Bulgari 'Masterpieces 1970-1990' exhibition, London - Wallpaper - 14:42

There are many reasons to see the Bulgari Masterpieces exhibition, which opened today at the jeweller's New Bond Street boutique in London. But for me, the standout one is that it covers just two decades - 1970 to 1990. Not only does this 20-year span depict a seminal period in high jewellery design, but also a time when the Roman jewellery house was at the forefront of it. And this brilliantly poppy display of rare design studio drawings and heritage jewels shows why. Take, the 'Parentesi' collection - a line that Bulgari continues to develop and which is a...

Ryan Frayne's Windcatcher Magnifies Human Breath, Enabling Super-Fast Inflation - Core77 - 13:30

As we saw with NEMO Equipment's gear, clever design can enable air to play a significant structural role with camping gear. In NEMO's case, that air is provided by a pump. Portland-based inventor Ryan Frayne is also experimenting with air, but he's zeroed in on a particular element of the user experience: How to get the air into the product. To that end, Frayne has focused on designing a special valve, and the results are pretty impressive. Frayne's Windcatcher design amplifies your exhalation, using physics I don't understand...

NY Design Week 2013: Compelling Geometries from Brooklyn's PELLE Designs - Core77 - 12:00

Although this year marks their first ICFF, PELLE Designs actually dates back to 2008 or so, when co-founder Jean Pelle developed the first Bubble Chandelier. She met her future business partner (and husband) Oliver about ten years ago at the Yale School of Architecture, and each went on to work for major firms before setting out on their own. The "Quadrat" series of tables takes its name from the German word for "square"; Oliver left his native Germany to study architecture in the States

Ford's Foot-Activated Liftgates - Core77 - 10:00

It's been over a year since Ford has incorporated foot-activated tailgates into their cars, and we're hoping by now some of you have direct experience with them. (The bulk of Core77 editorial staff is a bike-riding, subway-catching, sneaker-treading lot.) Ford designers' simple observation that many people approach their trunk with both hands full, and their incorporation of a feature that pops the trunk open by waving your foot under the bumper, is a welcome one. But for those of you actually living with one of these cars, how is it in practice? For those...

You and Starbucks Will Change the Way People Look at Coffee - Core77 - 08:00

wants a Sr. Packaging Designerin Seattle, Washington There are only a handful of brand logos that are as recognizable as the classic green and white Starbucks emblem.

You now have the opportunity have your designs influence this quintessential branding as the next Senior Packaging designer at Starbucks. You'll need eight years of packaging design experience and a passion...

NY Design Week 2013: Konstfack Presents 'Negative Space' at ICFF - Core77 - 03:30

Stockholm's Konstfack is among the university design departments that occupy the removed North Building of the Javits Center this ICFF, a more manageable—albeit somewhat sparsely populated—exhibition hall in contrast to the main floor of ICFF. Despite—or perhaps because of—the largely theoretical curriculum of graduate programs in Industrial Design, the 11 first-year Master's candidates at Konstfack undertook a self-initiated project to actually make objects, which they first exhibited during Stockholm Design Week back in February. According to the Negative Space website:What is a negative space?Can it be framed by something other than...

Richard Meier exhibition and installation at Fondazione Bisazza - Wallpaper - 17-05-2013

Paying tribute to iconic architect Richard Meier on the occasion of his firm's 50th anniversary, the Fondazione Bisazza presents the exhibition 'Richard Meier: Architecture and Design', which opens today at the Bisazza HQ in Vicenza, Italy.  The show includes a selection of the architecture grand master's most influential works, shown with the help of fifteen models, more than thirty technical drawings, forty photographs and a bevy of concept sketches. Lesser-known products designed by the firm, such as a tableware collection designed for Reed & Barton in collaboration with Swid Powell, will also be on display. Taking centre stage are...

NY Design Week 2013: Colleen & Eric's 'Enzyme-Catalyzed' Bonus Table 571 - Core77 - 17-05-2013

Although we've already covered Reclaim x2 fairly extensively at this point, it's easy to overlook details such as, say, the actual texture of the felt chair or the concept behind Emilie Baltz's dyadic infusions. If it wasn't clear from the photos of the Bonus Table 571—which it by no means should have been—it was made with enzymes. Bushwick-based design duo Colleen & Eric (whom we'd previously covered at ICFF in 2011) collaborated with bioengineer Loe Hubbard and sound designer Ben Cameron on the small side table, which features...

Trendlet: Trippy Trompe l'Oeil Objects and Installations - Core77 - 17-05-2013

This week we spotted objects and installations poised for a big reveal. At first look, their structure was familiar, elements not particularly out of place. But with a quick visual adjustment or test of expectations, something altogether different—a trompe l'oeil—appears. Even though our furniture often serves several functions, the art on our walls typically exists just for our eyes. But during Milan's SaloneSatellite exhibition for emerging designers, Japan's YOY Design Studio packed more features into the frame. YOY's canvases, made of wood, aluminum, and...

NY Design Week 2013: What's Big, Pink and Mobile? UHURU's #Chairtruck - Core77 - 17-05-2013

Earlier this week, I was casually minding my own business on a pleasant bike-commute from Core HQ to my humble Brooklyn abode when lo and behold, I spotted what looked like a giant hot pink chair strapped to a flatbed truck. Once I got over my initial astonishment and confirmed that this was not a mirage in my design-week-addled mind, I instinctively did that thing we do nowadays where one whips out his or her smartphone to document anything that seems remotely interesting. Case in point, here's an inane video of the truck eluding...

Architect Ted Cullinan designs latest Maggie's Centre in Newcastle - Wallpaper - 17-05-2013

For any architect, the invitation to design a Maggie's Centre is an honour. Charles Jencks, the venerable architecture theorist and his late wife Maggie founded the cancer centres in 1993 after Maggie contracted the disease and wanted a place where she and fellow sufferers could go for support beyond hospital walls. Maggie passed away in 1995, but since then Jencks has called upon the world's best architects from Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry to Piers Gough and Richard Rogers, to design Maggie's Centres across the UK and abroad.   This week, the UK's sixteenth Maggie's opens in Newcastle. Designed...

Another Minimalist Mudguard: The Plume Rolls Out on Kickstarter - Core77 - 17-05-2013

Looks cool... Move over, Rain Tail—there's a new ultraminimal rear fender in town. The Plume is a recoiling mudguard that is deployed by unrolling the coiled strip of stainless steel and 'retracted' with a simple flick. The hardware slides neatly onto a bicycle seatpost and it looks something like a sideways cupholder when not in use, functioning something like a reverse slap-bracelet. Note: Animated GIF for purposes of illustration only Founders Dan McMahon and Patrick Laing met three years ago in London and have been developing the...
