Spray-on Clothing, a new Fashion Trend?

13/10/2010

 
Picture
Forget weaving and stitching clothes. A new material could be sprayed directly onto your body and have you ready to go out in minutes.

Particle engineer Paul Luckham and fashion designer Manel Torres from Imperial College London combined cotton fibres, polymers and a solvent to form a liquid that becomes a fabric when sprayed. The material can be built up in layers to create a garment of your desired thickness and can also be washed and worn again like conventional fabrics.

In addition to creating instant fashion, the technology could have a range of other uses – spray-on bandages, for instance. "It's a sterilised material coming from an aerosol can, and you can add drugs to it to help a wound heal faster," says Torres.

On Monday, a fashion show at Imperial will feature the first couture collection created with the material.

Amazing Italian Designed Space Saving Furniture

28/6/2010

I was just amazed with the various furniture I saw in the video below, for they are space saving, extremely practical and are also really well designed. They are more than a simple folding bed or an expanding table but actual transforming pieces that would be efficient within any apartment, room or home. The maker is explaining throughout about the furniture design, but the video is totally worth watching!

The process, as explained by Resource Furniture, combines a Furniture Designer, a Mechanical Engineer and also a Hardware company to put together amazing sets that could make any room, studio apartment or space a lot more useful and enjoyable.

If you are more of a Geek, then you should definitely have a look at the Geeky Furniture we covered before or the Geeky Coffee Table Designs that could really be a fit in at least one room in every home.

Janet Hansen: Giving Daft Punk, and other artists that Laser Look

7/5/2010

 
Picture
Janet Hansen lights artists for stage. No, not like that. She actually lights the artists themselves. Their entire bodies. The founder and Chief Fashion Engineer of Enlighted Designs, Inc, Janet’s sewn her lifelong passions for fashion, art, and technology together into spectacular lighted costumery that’s illuminated shows like Dancing with the Stars and laser-lined real-life Tron characters Daft Punk (like this and this). Still, says Janet, lighted clothing won’t necessarily be the fashion statement of the future. It will, however, always be the best way to knock your socks off. Your plain, lame, non-LED-encrusted socks.

The ever changing wall

22/3/2010

It’s 2010! Do you you think we can now move to a new level where we no longer need paint and wallpapers to decorate our walls? That is, if you opt to use this modern wall art designed by the incomparable Amirko. Called, “Change It”, you can actually change the color of your wall instantly from white to black to any color that you want, depending on your mood.You can also write or draw anything on your wall with this modern wall art. The modern wall art features square “pixels” that make up the wall. Each of the pixel is a triangle of 3 colors (white, black and a spot color). By turning each you can create a new design any time you wish. This is also a pretty cool option to have in an office if you have some extra space. You can have your walls redocated with different color everyday or put some text on it during special occasion or holidays. So you can have a whole new look at your place anytime you want.

When games become art

12/3/2010

 
Picture
We like a pretty picture just as much as the next Tom, Dick or Monet, but the art featured in the pixel exhibit – which opened to the public last night at GDC – is some of our favorite. You can experience the aesthetic splendor second-hand by checking out the gallery. See if you can identify the games each painting is based on! (Spoiler alert: You'll never, ever guess some of them. Not in a billion, trillion years.)

If you're not familiar with Munnys, they're customizable, collectible dolls created by Kidrobot, the cutting edge designer toy and apparel makers that are hot as hot cakes at IHOP!  All of Kidrobot's designs are produced in limited edition; the more famous the Kidrobot design collaborators, the more limited and the more expensive the item.  I'm sure the Munny Lightbotz, by lighting designer and artist Marcus Tremonto, are no exception. 

Here's are some of  the members of Tremento's collection, now selling at Kidrobot's Soho store.  Grab them if you can; they're destined to be classics! r
