Terrible. (Yet amazingly useful and efficient!)

The Daft Punk 400% Bearbrick Set from before looked mean.

The design for the Daft Punk Medicom toys just got better:

“Hong Kong’s SILLY THING is once again working with Medicom Toy on an upcoming project set to release in October of this year. With the 1000% Beatles Kubrick set recently released, SILLY THING newest’s endeavor is to create a 1000% sized Daft Punk Kubrick set. Releasing in October 2009, look for more information to come as we get closer to the launch date.”

Sarah’s work is crazy playful and creative with how she uses different media and textiles. Click the image to check out her site. For some reason it reminds me of elementary school crafts. Must be the felt.

From what we’ve seen at dundas and mccaul stretching out towards the west is a beautiful, grand structure comprised of wood, steel and glass that is the new face of the AGO. Inside the gallery is a whole other look on it’s own. We owe it to Frank Gehry for utilizing his talent and panache, recreating the AGO and leaving an imprint in this city that we can all truly appreciate and admire.

“It is fitting that the 70-year-old Frank Gehry ended up re-envisioning the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) for his native city of Toronto. As a boy, Gehry visited the AGO often, and the effect of those visits on him and his future career was important. Gehry has lived most of his life in the U.S., but the AGO remake allows Toronto to reap some of the benefits of his massive talent before it’s all too late.”

Wicked stuff, Mr. Gehry

French product designer Stephanie Choplin created this fun idea of making plant pots in the shape of tetris blocks.

“Born as a simple experiment during the ceramic course in the Estonian Academy of Arts, Stephanie’s initial idea was to personally carry out the model, the mould, the molding, coloring and cooking. Unfortunately the model was too big with complex molding of 2 parts and the final result was not satisfying. So what’s left is the brilliant idea, illustrated in 3D models below, waiting for go-getting production.”

The unique bike frame on this bike gives it a clean, simple look that seperates itself from many modern bicycle designs.

“The BauBike is inspired by Bauhaus design.
It is constructed around the geometric shape of the square and the equilateral triangle. The design is stripped down to clean lines and raw material.

By limiting the form with a fixed set of design rules and stepping away from the traditional function-oriented approach to the design process, this project transcends the border between design and art, raising fundamental questions about the nature of the bike as design and as a lifestyle accessory and introducing a much needed playfulness on the bicycle scene.
The BauBike is a bike for the modern urban society where adaptability is a necessity.”
