Get ‘H.A.P.P.Y’ with Liz West’s Immersive Installation Made of More Than 700 Colorful Discs
Spanning nearly the entire floor of the main space of Mercer Art Gallery in Harrogate, Liz West’s expansive new installation invites viewers to revel in color and brightness. The artist has reimagined the historic early-19th-century spa promenade room as a vibrant, sensory immersion.
West’s solo exhibition, H.A.P.P.Y, takes inspiration from a common malady known as seasonal affective disorder, or S.A.D., which is a form of depression that often manifests in the fall or winter when the days are shorter and the temperatures drop. It typically recedes in the summer and spring.
Continuing her interest in the effects of light, reflections, and chromatic...
In Texas, a 3D-Printed Starbucks
This month Starbucks is opening their first 3D-printed storefront. Sited in Brownsville, Texas, the structure is by German 3D printing construction company Peri 3D.
As with a lot of 3D-printed construction projects we've seen lately, this seems to be more about novelty than the cost-savings that was once promised for 3D-printed construction. The building was erected at an estimated cost of $1.1 million. That said, it was built quickly; the shell was printed in under a week.
The strange part is, no customer will ever get to set foot inside of it. The...
"Biohybrid" robots controlled by mushrooms move in response to light
Cornell researchers have developed a pair of small robots powered by mycelium designed for use in agriculture and space exploration.
The researchers, led by Anand Mishra, a professor at Cornell Engineering, discovered a way to grow mycelium into the electronics of a robot.
They then powered the robots by harnessing the fungi's innate electrical signals.
The resulting "biohybrid" robot can sense and respond to the environment better than a fully synthetic counterpart.
Cornell researchers have developed a robot that can be controlled by mushrooms"You could say that mycelium bridges the natural ecosystem and the engineering world, serving as a living interface that connects...

1970s Italian Design Classic: Angelo Mangiarotti's Molla Lamps
Angelo Mangiarotti, a 20th-century Italian architect and industrial designer, liked industrial materials and had a sense of humor. Both are embodied in these Molla lamps, designed in 1974.
The construction of the Slinky-like lamp couldn't be simpler: It consists of little more than a spring ("molla," in Italian) and an E27 socket. I bet shipping them was easy.
The pieces were in production by Italian lighting manufacturer Candle.
Hundreds of Huge Flowers Spring Forth in Carly Glovinski’s Monumental ‘Almanac’
“Gardening gives one back a sense of proportion about everything—except itself,” author May Sarton (1912-1995) wrote in her book Plant Dreaming Deep (1968), a journal about discovering a love of tending to the land. For Carly Glovinski (previously), the sentiment incidentally frames something of a raison d’être for the artist’s remarkable large-scale floral installation at MASS MoCA.
Glovinski was especially moved by Sarton’s book The House by the Sea (1977), which traces the author’s move from New Hampshire to the seacoast of Maine. The vibrancy of gardens spurred the artist’s fascination with flowers, culminating recently in an expansive work titled “Almanac.”...
Basic Geometric Forms in This Sunset-Inspired Table Lamp
This beautiful Horizon Table Light is by Brooklyn-based industrial designer Louis Filosa.
Two basic shapes and the judicious use of negative space create a pleasing form that draws the eye.
Its form inspired by the setting sun, the LED lamp has a warm temperature of 2700K and is, appropriately, dimmable.
The Horizon is in production by lighting manufacturer Gantri, who makes their products from non-GMO sugarcane-based polymers.

Lightweight Stone-Like Furniture by Karim Rashid and Zachary A. Design
These Polli monolithic outdoor furniture pieces were designed by Karim Rashid and Zachary A. Design, a Chicago-based manufacturer of sculptural furniture.
The Polli line appears to be made out of stone, but they're actually a proprietary blend of resin, stone aggregate and fiberglass; company founder Zachary Bitner, a furniture designer and SCAD grad, began experimenting with the mixture in the 2000s. The resultant pieces are all-season weatherproof and, unlike stone or concrete, lightweight enough that the pieces are easy to move.
The apostrophe-shaped backless version weighs 27 pounds, and the backed...
