Loopita By Victor M. Aleman
May 1, 2011 § Leave a comment
Award-winning, Mexico City-based industrial designer, Victor M. Aleman, focuses on aligning the bond between complex digital design and skilled Mexican craftsmanship. Indicative of this creative output from his self-founded Victor Aleman/Estudio is Loopita; a continuous seating curve for two, handcrafted from conserved start to surface finish. Master joinery and force of compression bind the sections together, leaving you with a strikingly singular indoor/outdoor seating unit.

Carefully compiled by myself, ELECTR_ODE_ is my 9-track 8tracks which, as the title suggests, is an ode to electronic music, and you can listen to it here: http://8tracks.com/fiwilson/electr_ode_
Know, reader, that due to licensing balls the order will only be as intended once per person, after that it’ll be rendered unto the fate we know as randomised plays, though this will doubtless be an irritation to nobody but myself. Enjoy!

Japanese Immigration Memorial By Gustavo Penna And Associates
April 21, 2011 § Leave a comment
Beautifully realised by Gustavo Penna and Associates, the Japanese Immigration Memorial is a monument which exists in metaphorical celebration of bi-cultural cohesion. Situated in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, it structurally and environmentally honours the relationship between Japan and the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais through its unity of cultural symbolism.
From the architect: “The journey starts from the symbolic Japan of cherry trees to Minas of white ipe trees. In order to honor Japan and Minas, curved walls were also placed, side by side, in an allusion to both flags: the red circle and triangle. This is a fortunate analogy which refers to the synthesis and concision that is common to the peoples of both countries. The symmetrical bridge shape with entwined curves brings, at the same time, cohesion, continuous movement and interdependence.”
The memorial is located in the Prosecutor Francisco Lins do Rêgo Ecological Park, Belo Horizonte.

Hidden Light By Gihawoo Design
April 20, 2011 § Leave a comment
South Korean product designer, Giha Woo, is rather adept at re-interpreting the necessitous relationship between objects, and his Hidden Light chair is a fine example of this purist application of the discipline. A simple chair frame that can be manipulated to reveal the hidden overhead light embedded within is a wonderfully structural response to the merging of multiple functionality.
