Concept

A line is a 2D element, infinitely long and infinitely small in is width. Unlike matter, if we could zoom in a line to the infinite, it’s width would always remain just as a perceptual line. However we can see and feel lines in our 4D world, but those are nothing more then optical illusions and brain tricks to help us define the shapes in our world. For us, lines are just the result of the intersection of different planes or even different depths/light. Can we really say that an object is defined by it’s lines or are those lines just a personal interpretation? Are those lines the same for a different person with a different perspective?

Casulo - Mobile Living Furniture

Considering that our society is becoming more and more mobile as a result of a fluctuating job market one must ask what the necessities are for people on the move and how their furniture should be designed. Flexibility and mobility have become key concepts of today’s working world and yet we continue to create our own barriers to our success and mobility. We take on obligations and responsibilities and obtain house goods far beyond what we really need. When it comes time to move we are aware of the burden of our increasing accumulations. We must overcome our fundamental ideas of consuming so that we can move and change. A change from our accustomed style of life to a more mobile one will mean overcoming our desire to accumulate goods and possessions. At first glance the mew mobility may seem restrictive and over economical yet the future generation will take the new style of life for granted and appreciate even more the increase in mobility, freedom and flexibility. Moving house is always a strain, a burden of time and expense. Even with several helpers the timing and planning, the transport and reassembly of the furniture is a strong man act.

The concept of the Casulo employs the preexisting transportation system and is ideal for short term, spontaneous changes of residence. Casulo does away with the problem of temporary furniture rentals and offers a winning solution to all the problems moving involves. We are facing an enormous challenge, for in the working-world of the future we will have to adapt to a more mobile style of life. The Casulo concept offers a inventive and achievable opportunity to face the demands of mobile living.

Vinho Sexy

2008-03-01T14:18:00.006Z

Longe de ser um consumidor de vinho (mais um consumidor de imagem) esta marca específica despertou o meu interesse. Há uns dias fui visitar o atelier de uns amigos (Storytailors) e eles tinham lá umas garrafas de vinho Sexy!

A etiqueta é simples mas arrojada no que diz respeito ao produto que está a ser comercializado, e eles explicaram-me que era uma marca/etiqueta nova de vinhos e que como é evidente a aposta foi uma imagem nova que permite cativar targets mais jovens. Excelente estratégia de marketing a meu ver!

1873 Monocycle Replica Is a Mechanical and Engineering Marvel

2008-01-31T01:37:00.000Z

This monocycle replica from 1873 is an stunning engineering and mechanical feat. Created by a spaniard using 19th Century documentation and old-style handcrafting techniques, it uses a 6.16-foot wheel, with a 238-teeth inner segment.

This man from Burgos, Spain, created the whole thing by himself, casting the main bronze wheel from a carved oak model. He also used different steel alloys for different parts of the mechanism, depending on the stress they are going to suffer. The saddle's suspension bar was treated in a forge to obtain the necessary elasticity to make it work right.

Klaus Nomi - Total Eclipse

2008-01-29T21:41:00.001Z

Tribute to Klaus Nomi

Born Klaus Sperber in Germany 1944, Klaus Nomi grew up in Berlin where he worked as a child extra at the German opera house as a teenager, where he fell in love with the “belle canto”. He moved to NY in 1972 and later started singing in rock clubs, being a pioneer of fusioning pop with cabaret music and his unique counter-tenor and baritone opera singing.

In 1979, Klaus Nomi was discovered by David Bowie when a common friend, Sweddish film maker Anders Grafstrom, shown him a series of early video footage from Nomi’s performances. Bowie invited him to sing along with him and Joey Ariasin in the famous Saturday Night Live TV show a year later. This launched Nomi’s career, who recorded his first album “Klaus Nomi” in 1981, which was an unique hybrid of synth pop and opera vocals and featured interpretations of Lou Christie’s “Lightning Strikes” and Lesley Gore’s “You don’t Own Me”.

His second and last album, “Simple Man”, released in 1982, included Kristian Hoffman’s “After The Fall”, Doris Troy’s “Just One Look” and a curious version of The Wizard Of Oz’ children classic “Ding Dong - The Witch Is Dead”.

Klaus Nomi was also an important figure to pioneer of the new romantic style, whose live performances used to be bizarrely theatrical, featuring make-up and futuristic costumes. Sadly Klaus Nomi’s career was over before he ever reached popularity, but he was beloved by a minority that still consider the artist like one of the most charismatic figures from the 80’s. Klaus Nomi happened to be the first music celebrity to died of AIDS, in August 6th 1983, at the age of 39.

After Nomi’s death several live and compilation albums were released, including “Encore” (1983), “In Concert” (1986), and “Eclipsed” (1999). In 2005, a documentary film on his life was produced under the title of “The Nomi Song”. The film, written and directed by Andrew Horn, gained a Teddy Award for the Best Documentary at the 54th Berlin Film Festival in 2005.
