved in the design and got to say what he or she wanted. For the kids, it meant (what else?) a slide, a climbing wall and a foosball table. The slide complements the limestone staircase when it comes to overall aesthetics and on the other hand, it’s fun for kids to enjoy those speedy falls. For me, the Staircase/Slide combo inside the home is really a great fun thing for kids, but I am sure many parents won’t appreciate the idea.

studio shulab: 'lightpot'



designers kfir schwalb and orit magia of studio shulab have sent us images
of their latest work 'lightpot', a small pot for growing plants and herbs indoors.
it works with the use of LED lighting. 'lightpot' can be placed anywhere in the house and in any light condition.

more cassette tape art




cassette tape culture is always on our radar, as evidenced by our interest in finnish artist sami havia’s old
cassette tape paintings of famous record covers. never satisfied, we have found two more examples of
the vintage medium being used in art. the first is the work of dutch artist ron van der ende, who recently
created a special installation for worm rotterdam. the bas-relief piece named ‘axonometric array’ is made
completely of reclaimed wood and despite its appearance is only a few centimetres deep. our other new
find is a series of portraits by the flickr user iri5 titled ‘ghost in the machine’. each piece consists of an
old cassette tape that’s ribbon has been removed to create a likeness of a well-known musician.
from jimi hendrix to jim morrison, each piece brings the tape’s music to life through the ribbon portrait.

Urano: The Floating Bed by Falegnameria 1946



Bed designs come and go but often take shape from the styles of the past with very little change or unique qualities. The Urano bed from Falegnameria 1946 definitely does not following previous style trends and features a sleek minimalist design suspended like a floating sleeping oasis constructed from thick elements on a burnished steel frame. Designer Leonardo Dainelli's Urano bed ads class to the already stunning collection of purely Italian furniture that Falegnameria 1946 creates with serious style and quality. See the rest of the "elegant shapes with a new but classical design" here.

tham & videgard hansson arkitekts: apartment stockholm



departing from the traditional swedish interior use of colour and patterns, developed by artists
and architects like carl larsson and josef frank, this apartment also relates directly to the setting
at the park humlegĂĄrden where the greenery outside changes with the season. from winter
grey and black, to summertime bright and deep green, to orange, red and yellow in autumn.

Cabel Industry / Massimo Mariani





Just out the edge of the town of Empoli, the building is the Cabel headquarters (a company dealing in computer systems for banks), it covers an area of approximately 4.500 square metres and it is incorporated on the local industrial estate.

Partially set into the ground, the building is composed of two extended floors out the ground level and a vault under. Along the main front the facade is protected by a long strip of public landscaping running parallel to the road.

Ekundayo and Joshua Clay “Duality” Exhibition Recap



The show “Duality” opened at Ad Hoc Art in Bushwick last weekend, marking the first East Coast show for a pair of emerging L.A.-based artists: Ekundayo and Joshua Clay.

Ekundayo’s anthropomorphic malformations bear a curious semblance root vegetables such as ginger, potatoes or parsnips. Yet these fiends could just as well be creating themselves despite their gnarled despondency, as they could be unraveling before our eyes; many of them cling to each other or themselves with a childlike tenderness as they alternately writhe and meditate.

If Ekundayo succeeds in balancing careful, tautly-rendered classicism and the stylization of contemporary street art, Clay decidedly leans towards the latter aesthetic. While Ekundayo’s figures are simultaneously fleshy and emaciated, Clay’s women, in particular, are uniformly anemic and doll-like. Indeed, his angular, fanciful variations on warriors– from ninjas and pirates to bears and tigers– appear animated but lack the visceral vitality of Ekundayo’s creatures.

Similarly, the exaggerated sense of mischievousness makes Clay’s work look cartoonish, for better or worse, opposite Ekundayo’s compellingly grotesque bestiary.

Although the title “Duality” captures the contrast only through the vagueness of the term, we can certainly expect great things to come from both artists. The show is well worth the hike out to Bushwick; the gallery is a short block and a half from the Morgan Ave stop on the L train.

Clusterlamp by Moooi



I was searching for light fixtures for work this morning and came across the clusterlamp from Moooi. It is a neat mash-up of a couple different sockets and an assortment of lamps. I think I could have a lot of fun with a fixture like this one. Moooi makes a lot of other wacky stuff, be sure to check out their website for all sorts of who knows what.

Pyramid Bookshelf



There's nothing quite like a huge bookshelf to make your home more impressive. And this gigantic, modular pyramid bookshelf is totally badass.

The Pyramid Book Case is made of aluminum and can get as large as you want it to get thanks to its modular design. Live in a house with 30-foot ceilings and own more books than a library? Well, you'll have the most amazing living room ever. But I'm sure this would be equally awesome in more modest settings.

Such Creative Business Cards!!!!!



DOPE DESIGN!!!!! Baby Grand Master for DJ's



For DJs with a touch of class (and a big budget to blow), Garder Post offers the Baby Grand Master. Its features and specs look like they were written in Danish and the mixer looks like it was pulled from an alien spacecraft. It has an ultra (ULTRA) white reflective projection surface. Oh, and it’s built into a Baby Grand Piano.

Gorgeous and intimidating, I’d be afraid to get my fingers anywhere near it (without scrubbing them with bleach first). The 12-inch subwoofer, hydraulic legs and lid and neon details puts it out of your price range, so you’ll just have to drool over these pics.

WiiSpray



Originally developed in Spring 2007, art student Martin Lihs at Bauhaus-University in Weimar, Germany has since expanded his developments on WiiSpray, basically a Wii controller turned spray paint can that allows the user to create “digital graffiti”.

A few images of this leaked last summer, but now we not only have updated photos, but a teaser video which really gives you a good look at how realistic and fun this thing is. One highlight includes WiiSpray’s ability to create works that could be saved on a server, independent of particular platforms.

Juice Boxes That Look Like The Fruit



What if juice boxes actually looked like the fruit that was inside? Then they would look like this! And, also, be more expensive. Yay!

Created by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, the juice box's packaging is supposed to be more appealing to the eye by imitating the actual fruit they contain. As Naoto puts it; "I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin.

I love it. As you can see, that's what banana, strawberry, and shaven bull testicle boxes would look like there. Next up, milk. YOW YOW! Oh, wait -- breast milk. Juice me, baby.

Nike Air Yeezy | Black/Grey/Fire Red Colorway



So far we knew three colorways of the Nike Air Yeezy would release. The first one came out last weekend, the next one in May and the last one in June. Now another colorway has turned up at an official Nike event in Taipei - black/grey/fire red. Taking lots of inspiration from Jordan, this colorway will for sure interest many of you. The upper is rather subtle, with the fire red setting the right accents on the sole. We also like the clean patent strap and actually prefer it over the structured ones that are on the current Air Yeezy’s. We are not sure if this colorway will actually release, but we will definitely keep you posted. Via Sneakernews.
