SAMURAI SABER Seeing out 2017 with the sabering of a bottle of bubbles with a replica of Kill Bills ‘Bill’ sword. I believe 2018 should see more Samurai Saber Openings, otherwise it will just be me. I’m ok with that. Be the best ninja you can be. Dunne

Packaging for Beau Cacao by Socio Design

“We were invited to design the packaging for Beau Cacao and their first two bars, Asajaya and Serian. Our geometric gold foiled pattern was inspired by traditional Malaysian fabric designs, and reflects the distinctive moulded shape of the chocolate within.  Paper colours were chosen based on the flavour profiles of the chocolate, red to match smoky tobacco and paprika and yellow for caramel and brioche. This system of pattern and colour provides a foundation for future iterations of packaging. Signature mold of the chocolate bar was designed by Adam Gill.”

Socio Design are an experienced design and strategy agency based in London Bridge, South London. They help transform brands and businesses through carefully crafted design and rigorous strategic thinking. They apply meticulous detail, skill and craftsmanship to every stage of their design process, ensuring their work is both unique as well as aesthetically strong.

Parked   Porches

palm springs, california serves as a sunny backdrop for the series ‘911’, where palm trees punctuate a landscape filled with mountains and mid-century modern homes. labrooy deftly adds playfully positioned porsche cars to the scenes, placing them in surreal situations and scenarios. at the back of a house, twelve, hot-blue cars float in a pool, semi-submerged in water; out front, four pink porsches hang from a palm tree; on the side of the home, a white cruiser seemingly falls from the roof and winds up with its headlights facing the sky.

PURITAN STYLIN

An interesting 17th century style silver notched 2 pronged fork and matching spoon, the fork a replica of the earliest known English table fork. Both are faithful replicas of the puritan style, with 3 notches at the top of the flat stem. Both carry 2 family crests, the top a griffiths head and wings, the Montagu family crest, the second is a peacock in pride, the crest of John Manners, 8th Earl of Rutland of Haddon Hall, the owner of the original fork. This fork, made in 1632, is known as the Manners Fork, and is in the V&A museum in London. Frances Montagu was the wife of John Manners. The hallmarks are exceptionally well struck, they could not be better. They include makers mark "GOF Lo under star" for George Lowe & Son of Bridge Street, Chester, who date back to 1770 and who still trade today. They also include the Chester wheat sheaf town mark (struck in the spoon bowl as is usual for 17th century spoons), date letter and lion passant. The original box, marked "Lowe & Sons, Silversmiths, Bridge St Row, Chester" is in good condition, clasp in full working order. It is accompanied by original card, with an ink drawing of Haddon Hall, the spoon and fork, and the words "1632 The Manners Spoon & Fork originally the property of the Rutland family of Haddon Hall". Both are a good gauge and a pleasure to use, a real talking point for your dinner table.

MIST GLASS + CARAFE 

― lead-free crystal / mould-blown ― Linnæus University Mist is a set composed by a carafe and a glass, which can be stacked on the top of it (like traditional bedside carafes). Both the carafe and the glass are slightly frosted inside. When dry, the surface appears foggy. When filled with a liquid, the natural transparency of the glass is almost completely recovered and the true colour of the drink is revealed. Once the glass is empty again, the surface gradually goes back to its steamy appearance. The mould of the carafe is obtained by combining the shape used for the glass with a second cylinder on the top. Previous / Next Image (2 of 3) All works © Guglielmo Brambilla (2016).

TADAO ANDO 

Tadao Ando, born in 1941 is one of the most renowned contemporary Japanese architects. Characteristics of his work include large expanses of unadorned architectural concrete walls combined with wooden or stone floors and large windows. Active natural elements, like sun, rain, and wind are a distinctive inclusion to his style.

Coffiest

Coffiest is breakfast and your morning coffee, all in one convenient bottle. Each bottle contains 400 calories of plant-based nutrition and the same caffeine as a strong cup of coffee. 

I would be interested to see how this stuff tastes, but regardless of concept, the minimal aesthetic is already a winner for me. Gone are the days of looking crafted, today we see a new trend of clean, clinical, synthetic looking products, all equally artisan, if not more crafted than those that came before.

STEPHEN KENN The first seating collection released by Stephen Kenn, The Inheritance Collection was inspired by the idea of exposing the framework of a sofa and paring it down to its barest bones. The steel frame supports the seats, and the leather and webbing belts support the back and side cushions. Originally released with vintage WWII military canvas cushion covers, now available in a multitude of materials. Stephen Kenn and his wife Beks Opperman operate a Los Angeles based design studio which focuses on furniture and leather goods. Driven by curiosity, Stephen takes a thoughtful and optimistic approach to his work, believing there is always a way to make things simpler. He begins all design projects by seeking out good materials and experimenting with new processes. DUNNE

MVRDV have designed a fully transparent kitchen. Each of the units and shelves is transparent, as well as the tap, sink area and worktops. The installation takes the typical modern day modular kitchen and looks at progressing the typology to improving the culinary experience and challenging the immense, yet generic, kitchen industry.

“If we imagine everything is transparent clear and clean, doesn’t it mean that the only thing that is colourful and visible is our food,” said MVRDV co-founder Winy Maas. “Doesn’t it then imply that we are encouraged to love the food, in that way, and that maybe it even becomes more healthy, if not sexy?”

Transparent surfaces, shelves, cupboards, taps and utensils come together to give a new insight into food production, storage, and the processes that go on in our kitchens. Instead of hiding both the ugly and beautiful sides of food preparation, the Infinity Kitchen exposes all in a way to give more control to the user who can now monitor everything. MVRDV’s design aims to act as a showcase to test the individual elements in the kitchen, visitors to the exhibition will be able to see how, through their invisibility, the entire kitchen catalogue functions.

An interview by Phil Wain still carries weight and foresight to the current movements of our coffee industry.

I strongly believe it will only better itself when people understand they are working in a hospitality sector servicing coffee.

Donald Clarence Judd 

(June 3, 1928 – February 12, 1994) was an American artist associated withminimalism (a term he nonetheless stridently disavowed).[1][2] In his work, Judd sought autonomy and clarity for the constructed object and the space created by it, ultimately achieving a rigorously democratic presentation without compositional hierarchy. It created an outpouring of seemingly effervescent works that defied the term "minimalism". Nevertheless, he is generally considered the leading international exponent of "minimalism," and its most important theoretician through such seminal writings as "Specific Objects" (1964).[3]

ETHIOPIA SKATE 

Connecting Ethiopian skateboarders and coordinate opportunities for foreign skaters to meet locals at skate spots around the country.  We give access to skateboard equipment and maintain skate spots where we organise skate sessions for youth from all backgrounds. 

VISION

That children from all backgrounds can come together to have access to skateboarding equipment and free skateboard facilities and this community can ensure that all members have the means of education and healthy living.

This is community building, confidence building, opportunity building, no matter how small you think something is, generosity can have a long lasting profound effect. 

People should try harder to do good.
