Part One of this series is entitled ‘Ghosts in the machine.’

“The first episode of this new series tells the fascinating story of the birth of industrial design. Alongside the celebrated names, from Wedgwood to William Morris, it also explores the work of the anonymous designers responsible for prosaic but classic designs for cast-iron cooking pots to sheep shears – harbingers of a breed of industrially produced objects culminating in the Model T Ford. Includes interviews with legendary designer Dieter Rams and J Mays, Ford Motors’ global head of design.”

WHY 58×38

Maro — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:20:21 +0000

Hermes, the stylish French company has teamed up with the Monaco-based ship-builder Wally to create the ‘WHY 58×38′. The boat, which is built on three decks, also features a 25metre swimming pool on the bow that hug the contours of the helipad. Inside ‘adaptable living spaces’ are organized around a salon that contains a cinema, a music room, a library and a dining room that opens on to the sea.

The master suite has 200-square-metre that covers the entire third floor and has sweeping views of the sea from its private terrace. Up to 12 guests can stay in the five sumptuous suites on the second floor.

The ship has been designed with three large skylights and 300 square meters of windows to give a maximum amount of natural light. It will also be fitted with an ultra-low consumption LED lighting system. Solar panels covering the roof and sides of the vessel will help save at least 200 tons of diesel fuel a year. The yacht also comes equipped with waste management systems made to handle both organic and inorganic waste.

Colander Table

Maro — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:40:45 +0000

Colander, a table of 909 holes, is the latest project by Daniel Rohr, designed to delete space and material. Produced by way of a CNC milling process, the polished aluminium tabletop starts out at a weight of 408 kg. (899 lbs.). The space between the plate glass top and the metal bowl makes any object that is set upon the table seem to hover above it. It takes about four weeks for the production of one table, to be produced in an edition of ten.

Microsoft Courier

Maro — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:37:44 +0000

Courier is the new booklet from Microsoft. A dual 7 – inch screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers. It haves a “home” physical button in the middle of the screens and a 3 megapixel camera. It is charged through an inductive pad, so no plugs would be constantly connected to the device.

Courier is on the “late prototype” stage of development; creating a better user experience and showing design concepts to outside agencies.
