Radiator.

Slim heat.

Everything can have a nice design. All radiator should look as good as this one from Cordivari.

You might not think about radiators when you think about design. You don't think about Italy when someone says - Designed radiators. But that's just what it is. It's the radiator for the once with money.

This is the way I want my radiators to look. If that was the case, it would not be something to hid anymore. It's just to bad that almost all radiator are the same ugly white things. That look like they do because it's the cheapest way to produce them.

This is what I think. If things are designed to look good people who use them will feel better. And that goes for all things that people come in contact with. Good design effects people in a good way.

Don't really feel like writing something today so here is a picture of a nice building. The contemporary art museum in Rio De Janeiro.

Antler Stool

Oh Dear!

Ever wanted to sit down on a stool and become a person with antlers? Okey I've never thought about it before but when I see this stool, I really want to.

This stool from designer Ji-youn Kim is a simple and well designed stool. With a difference. You look like you have antlers when you sit on it. And the way I see it this stool would be perfect to have in a bigger room along the wall or maybe in a long big corridor. But where ever you place it it's gonna get noticed.

SSON 028

Fixed Fixie.

Dangerous to the untrained but oh so well designed. The 028 from the Swedish company SSON is a graphic designers wet dream.

Since a couple of years the fixie bike has been the trendy way to get around town. For the one that is not into the whole bike thing, a fixie is a bike without gears and without brakes. Which means that you're pedaling all the time. Needless to say it's not for beginners.

The thing with fixies is that they don't have any extras which normally makes them very clean. This 028 from SSON is a type example of that. Black, white and steel. Now that's a sure fire way to ride in style. Now the price is high, but again the lack of unnecessary shit should make it last pretty long.

But before you go to caliroots.com and order one, make sure that they are legal in your country. Here in Germany you have to put normal breaks on there or you are gonna get pulled over.

Hanging Out.

Place to hang.

Clothes hangers have a tendency to look cheap and tacky. Bit this prototype from Axis is far away from that. You better start making them!

Minimal and basic. What more do you need from a clothes hanger. This is a perfect example of something that fills it purpose with style. Not only is it a really clean thing but the designer Ramei Keum also made it so that the clothes hanger it self can hang two jackets (one on each side).

To bad that not all things in life can be so clean and simple. I have now personly been affected by the ongoing Internet censorship that is taking place around the world. Okay it's not like I live in China, but the company I work for have now started to block a number of web sites. And with that they have taken away the only good thing about working here. What I want to say with that is, be glad if you have Internet where you're free to access everything. Also I would like to argue that Internet access should be a human right. We should all fight for a free Internet.

I voted for the Pirate Party and I think you should as well.

The Perfect Setup.

Keep them Coming!

Yanko design brings us yet another simple idea that you wish you came up with.

More and more people are getting laptops instead of stationary computers. We all want to be flexible and mobile. Or at least have the possibility to be. And with everything mobile it's better when it's small. Smaller laptops and notebook means less usb ports. This idea could solve that problem.

SideSeeing Der Designmarkt

Designed Market.

Do you like original designs? Commercial but still not? Be sure to stop by at the market. And keep an eye out for RevDes.

Berlin is full of interesting designers (you can't throw a stone without hitting one). So when a city has an abundance of something it can be hard to find that what you are really looking for. But to help you out there are a number of markets that bring like-minded people together.

SideSeeing is one of them. So if you're not to hungover from the Berlin night scene then this is the perfect alternative to the flea markets. It has the same feeling to it, but not as much crap.

But the main reason to go there is RevDes, who are opening their market-season with a number of fresh designs. That's where I will be hanging out if I'm to hungover.

Check their web-pages.

The Ring-Ge-Roo

Light in the bag.

The Ring-Ge-Roo illustrates very clearly that the possibilities are endless when you want to play with light.

Yesterday I talked to one of my roommates about how to decorate his room. He recently move into a bigger room with big white walls. The thing is that he doesn't like to have picture on his walls, so the idea of playing with light struck me. And the Ring-Ge-Roo from OWA Innovation Design Group does just that. And the structure is very simple, a LED light in a IV-pack. Simplicity that gives a special glowing light.

And what gives another dimension to this lamp is that you can change it yourself. Since the lamp is filled with water, changing the color can be done very fast. If you want a warm light source then fill it with red dyed water. And if you want a bit colder color, then simply put some green or blue in there.

Coffee Table, Semplice

Another Coffee Table.

The Weller Group makes it look easy with this coffee table. Clean lines and a simplicity that sometimes is hard to find.

This table is actually part of a whole line of furniture. And it's all done for companies. It's a office coffee table if you ask the manufacturers. That's to bad. A coffee table like this could easily be sold in furniture stores.

Clean and simple, hence the name.

Linea Rouge Thermometer

The wine will tell you.

Instead of mercury the designer Sono Mucci looked at the old way of doing it. Red wine can also tell us how warm it is.

It's surprising that not all none digital thermometers use some other liquid than mercury. Not only because mercury is dangerous and poisonous but also the energy that it takes to produce. But soon all thermometers will be like Sono Mucci's. Telling us how warm it by using alcohol.

But the new ones made will not look as good as this one does. With a clean design like this, you will not be hiding this thermometer behind a door.

Now the question is where to get The Linea Rouge.

Rambler Socket.

Build in extension cord.

This is one of the things where you can help but to say -Why didn't I think of that?

Wires on the floor is something that can make the most well designed home look bad. When looking back it's clear that the idea of making the cord (or any extension) look good has never enter the minds of big business. As usual the quest for money make this an area where costs can be cut.

But there are exceptions, Apple started some time ago with chargers that match their laptops and now designer Meysam Movahedi has put one and one together and designed a extension cord that you just pull out of the wall. After you have gotten power where you need it you just give the cord a lite tug and it goes back in the wall. Exactly like it works with your vacuum cleaner.

But will 1,5 meters be enough and why not put two sockets on each cord? And if you do want to have it extended for a while then the green is not gonna look good. But hey, I'm just saying. It's still smart design.

UrbanEars.

Like Art for your Ears.

Stylistic and clean. The new brand UrbanEars goes in the right direction. Bringing it down to the minimal, highlighting design and use of colors.

The new (self proclaimed) design collective UrbanEars goes away from brand stamped products and instead underline the clean design and importance of sound and comfort. But the thing that makes them stick out is the share number of colors that each headphone is available in. Each model comes in 14 different colors.

Let's just hope that the brand doesn't get associated with the wrong crowd. That might come down to the prize, but what is the prize for a set?

Picture Lamp.

Design Your Own Light.

Small, simple and clean. Sure to brighten up the room.

A room always need a lot of light, especially this time of year. A room needs a big source of light for when you're cleaning. It also needs smaller lights to make the room look good. This lamp is the second kind, it's purely a decorative source of light. It's the type of lamp that you can put in a bookshelf to brighten it up or something to hang on the wall. It's not that big so you can also put many of them next to each other. It's actually only 8,2cm x 8,2cm x 13,5cm big. But what it lacks in size it makes up in looks.

The idea with this lamp from Komat is to make your own design. You simply put a picture, a message or a drawing between the two shards of Plexiglas and you have a individual deco lamp that you can change when ever you like it. But keep in mind that the light illuminates the picture from behind, so you should probably go with an already bright picture.

This is something that I would put in my bookshelf if the prize was a bit kinder. But to you that have cash and lots of it, I say - Go for it!
