This is pretty phenomenal. Dentsu London, a creative communications agency, collaborated with BERG to visualize their “Making Future Magic” strategy in a movie. They decided to make a stop motion animation with light drawings made with an iPad. The result is amazing.

The FF1 Chair by Fox & Freeze

Posted in Architecture, Economy, Furniture, Sculpture, Total RADDness by RADDblog on April 12, 2010

Belgian designers James Van Vossel and Tom de Vrieze have formed a creative cooperation calledFox & Freeze. Their first product is the FF1 Chair. It’s just plain hot.

From the designers:

FF1 or Fox & Freeze1 is an indoor lounge chair made out of 1 square sheet of synthetic felt. There is no loss of material (except from the drilled holes), it is not supported with wood or metal or other. The Structure is self-supporting, the flax rope contracts the chair and finishes the chair aesthetically. The shell and base are not separated from the sheet but remain connected. Starting from a square surface, the felt sheet is twisted and twisted again, just like a scarf, ending in a symmetric and but also an asymmetric object, this is literally forms follows function.

The chair is surprisingly strong, watch a video of them jumping on it – here.

“Innen Stadt Außen” by Olafur Eliasson

Posted in Installation, Performance, Photography, Total RADDness by RADDblog on March 23, 2010

Innen Stadt Außen” is the title of Olafur Eliasson‘s upcomming exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.

Innen Stadt Außen concerns itself closely with the relationship between museum and city, architecture and landscape, as well as between space, body and time. The site-specific investigations within the museum are amplified and commented on through ephemeral projects in public space, thus linking the Martin-Gropius-Bau to various places within the city.

This photo of the Berlin Fernsehturm gives you an idea what to expect. The exhibition opens on April 28th and you’ll have time till August 9th to go and see it.
