Ausgebrannt

It doesn't get much better than this. Wow. This was one of those products you see where time stands still while jaw slowly drops and eyes widen.

I was immediately attracted to this stool by the contrasting textures and colour. I could see it was made from one piece and only noticed that it had been burnt by the last image shown.

Breath taking design process and end product. I love this elegant and natural organic shape but especially love that it has a dark element to it's creation.

Alternative Alarm Clock

This alarm clock uses a common electric outlet to allow the user to determine what they shall wake to.

I like this approach as it directs attention away from just sound and thus becoming an interaction where all your senses could be affected. I also really like that there are 2 sockets available. This means you could really mix up what your senses are alerted to. For me, It would be my coffee machine and my lamp.

I am not normally attracted to such a product but I think it works here. If the aesthetics were any different- it would not be as effective and as there is reason to it- it ticks my box.

ONE DAY I WILL MAKE THIS! I found throughout this video a smile became a stupid grin to laughter- inspired (and jealous) I am.

(Best ending too- men in white coats begin to put it right!)

"the best movie in the world" with painstaking hand-drawn animation.

What a tribute!! LOVE this! Make sure you watch all the way to the end and pay attention!

Combining sleek apple products with simple crafted objects is right up my street and bang on beautiful.

I have always been a fan of Jonas but feel his latest work for frog is inspiring. I partically love the analogue alarm clock where the form of the object, follows the form of the iphone- simplicity is key and this is executed to perfection. This is the beauty of Jonas's work; they are always simple products that are made into elegant pieces.
