A Thread for Fine Design

[Mike Lucey]

...... initially I thought, yes! ..... the no .... then yes again. What do you think? I imagine the question, 'where do I sit?' comes to mind

Design conceived in terms of space and utility, sensei gathers two different objects in one same product, being these, two chairs or a small table. http://claudiosibille.com/sensei.php

Saw the chairs on Gizmag. The first thought I had was only if the floor is truly level. I assume that this is a quick, "impromptu" arrangement. I didn't see any kind of interlock hardware, but I am sure there is something to unitize the work surface.

I think the birdhouse tiles are ill-advised. Again the solar gain problem. Also I'd rather have a built-in elevator. Who wants to see that, much less ride in it (more than once )Rest is looking good!

Just saw this posted on Facebook. Thought someone would like it.

Such fine work.
This is by David Fletcher http://www.dbfletcher.com/
He has designed a few tables like this, mostly I believe for Yachts.
Bloody brilliant.

This project surely deserves a place in this thread - Picture updates on pages 1, 5, 7, 11 and the final product on page 17. I challenge you to make it all the way through without wincing.

OMG! That's all I can say!

In a sense this is out of the box for this Thread, or is it?

Japanese researchers say they've developed a way to decode your sleeping brain's activity using an MRI machine in real time - or in other words, "watch" your dreams. http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2013/04/scientists-learn-to-see-your-dreams-with-mri-scans.html

If this same technology can be applied to your memory, it could mean a the largest single change in the justice system since DNA.

I thought this new concept is very clever!

More of a great idea than fine design if you live with limited space.
