OVALE

The OVALE vase is designed by Robert Evans and is made out of polished or satin stainless steal.

The shapes that Robert Evans has created in this vase make it very distinctive and gives it an industrial feel.

Aalto vase

The Aalto Vase, also known as the Savoy Vase, is a piece of glassware created by Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino Marsio that has become an internationally known iconic piece of Finnish design. It became known as the Savoy vase because it was one of a range of custom furnishings and fixtures created by Alvar Aalto and Aino for the luxury Savoy restaurant in Helsinki that opened in 1937.

Aalto created initial prototypes by blowing glass in the middle of a composition of wooden sticks stuck into the ground, letting the molten glass swell on only some sides and creating a wavy outline.

I like this vase because of the simple way the prototypes were made and how it has become so iconic.

Snug Vase

This vase comes in flat pack form so you have to build it, stick a small glass under it and you have a modern vase.

I really like this concept as it takes two simple household objects and combines them to create a very striking vase.

Rubber Vase

The rubber vase is designed by Henriette Melchiorsen

The rubber material is flexible and you can change the shape of the vase to suit different types of bouquets.

I think the use of material (rubber) makes this vase very unique in the way that it won't break, but also that can be used in several ways. I love it's simple design as it looks amazing with flowers in it.

Vase with dragons, China

Vase with dragons China, Jingdezhen Yongzheng reign (1723-35) Porcelain, painted before glazing and enamelled Museum no. C.995-1910 George Salting Bequest

This vase was probably made for the Chinese imperial court. Its most vivid feature is the yellow enamel. This was painted onto the fired pot and then refired at a low temperature to fuse it to the glaze.

Two-stage firing proved a crucial innovation. It greatly increased the colour range for decoration and made painting on porcelain in multiple colours possible.

This vase is very intricate in it's design and would look great on it's own. Not sure it would look as good with flowers in it though.

Greek vase

530 – 500 BC

Andokides, whose signed vase is displayed in this room, was the leader of an innovative group of potters and painters working in Athens in the late sixth century BC

At this time, a number of new ideas were introduced the decoration of pottery. Most important was the red-figure technique, which featured figures reserved in red against a black background.

I like this vase as it is very grand and looks like it was made for a very important wealthy person. The gold and black works really well together.

The Portland Vase

Perhaps from Rome, Italy, about AD 5-25

The most famous cameo-glass vessel from antiquity

The scenes on the Portland Vase have been interpreted many times with a historical or a mythological slant. It is enough to say that the subject is clearly one of love and marriage with a mythological theme. The ketos (sea-snake) places it in a marine setting. It may have been made as a wedding gift.

Cameo-glass vessels were probably all made within about two generations as experiments when the blowing technique (discovered in about 50 BC) was still in its infancy. Recent research has shown that the Portland vase, like the majority of cameo-glass vessels, was made by the dip-overlay method, whereby an elongated bubble of glass was partially dipped into a crucible (fire-resistant container) of white glass, before the two were blown together. After cooling the white layer was cut away to form the design. The cutting was probably performed by a skilled gem-cutter.

This design caught my eye as it looks like it tells a story and could be an out right piece of art on its own. It is also very beautiful and detailed.

Here is a video for the IF Move folding bike.

This product is the IF move designed by Pacific cycles. The IF Move is folding bike with some interesting fetters. I like this product because it has so many innovative features on it. It is also very aesthetically pleasing and easy to ride-fold-wheel around.

Made entirely of LEGO bricks, the cloud-based calendar by UK design studio vitamins is a wall mounted time planner that syncs up with google calendar or iCal. coded using openFrameworks and openCV, all events and schedules are synchronised to an online digital agenda, as soon as users take a picture via smartphone. the system makes the most of the tangibility of physical objects, and the ubiquity of digital platforms, providing an interactive and tactile organizer for daily life. it works by sending photographs of the calendar to a special email address, where written software scans the image, searches for the position and colour of every brick and then imports the updated data directly into iCal or google calendar.

I like this product as it uses something that hasn't changed much in over 50 years and partners it with some very up to date technology. The outcome is a very fun, creative, interactive and engaging calendar.

These are my two favourite products from my trip to Designs of the Year 2014 at the London Design Museum .The top picture if of vitamins studio's Lego calendar.The bottom 2 pictures are of pacific cycles IF Move folding bike.

these are two products from Bare Conductive. The top three pictures show there touch board and one of the uses of it. The next two pictures are of there electric paint. The last two pictures show just too of the many, many uses of both of the products combined.

I like these products because of the endless things you can make out of them.

I love the way that this room has been designed. The simple, modern furniture creates a calm environment; however, the unusual slide, (that act as a replacement for stairs), contrasts the simplicity of the room and cause it to appear “playful”- I.e. a perfect setting for a child’s playroom. :)

The vibrant colours and edgy furniture make this room feel alive!

This is a video showing the making of the Segment Vase.

These pictures are of a lamp shade by New Zealand based designer Phil Cuttance. This piece is called Segment Shade.

The Segment shade is cast from a simple mould created from eleven individual wedge-shaped plaster segments.

When initially assembled together the segments create a closed circle, resembling a cake sliced into eleven even pieces.

Every wedge is then cut with a bandsaw on a unique angle, each different to the others. When reassembled each face now intersects at a different angle to the adjacent wedge creating an irregular, asymmetric inner cavity where the Segment shade is slip-cast in ceramic. Each casting inherits the texture of the bandsaw cuts on the wedge faces.

A batch of shades is cast from this arrangement of wedges, then the eleven segments are rearranged, creating a new unique cavity for casting a new different shaped shade.

Every time the wedges are rearranged a new batch of different shaped Segment shades can be cast.

I like this product because of its unique and edgy style. The end product is not sanded down so has a lovely smooth texture on the inside and then a rough texture on the outside due to the band saw.

These are the slides me and Lisa-la-la123 made for the slide show
