Leave it to Art. Lebedev to create Segmentus, a clock that uses traditional clock hands to form numbers like those on a digital display. You can also look over their design process for the concept.

Pink Tentacle has a nice collection of assorted posters by Yusaku Kamekura, often considered the father of Japanese graphic design. Many would probably know him best from his gorgeous work for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.

I am crazy about this wily Demon Lamp, designed by the most excellent Jamie Hewlett. Measuring at a respectable height of 40cm (about 15¼ inches), the lamp comes with a free energy-saving bulb if shipped within the UK.

I found this little guy while exploring Gorillaz’ new Plastic Beach site. I also dig the resemblance to the Naugahyde Nauga, as noticed by a few Drawn! readers.

Koko is a side/night table with built-in laptop desk/breakfast tray. Designed by Polish design studio kompott for VOX Furniture (although I currently don’t see it for sale on the VOX site).

How often do you check your favorite blog at work or read work emails at home? The rapid development of the mobile technology caused changes in our habits as well as in our living space: a sofa or a bed area more and more often turns into a working space. Koko was inspired by the fact of merging two traditionally separated aspects of life - work and relax.

MakingOf has posted a video clip of the Up In The Air film title sequence, created by Shadowplay Studio. Shadowplay was also behind the titles to Jason Reitman’s Juno and Thank You For Smoking films.

In this interview, Reitman said this about collecting the aerial footage seen in the titles:

(Shadowplay) came up with this idea of vintage moving postcards, the most complicated element of which was getting this aerial footage that seems like film. I figured you put a camera in a plane, you put it up in the air, you point down, you get aerial footage, right? I really thought it would be that simple. It was so complicated. Every time you see aerial footage in a movie it’s from a helicopter at 12,000 ft. To get it from 25,000 ft, first we went up with a jet and we had a camera that was going through this bubble system, except the optics weren’t good enough and atmosphere was giving us trouble. Then we went up with a propeller plane and the pilot had to wear an oxygen mask to get up that high; we took a camera out on a wing, we went digital instead of film, and then the camera would not go straight down, so they’d have to put the plane into a dive to get the camera to go down. I mean it was just like unreal how hard it was to get this footage. But I’m really happy with the results and of course it made for fun opening titles.

Additionally, Apple has a short featurette about Shadowplay and the Up In The Air titles.

Mobius Ampersand by typographer Dave Bailey. It’s an ampersand, and it’s mathematically non-orientable. What’s not to love?

Unsurprisingly, I’ve geeked out Möbius-style before.

Update: I just learned that Bailey’s ampersand is one of many collected for Font Aid IV, a collaborative typeface to consist entirely of ampersands (note that the project’s theme is “Coming Together”). The completed font will be sold with all proceeds going to the Doctors Without Borders effort in Haiti. You can see more of the ampersand submissions in this Typophile thread.

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:38:11 -0500

This beautiful unassuming two-story library building in Thailand was built with natural lava stone from the site, concrete, wood, and bamboo. The project was a cooperative between Rintala Eggertsson Architects and students from NTNU Trondheim University for the children of Ban Tha Song Yang villiage’s Safe Haven Orphanage.

The task was to use local materials and building technics to create a building that would solve the problems of education in the orphanage the best possible way. At the same time, natural ventilation systems and sunshades were studied and introduced into the building.

I’m in awe of the shapes, palettes, and overall sophisticated style of 21-year-old Matthew Lyons’ stunning illustrations. Hopefully, most of you have already experienced his work. If you haven’t, go do it now. Your eyeballs and your brain will thank you.
