Novità “d’immagine” in casa Carhartt; per l’autunno inverno 2011 è in uscita Blackbird Fly, fotocamera doppia lente realizzata in collaborazione con la società giapponese PowerShovel. Un ritorno ai sentimenti, allo scatto inteso come momento unico e non ripetibile, al sapore della pellicola e all’attesa del risultato, emozioni e riti che abbiamo scordato e che Blackbird …
La casa mobile Sunset – progettata da Hangar Design Group per il brand Movit di Pircher Oberland – vince l’ambito premio Compasso d’oro per la categoria DESIGN PER L’AMBIENTE, grazie ad un concept innovativo che sa coniugare le migliori soluzioni di funzionalità e stile con le esigenze di sostenibilità ambientale proprie dell’architettura contemporanea.
Ricerca, passione, visione: ecco gli ingredienti di una filosofia progettuale innovativa e coerente: “Ogni volta che affrontiamo un progetto, si tratti del disegno di un logo, di un sito web o di una microarchitettura, cerchiamo di sviluppare una riflessione organica che inquadra il progetto specifico in un universo di riferimento coerente” – commentano i creativi di Hangar Design Group. “La casa mobile Sunset si caratterizza per un concept semplice ma innovativo e per la massima efficienza energetica a impatto zero, nel rispetto del paesaggio. La sua qualità è certificata in classe A secondo gli standard internazionali CasaClima, sia in termini di processi produttivi, che di gestione ambientale e materie prime utilizzate.”
The iPad has opened up a world of wonders for portable music creation for artists around the world, with a wide variety of apps available to make music creation a cinch. However, many of these apps have had the all important prerequisite of actually knowing how to make music. For those of us that couldn’t recognize a simple chord progression to save our lives but want to make some nifty music, there’s RGBSOUND. This sequencer app offers a variety of simple electronic beats and notes to play. It’s possible to just randomly flail about to make a bunch of noise at first, but then the the ability to start loops, modify the speed of loops, volume, and pitch, all through simple gesture-based controls.
This is really an interesting project, and presented in a very unique way. Two friends from Brussels, Matthieu Vaxelaire and Christoph Nagel, both 24, have decided to launch their own brand – Jojo – while doing their bit towards improving our environment. Part shoe, part bandage, each pair of Jojo trainers are made in Brasil. Moreover, through a partnership with NGOs working on the ground, each pair sold means concrete support for one of the following projects: 1. Planting trees in Africa, 2. Installing water pumps in Africa. Three different ranges of colours, “Basic”, “Plain” and “Pop”, so that both men and women, trendy or more classic, young or not so young, can find the shoe that fits. And if you think that 1 pair of Jojos = 1 tree planted in Niger or = 1 year of drinkable water for one person in Sierra Leone, you will need a pair for sure ;)
Fashion + Mathematics = Fashematics ovvero: come non prendere troppo sul serio la Moda, facendosi quattro risate, per niente fashion.
Steven Carr is an Italy-lover (when he started listing all the towns he visited, it actually took hours…), English, bearded (as all the members of his band) and most of all the mind of Francis Neve. I’ve discovered his debut album, by chance. I loved it from the first listening and for people who like …
This past Saturday, we spent the day between the Levi skate mini-bowl and the official Mercedes Benz Fashion Week tent. What a contrast but equally action packed! Frontside 180s, Pop Shove-its, Grinds, and Backsides, from 3pm, the skaters keep dropping in. 90s music blares across the air and the atmosphere screams Venice, Boardwalk, Dogtown and …
