NY Design Week 2013: Field and Various Projects Present 'Here & There' in Noho Design District - Core77 - 22-05-2013

We've seen plenty of excellent work by Washington, D.C.-based Jonah Takagi here and there at various exhibitions and venues over the years, but we finally crossed paths during NY Design Week at a pop-up shop/exhibition for his new-ish retail venture Field. Although he launched the company with childhood friend Daniel Thomas last year, Here & There marked first major event in New York, a collaboration between the D.C.-and-Chicago-based brand and NYC's Various Projects, who stock some of the carefully curated goods at their flagship store in the Lower...

Quirky's Prop Power Rugged: An Extension Cord with a Snake-like Grip - Core77 - 22-05-2013

Those with dedicated workshops of their own design have the luxury of placing their own power outlets. Bur for DIY'ers making do in mixed-use spaces, or tradespeople on jobsites, the chaos that is extension cords is a built-in part of any project: You need to keep the tool connection out of the sawdust pile, and arrange the cords in such a way that you and others won't trip over them.

NY Design Week 2013: Let There Be Light - Lighting at ICFF - Core77 - 22-05-2013

Rich Brilliant Willing's "Monocle" wall sconce Although the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is notorious for its rather unflattering industrial lighting fixtures, many of the exhibitors at the ICFF happen to design lamps and lighting for the appreciably more intimate settings of the home or office, where (thankfully) we spend most of our time. Here's a selection of some of our favs, including several new offerings from our friends at Rich Brilliant Willing, Brendan Ravenhill and Patrick Townsend. The Gala Chandelier comes in a variety of configurations(more...)

A Boatload of Trouble? America's Other Hidden Oil Reserves: Shipwrecks - Core77 - 22-05-2013

This is crazy—see those yellow dots on the map? Those are the locations of some 20,000 known shipwrecks off the coast of America, all mapped by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration as part of their Remediation of Underwater Legacy Environmental Threats (RULET) project. Many of those yellow dots are older sailing ships or coal-fired vessels, and it's no big deal if those sit on the bottom of the ocean; others, however, are World-War-II-era oil tankers torpedoed by the freaking Nazis.

Thinking Outside the Build Platform: MATAERIAL's 'Anti-Gravity Object Modeling' 3D Printer - Core77 - 22-05-2013

Earlier this year, we came across the 3Doodler, a pen that allows the user to sketch far beyond the bounds a material substrate, namely paper. (Boston's WobbleWorks had more than quadrupled their $30,000 funding goal when we posted about the product at launch; by the time the campaign wrapped up a month later, they'd raised a whopping $2.3m) Led by Petr Novikov and Saša Jokić, a team of researchers from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and...

Quora's David Cole Settles the Apple Logo / Golden Ratio Issue Once and For All - Core77 - 21-05-2013

While I understand the appeal of the golden ratio as a rational approach to aesthetics most people would probably agree that it's impossible to reduce beauty to a series of numeric relationships. Yet the myth persists, and it should come as no surprise that these putatively ideal proportions might hypothetically inform graphic design as well—after all, the very premise of digital software is to allow us to create vector images with mathematically unerring accuracy. And of all the countless logos that we see on a daily basis, Apple's ideogrammatic fruit is a...

Mayfly Cottage by Stiff + Trevillion, UK - Wallpaper - 21-05-2013

Designed for a couple of London-based fly-fishing enthusiasts seeking a weekend retreat in the English countryside, Mayfly Cottage is a new residential project by London-based architects Stiff + Trevillion. + Trevillion The two-level, 310sq m house, created with traditional construction methods from the area, is the architects' reinterpretation of a rural barn on the River Test in Hampshire. The new building sits on the grounds of a listed manor house, on a plot where an old cottage once served as ancillary accommodation. 'A sustainable approach was key,' explains lead architect Chris Eaton. 'This was led by using a combination...

To Advance Micro-Living Designs, Have Design Students Live in Tiny, Unfurnished Spaces. Yea or Nay? - Core77 - 21-05-2013

You've heard the expression that [American] football is a game of inches. So, increasingly, is living in Manhattan. This video of Luke Clark Tyler's apartment (captured by Kirsten Dirksen's Fair Companies) has racked up nearly two million hits, and for good reason: Tyler downsized from his previous 96-square-foot palace to shoehorn his life into a 78-square-foot studio. But what really makes this video distinct from other "tiny living" vids we've seen, and what should be of interest to the Core77 reader, is that Tyler is a trained architect who can...

NY Design Week 2013: Introducing Intro NY - Core77 - 21-05-2013

Design agency smallpond looked to go big time for the inaugural NYCxDesign festival, entering the fray with the support of London's Designjunction. The new INTRO NY show was modest in the best way possible, a showcase of smaller, mostly non-NYC design brands in a well-lit, street-level space in the heart of Little Italy (there was audible din from a parade two blocks over when I visited on Saturday morning). If on-site retail—a curated neo-utility pop-up shop—and refreshments seem to be par for...

The V&A's fundraising bid to boost its design collection - Wallpaper - 21-05-2013

Much of the most interesting and innovative contemporary design comes in small runs and is eye-wateringly expensive. Not so much of a problem if you are an oil baron or mineral multibillionaire. More of a problem if you're a cash-strapped public institution determined to collect and show contemporary design, as points out Jana Scholze, curator of contemporary furniture and product design at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. 'The market for experimental, limited-edition pieces is really strong,' she says, 'which has made it really difficult for us to collect that kind of design.' This month's V&A Design Fund dinner, the...
