Writing on your toast

Sasha Tseng designed the concept for a message toaster that incorporates a little board where one can read quick notes. The memo also gets burnt into the toast, creating a fun toast-it note.

Light As Performance Art

Astonishing LED, Laser, and Light Photography from Hack N Mod on Vimeo.

Light performance photography is impressive enough, but shoving these light performance photographs into a video and putting a Depeche Mode-like music track on it? We're sold.

DJ Hero

If you’ve already mastered Guitar Hero and are looking for the next technological musical challenge, look no further, because DJ Hero has (almost) arrived. Apparently DJ AM has collaborated on it, but no word on other DJs who have been involved. Genres to be mixed include hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance. The controllers allow you to create your own original mixes, and plenty of cross-genre mash-ups.

There’s no official release date, but we can expect it sometime in the fall. And no pricing just yet, but I’d recommend that you start saving…
The actual set list will be posted closer to the release of DJ Hero, but what kind of songs do you think we can expect?

Diesel Black Label “No Face” Watch

An interesting new watch is coming Italy’s Diesel - the “No Face” watch. The watch comes in a steel frame with black leather straps and features tiny side mounted watches. The black top plate looks really sleek and the fact that there is no time on it, certainly confuses. The design seems a little confusing and we are not sure it is very practical either, but from design stand-point very interesting.

World’s largest solar-powered stadium to host 'The World Games 2009'

Riding on their their dreams, designers at Japan-based Toyo Ito Architects are using solar energy beyond all conventions to power the main stadium built for “The World Games” to be held in July this year, for no one has ever attempted to power an entire stadium with solar energy before. The $150 million stadium can house 55,000 spectators and can power 80% of the surrounding neighborhood if it‘s solar array is connected to the grid during days when the stadium is not being used. Every inch of the stadium’s incredible 14,155-sq-m roof area is covered with 8,844 solar panels that could potentially generate a whopping 1.14GWh of electricity annually. The record braking stadium is touted to be the world’s largest solar-powered stadium and is designed to green the not-so-popular World Games to be held in Taiwan this year.

Arch Daily Neal Creek Residence / Paul McKean Architecture

The Neal Creek residence treads lightly upon its surroundings, maximizing valley and water views with minimal impact to the natural environment. The owners - windsurfing and snowboarding enthusiasts - were interested in a modest weekend retreat that would be highly efficient and ecologically minded. Their wooded two-acre parcel of land presented many unique challenges including wetlands, creek protection setbacks, and floodplain restrictions.

The house behind the wall / Peter Gabrijelcic

The new longitudinal house is conceived as a wall – a fence forming a secure atrium in the midst of the existing built environment. The house is turned outside in. It enables its residents intimacy, and at the same time it offers a compromise with the co-existence of the widely divergent structures in the same area. It resembles a nest, well- accommodated, protected and concealed, but at the same time benevolent to nature, openness and broadness of mind. The longitudinal wall, 40 metres long, has two functions. It marks the parcel boundary of the new house, sets its exterior margin - keeping out of sight the disorderly, inhabited side of the parcel - and at the same time, on the inside, accommodates a storage space running along its entire length. Between the cabinet/wall and the rest of the house there runs a corridor illuminated by natural light from a long skylight. Alongside the building, there is a range of functions, such as the entrance, kitchen, living room, bedrooms and workrooms. As if the architect had epitomized the perspective of the landscape and transferred it to an architectural drawing and idea.

4Life Pure Bathtub blends form with functionality

Displayed at ISH 2009 (world’s leading trade fair for bathrooms) held in Frankfurt, the “4Life Pure” by Kopie von Adolfr is a simple but at the same time stylish bathtub that will give a fresh look to your bathroom. Boasting a crystal white tub enclosed with sleek lines, the 4Life Pure bathtub comes with a wooden cover that apparently rolls (to one side) to become the headrest while sprawling in the tub. Apart from enhancing the décor of your space, with its innovative yet sleek design, the bathtub, when not in use, works as a storage space where you may place various bathroom accessories, blending form with functionality.

INSANE!!! Al Hakawati emblem of the Arabic world

Located in Zaabeel Park, Dubai, the Al Hakawati (the storyteller in Arabic) by Visiondivision is an iconic tall emblem structure designed for a competition named “Thyssenkrupp Elevator Award” that will recite historic anecdotes of the Arabic city and its people with animated body language. Featuring a number of spaces for performance and reading within, the statue also houses a children’s library at the base that includes a vast collection of books, telling the folklore of the Arabic world to the kids. Moreover, the Zaabeel Park will include small speakers in every corner of the park, which will let the visitors listen and enjoy the stories (or folktales) recited by the statue.

ILLEST SKATE SHOP PERIOD!!!!!!!

The Clients

Founded in Milan in 1994 by four skateboarders, Comvert S.r.l. conceives, produces and distributes clothing for skateboarders and snowboarders under the brand bastard and distributes the brand Electric in Italy.

Few years ago Comvert decided that it was about time for finding a new location to set up its new headquarter and gave studiometrico the opportunity to search for the right building and then, possibly, to refurbish it.

The ideal place had to be spacious enough to be able to host the administrative department, the design department, a flagship store, a storage facility, a wide access for the goods and a skate-bowl for bastard employees, friends and team riders.

Canned Oxygen: Fad On The Horizon

The canned oxygen freight train “fad express” is leaving the station with scheduled stops including celebrity hands and every health food store in America. Already touted by some as “the next bottled water”, this stuff is 89% pure and claims to relieve stress, headaches, jet lag, hangovers, and awkward sexual performance. However, if you don’t buy into the hype you can always enjoy it for flavors like “Mountain Mint” and “Polar Rush”. After all, they have to give you something to justify the $9.99-$134.99 price tag.

Someone needs to get me this!!!!!!

Rather than travel through space to retrieve the four elemental stones to save humanity, you just have to wait until these start shipping around September 2009. You also won’t have to go through the process of figuring out how to activate the stones since you have already seen the movie. However, finding the key fifth element is your own problem. But if you find a way to get Milla Jovovich to show up at your house then please share your secrets.
