A Thread for Fine Design
-
I was doing some research on Lanterns, and stumbled across these Vancouver Architects whose company is called Molo Design. http://molodesign.com/
Their website is well worth the visit, so I though I would raise this thread up from the dead.
The lantern search led me to these brilliant bags/lamps called "hobo"
Yes it can be used as a satchel, and a wall (or anywhere I guess) light.
Aside from the duality, there is a real usefulness here in being able to have your bag light up.
But mostly I just think they are cool.
Three other lights are shown in this photo, Cloud Softlight, Cappello, and Urchine. The sculpturable
forms of the Cloud Softlight and Urchine make them really appealing to me.
But it is there work with paper wall systems that I think is really creative fine design.
If you drill down into their website, there is a pricelist, and these are amazingly affordable given their uniqueness.
Also you will find they use SketchUp.
Well of course they do.

I did a Mondrian/FL Wright comparative essay in Art School, and won a scholarship with it.
I think that Mondrian pops up a lot in Modern and Post Modern Design. -

If I would have taken Calculus, I would have been thrown out of school... -
Thought this was a beautiful design, but also because it is a photoreal rendering by Vladimir Igonin.

Hey Simon
I agree with dozer, great knives. Thanks. Do you remember the source for these? -
Happy 2012.
I figured it would be appropriate to look at some entrys as we walk in to 012.Japanese Architect Japanese Architect Noi Shigemasahttp://www.noi-shigemasa.com/works/cat2/index.html Shimuraya Bar Tokyo.
The building is Energyforum in Berlin, but I couldn't find the Architects name, so if anybody knows please chime in.
Design for Russian Hill Residence by John Maniscalco Architecture.Exemplifies the beauty of understatement.

Deciding to continue on with the entrance theme, I revisited the website of Shigemasa Noi (featured above http://www.noi-shigemasa.com/works/cat3/index.html
I was so impressed by how he was able to evoke a sense of curiosity, perhaps even mystery, in the entry's to some of his projects.
His website is quite tasteful, and what is even more intriguing is the spaces to which the entries lead.
Materio base ... Gallery and Salon
Ichiyo Art Ceramics Gallery
Union Art Wares
Vagrie Bag Store
Koshino Ayako Clothing and Salon
Cafe Ring Ginza Namiki Street Jewelery
And Just to intrigue you, one of the spaces to which Mr. Noi's entrances lead.

The following Armani Fifth Ave. / Massimiliano & Doriana Fuksas Stairs would be a very nice modeling exercise to offer in challenge to all users, as all necessary plans, elevations and photos of this complex organic architectural element are present in the link
(one more time pictures are linked

Robsons Sq. Vancouver, BC
An interesting solution to a perennial problem... access for all. It's fine design imho.
With one caveat: The disability vechicle ramp seems flawless, but what about the poor bugger who doesn't notice the step UP on the way down!
I wanted to understand how it actually worked, so I built it in SU. At least the first couple of levels. Then it got too hard to resolve at the top, but the principle is there if anyone wants it. (or to solve it? I have the risers at 145mm and the going at 330mm but getting the levels right has been beyond me).
BazHappy new year, peace on earth and goodwill to all things.

Sure dear Dale: sources are linked to the pictures
I would ask how you do that, but that would admit that I don't know how (which I don't, so ... How did you do that?)
Also introduced me to Guy Laramee through your "Great Wall" posting, from opera to installations, this is one interesting fellow.
And the Armani stairs are eye candy. Thanks for that.
Cheers
Dale
