The biggest name in vacuums now aims to reinvent the table-top fan. The Dyson Air Multiplier Fan, uses a blade-less design that pumps up to 119 galloons of air per second in a smooth and steady flow.
The Dyson Air Multiplier works by drawing air into its base and forcing it up into a “loop amplifier” where it is accelerated by a jet. When the air exits the loop amplifier, it actually pulls air from its rear side, forcing it forward– and amplifying it 15 times. The result is fanning technology without the uneven airflow of chopping blades. That constant flow of air means steady cooling without those papers on your desk intermittently taking flight.
The design is sleek, iconic and can fit perfectly in a progressive home or office.
After the Bubble Chair collaboration by INSA and Rousseau, the artist and the brand got together once again to work this time on a lounge chair. The one piece lounger by Rousseau feature INSA’s signature colors and patterns and will be released in the coming weeks.
After Jean Paul Gaultier, UK designer Paul Smith is the next one in line to design a limited edition bottle for French water maker Evian.

Following the now popular de-branding aesthetic, Absolut Vodka introduce their “No Label” Edition, further emphasizing the company’s slogan: “In An ABSOLUT World, There Are No Labels”. The meaning of the initiative is to challenge labels and prejudice to make the world more diverse, vibrant, and respectful… through alcohol. For those interested, this new edition will be available via the colette online store on August 24th.
Designed for a club owner a while ago, the “45 Audio Station” by Chicago-based designer Christian Castro is a DJ table with an integrated vinyl case to rock the dance floor. The name “45″ has a dual meaning derived from the 45 record speed and the design’s resemblance to a handgun. The audio station is made of epoxy, concrete and steel, materials dictated by the design and a turntable’s operational requirement of no movement or vibration. The vertical element of the design is cast concrete connected to the horizontal element, which is made of molded foam. Both the vertical and horizontal elements are coated in glossy resin. The horizontal element is ridged and light, while the vertical element is heavy and immobile. The entire unit is bolted through the club floor.
On Monday we attended the official launch of the new Absolut Vodka Rock Edition launch. Absolut worked with designer Natalia Brilli, who is known for wrapping things in leather. This time she of course wrapped the iconic Absolut bottle in leather and added studs to it as well, giving it a real rock vibe.
For the occasion Absolut organized a massive launch event in Berlin. The free drinks of course helped. Natalia Brillis leather instruments were on display, along with artist guitars and more. For music that evening they had Wolfmother, Smith & Drums and DJ Alex come in.
150 years of continuous/passionate refinement have resulted in bicycle components that are both ultra efficient and ultra reliable. And yet this passionate perfection hides in plain sight. The power of design is its ability to create (animal) magnetism around compelling ideas in relevant context. Dana Krieger, Industrial designer at Teague presents a tribute to the triangle. A reinterpretation of an icon, which unifies individual components into a coherent statement in tune with contemporary needs (and attitudes). Equal parts gym membership, fashion statement and Kyoto pact contributor–Pulse is a transportation solution in synch with the needs of today’s urban denizen.

Inspired by the small, seemingly inconsequential things in life, designer Sander van Heukelom looked to something as small and trivial as spray can caps as the inspiration behind a line of chairs. Designed for his solo exhibition in Amsterdam titled “The Artistry of the Cap”, the two-piece collection includes the “New York Fat Cap Chair” and the “Hooded Fat Cap Chair”.

Projected weight is under 450kg, and incredible performance can be achieved using minimum mechanicals. The faceted shape is a direct result of its panelized construction. The next evolution of the legendary Lotus Super 7. Pure lightweight simplicity! |
The Proust Armchair was first designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1978. This unique armchair represents the original meeting between handcraft and design, between classic and modern. It is part of Mendini’s series “redesigns furniture”. Believing that Modern Design had reached the end of its natural life and that designers could no longer create innovative designs, Mendini “redesigned” acknowledged classics. The Proust chair is inspired from the Louis XV style. Lisez la suite de cette entrée »

Jinyoung Jo is a car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, and this is her creation: the Chanel Fiole concept. As with classic Coco Chanel work, the design of the car was centered on simplicity of lines and “the best of black and white.” As with most concepts, there was also an emphasis on airflow. The car seats three, two abreast and one staggered in between — but it’s probably best considered a sleek two-seater for runway types.
The “Divine” series is a collaborative effort with Emmanuel Touraine. A series of exclusive chairs, sleek and modern, constructed with several different glamorous materials. These items are so limited that you’ll need an invitation to get the chance to own one.

Stay tuned for a further look into the final production samples.
Korean designer, Ji Lee came up with a creative, and original idea for a business card. It’s minimal, and is great for those people who have a lot of material on the net, and therefore don’t have to list every single page they have (website, flickr, facebook, twitter, behance, etc…)

The world tour of Damien Hirst’s “For the Love of God” will kick off on November 1 at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. Widely celebrated thus far, the diamond encrusted skull will be accompanied by a selection of the Museum’s 17th Century art chosen by Hirst himself. It seems that he’s not only changing the nature of how art is sold, but also how it is exhibited. “For the Love of God” will remain in Amsterdam until December 15.
The bubble chair gets sexed up by Insa in this collaboration with Rousseau. Light sensitive material forms the graphic structure. The whole thing is a contemporary twist on a retro classic.
Dutch architects UNStudio is set to design the Louis Vuitton Flagship Store in Japan. UNStudio has been on the forefront of architecture with their unique forms and sense of space. The store will be a 10-story building with everything you can imagine including a cafe, spa, bookstore, exhibition gallery, and of course retail space.
The proposal has taken branding to the next level by incorporating Louis Vuitton’s famous monogram leaf shape into the design on both a big and small scale. The building takes on a green approach with multiple gardens and natural ventilation. Check out the great renderings and model after the jump.
If fueling your car with bio-diesel or random waste products isn’t your thing, then a bike that run on hydrogen might spark your interest. At first glance, the ENV Bike looks like an upgrade from those grungy, run-of-the-mill motocross bikes. For starters, the clean design matches its commitment to being emission-free—the baby seals will thank you in the end. No complicated gears on this bike either. The simple button controls make it easy enough for anyone with no previous motorcycle riding experience to hop on and go. See the original concept and a few more photos of the ENV.
Bring on the pollutants and harmful toxins—these Diddo Velema, Gucci and Louis Vuitton collaborative gas-masks are going to make fashionistas want to inhale stuff that’ll kill them. The high-fashioned monogrammed, and diamond encrusted headwear was debuted by Velema at the 2008 Luxury Show in Bucharest, Romania and seem to be reserved for the filthy-rich hypochondriacs. Chemical warfare? No biggie, we’re dyin’ in style.
Take note Star Island dwellers; none of your cribs match up to this Jet House. Designed by spatial concept connoisseur, Jerome Olivet, the futuristic house is two levels and even comes equipped with it’s own elevator. Olivet set out to achieve what he refers to as a “biomorphic” aesthetic, which utilizes intricate rounded shapes to provide a calming effect. The calming construction talk sounds like the usual design mumbo-jumbo, but you gotta give Olivet his props for haveing the balls to pull off something this involved. More shots after the jump.
