Ron Arad

Ron Arad: Restless explores three decades of Arad’s work from his early post-punk approach to his highly polished sculptural furnishings, via his architectural designs and mass produced pieces. The show also features a dramatic installation made from cutting edge LED technology which really needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated.

I consider this show a real 'must see', I was slightly dubious about whether it would impress but had no need to worry. The work is diverse and truly stunning and the wealth of support information and the planning of the exhibition is exemplary.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank The Barbican Art Centre for inviting me :)

Plush Department

Plush Department combines the power of computers with living, organic and beautiful materials. They create cases from ceramic, glass, concrete and wood - adding colour and style and pattern and line to what used to be a boring square box.

Igarashi Design

Beautiful and unbelievably realistic vehicle design. The quality of the modeling and textures is exceptional - if only they were real!

An old link I only rediscovered a couple of days ago - happy to have found it again...

Futuristic Ferrari

I'm usually a Lamborghini man, but if I could have one of these I might make an exception ;-).

Ideo

The new IDEO site has launched.

I really like the re-design: it feels interesting and exciting, is bursting with information and the usability of the site is very well thought through too.

BMW Gina

Impressive adaptive industrial design and a stunning looking piece of machinery (I wouldn't like to see what the damage would be if someone keyed the side of it though).

Macbook Air

MacBook Air is the new ultrathin, ultraportable addition to the Mac family. Wow, impressive! Not powerful enough for me though.

Vanity Ring

The ring as a status symbol. It shows the number of Google hits you get, when you search for the name of the person who wears it.

iPod Touch

All new family of iPods available over at Apple. The iPod Touch is beautiful, but apart from the much larger hard drive I can't really see the advantages of getting one of these over an iPhone. Especially if we're meant to be moving towards a single convergent device.
