Living with Dinosaur is a collection of soft interior objects inspired by dinosaur bones by the japanese designer Sayaka Yamamoto of the group Bcxsy.
Presented during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2009 in Milan this project/game is composed by rubber-coated foam .
Contrail is a device that, mounted on a bycicle frame, spreads chalk on its back wheel, that, subsequently traces a "trail" an the street. Now you can litterally communicate your cycling stories!
Design/concept: Studio Gelardi
Sofia Lagerkvist, Anna Lindgren, Charlotte von der Lancken and Katja Sävström were selected in 2003 for the "Satellite", a collateral Pavillion to the Salone del Mobile in Milan. This year they came back with different pieces of their collections.
Here are some of their work. Funny, somehow intrestingly kitsch, sophisticate. They're already being called the "anti-Ikea" but in fact, they actually worked with the swedish multinational brand proposing lamps and chairs.
Architects lately put their energy outside the world of architecture as we know it. Building apparel, objects and other everyday pieces. It is also architecture we are looking at since they all deal with form, structure, colors and many other elements of architecture. Zaha Hadid is lately working with different companies creating shoes, taps, and more!
Tap of the future! The architect joins brassware british manufacturer Triflow for this very architectural everyday piece.
"The design is a formal expression of the continuous flow of liquid - merging the spout, body and handle of the tap in a seamless trajectory of curvilinear geometries".
Very elegant indeed.
Zaha Hadid is also working with French-based fashion label Lacoste to create a footwear collection that's slated for release in spring/summer 2009.
