Alessi Il Tempo della Festa Timbale Moulds are a set of 6 architecturally inspired silicone molds that come in black, white, and three transparent colorways designed by Mario Trimarchi. As they describe, “Ever since the end of the 1500s the shapes of desserts, cake moulds and timbales have been evolving, often imitating or reproducing forms found in architecture and nature. Mario Trimarchi, with this series of six Timbales for sweet and savory preparations.” Depending on what you’re making, you can layer in different colors and substances to create surprising jello shots, cakes, and more! Take a peek at sketches, initial molds, and more on the next page!

“Lolo” es el nombre del ultimo piso diseñado por el chileno Pablo Llanquin para la empresa Medular Design. En palabras del diseñador, el objetivo del proyecto ha sido diseñar un piso entretenido que le entregue color y vitalidad a la casa o el lugar donde se inserte, pero que también tenga detalles y materiales más nobles.

There seems to be two camps in terms of representation: people who love silhouettes and people who love people. We’ve all made both, and quickly we seem to put ourselves into one camp or the other. There seems to be very little middle ground. I like people. The starkness of the silhouettes populating the scene give off a coldness, a ghostliness, of a not yet conceived project. It seems to keep a project in another world entirely—a world devoted to the abstraction of the render, pristine with shiny materials and black figures.
Zaha Hadid employs the use of the silhouette, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has visited her work. There’s inaccessibility to it, a lack of a connection between the computer rendering and the actual build work. The intangible computer model somehow is translated into a built architecture, but the blatant disrespect of the human experience still evident in the obvious struggle to build the unbuildable. She employs the silhouette wi...From Archinect

Seed'er Box is my thesis work from Cranbrook Academy of Art. It was prefabricated at Cranbrook's studios and was displayed at the annual degree show from April 20-May 17 2013. The project is currently in transit to a new and permanent site in Colorado. I designed and built the project with the intention of laying down roots for a house using the resources currently at my disposal. A major consideration was designed the building so that the cost of transportation and installation is very low. To do this I kept the dimensions to a scale that means it can travel on the roadway with no special permitting and I build a trailer in tandem with the building to carry it.
My vision for the building is that once it is installed permanently it will exist as a cabin and studio space (for short periods of occupation). Over time I will graft on to the building and site to extend the utility and size of the abode, while maintaining the relationship the interior has to the outside environment.

The project is the addition of a dining room, reading room and two bedroom suites to an existing 1948 adobe-brick house.Careful consideration was given to the siting of the new addition and its relationship to existing trees, the original house and a previous addition completed by JM-A in 2011 (a writing studio called the ‘Box Office’).It employs the material and formal language developed for the Box Office: spare, platonic boxes of a perceptual mass detailed precisely at their junctions to openings with a material thinness.

Here’s the latest from NOTCOT’s London-based editor and resident zoologist, Justine Aw as she checks out Clerkenwell Design Week 2013.I couldn’t help but stop as I caught a glimpse of the Cloud Leopard hanging through the open doorway of Craft Central at Clerkenwell Design Week. The stunning installation was cut by hand over five months by Nahoko Kojima of Solo Kojima and actually created right in Clerkenwell! Since it’s creation, the piece was unveiled at the Saatchi Gallery and has travelled extensively with Arte&Arte’s Miniartextil. More photos of this incredible piece on the next page.

Spotted at ICFF, these Kamina & C Stools designed by Takeshi Sawada are too cute ~ pictures really don’t do them justice. They are ADORABLE! And fuzzy and cute and perfectly little kid sized. Coming in Bambi, Sheep, and Cow variations, Bambi is by far the cutest, sheep at a close second… take a peek at the pics on the next page!

Finish eating your soup and save the best bite for last: the one where you chomp right into the utensil you are using to scoop it up.
We have silverware for eating at home (though even that requires washing) and plastic tableware for events and travel, but this solution is environmentally friendly in either context. TriangleTree proposes three flavors of this edible design – plain, spicy or sweet – to match various meals as needed.

Architecture and design firm Zaarchitects received 2nd prize for their hotel design in New York called Heart of the District. Instead of using the hotel to separate visitors from the local environment, it aims to embed them into the city life. Heart of the District is half building-half street; a unique volume suspended between two existing buildings. The hotel's rooms are located in the buildings, connected by a path that includes eateries, retail, conference rooms, play space, and a small movie theatre. Patrons and visitors will be able to view the street traffic and city life, yet will still be able to enjoy the comfort of the hotel experience.
