Cassina, Charlotte Perriand

The Cool Hunter - Welcome

This would indeed be the best case scenario: You take your favourite gadget and dress it up in with your favourite colour. Monaco-based Case Scenario has linked up with Pantone and as a result, they are now able to make this scenario a reality.

In their Case Scenario Pantone Universe collection for Fall and Winter 2010-2011, this means specifically that you can dress your iPhone 4 and iPad in a protective case in a limited range of PANTONE® colours.

Watch II Black par Flemming Bo Hansen chez Rosendahl sur Timefy

 
Flemming Bo Hensen est focus sur le temps dans ses conceptions pour Rosendahl. Quel est le futile, l'utile ? Il simplifie le dessin, incurve les lignes et profile des modèles modernes non départis pour autant du parfum scandinave identitaire de Rosendahl et du design de Bo Hensen. La Watch II est pleinement sans ce concept, c'est un ruban d'un seul tenant qui entoure votre poignet. La jonction entre bracelet et bloc est lisse, très résistante. Le bloc est en acier poli et le cadran en verre minéral. L'affichage digital est blanc sur fond noir, très contrasté et de belle dimension. C'est la montre simple par excellence pour ceux qui souhaitent un modèle discret et élégant, à la ligne pure et moderne. Dimensions : 22 x 37 mm, épaisseur 6 mm. Bloc acier, verre minéral. Bracelet polyéthylène. Fonctions alarme, heure, date.

Je ne suis pas fan de montres en général, mais ce design qui date des années 60 est véritablement superbe.

Objectified : a documentary film about industrial design by Gary Hustwit

I've just discovered the trailer, through this tweet from Michael Sippey (I can't help clicking links. I didn't know about Helvetica either. I can't wait to see Objectified, so many great designers I admire appear in this documentary.

Table "Survie" by Totema Design

This outside table is terrific. I love the simplicity, the shape, the material, the colour (it exists in 5 colours).

What I do not understand  (and like) is the price : EUR 6,000 (you can find it at EUR 4.700 on this site)
The editor, Totema Design (I hate these Flash websites where you can't switch off the music), decided to launch a limited edition of 20 pieces. Why ?
They will get EUR 120,000 out of this, I' ve no idea about the production cost, but this doesn't look that technical (if I'm wrong, then they should maybe simplify production process ?).
This table was designed in 1998, prototyped in 2004, finally edited in 2008. 10 years. How many pieces would they have sold in 10 years at a more affordable price ?
When will good design be really affordable ?

Carafe

I love this water carafe.
