An Industrial Designer's More-Convenient Bike Storage Solution
Most in-garage bicycle storage solutions are fixed: You have a hook you hang it from, or maybe a pulley system to get the bike out of the way. Installing one of these requires commitment, with you effectively dedicating the space, which may be in short supply, to the bike.
In contrast this Flip object, by British industrial designer George Laight, offers the convenience of a rack with the added benefit of portability.
The bike can be stored vertically, saving space, and the entire thing can be wheeled around, making garage clean-ups and reorganizing sessions easy.

Japanese Overdesign: Karimoku's Gorgeous Oak Coat Hanger
This exquisitely-crafted Oak coat hanger is by Japanese furniture manufacturer Karimoku. They've applied the same level of attention to it as one of their chair legs. The result is an almost absurdly overdesigned, overcrafted object that I badly want to touch.
In particular I wish there was a close-up shot of the joint; the transition to the "neck" of the hanger appears to have been masterfully executed.
"This hanger, characterized by its straight lines that slope down to both edges, was achieved through repeated testing and adjustment of the appropriate hanger angle, as well as...
Jonas sauna by Celsium Wellness
Dezeen Showroom: elegant charred timber clads the exterior of the Jonas sauna, designed by Lithuanian company Celsium Wellness to bring a quiet architectural retreat to outdoor spaces.
Combining the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method of wood preservation with Scandinavian styling, the Jonas sauna has a simple cubic form and a minimalistic feel.
The Jonas sauna is clad in charred timberCelsium Wellness describes it as sitting calmly in the landscape, "appearing almost as a shadow between the trees", and having a monolithic presence while being space-efficient.
On the inside, the cool exterior gives way to warm aspen timber cladding, with integrated benches, soft lighting...
Non-Traditional Office Furniture Seating Designs Spread to China
When designing a chair, the general rule is that the seat should provide more surface area than your ass. However, we've seen plenty of designs bucking this trend over the years. Like the stacking Sitzbock Pommel Horse:
Steelcase's nesting Flex Perch stool:
Estudio Sancal's folding Perigallo:
Konstantin Grcic's THING_01:
ID firm Pearson Lloyd's "Café Classroom:"
Now Chinese furniture manufacturer Beite is getting in on the action. Their Kylinc system borrows pretty liberally from Pearson Lloyd's designs, and adds—unwisely, I think—power.
I think the...

Пара мыслей из последнего «Ток-шоу» Грубера
В выпуске 439 меня зацепили две мысли. Там снова обсуждали проблемы с дизайном Мака и ролью Алана Дая в ней.
В начале шла речь об отношении к указаниям на ошибки. Если для тебя хороший дизайн — дело чести, то когда тебе указывают на ошибку в твоём дизайне, ты принимаешь это с благодарностью и исправляешь. Когда решение найденной проблемы не очевидно, то найти новое решение — интересный вызов. Но если для тебя это «просто работа», то каждое указание на ошибку вызывает тоску (опять переделывать) и раздражение (чё прикопался). Со стороны того, кто указывает на ошибку, тоже всегда ощущается, как адресат это воспримет: с благодарностью или с раздражением. И когда знаешь, что с раздражением, то лишний раз не захочешь указывать. Грубер приводит аналогию с тем, когда ему указывают на опечатки и неудачные формулировки в его...
