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...
