July 17, 2007 'Meeraboo-2007 ST-1', a new side table by Victor Vetterlein. Press Release: The ‘Meeraboo-2007 ST-1’ side table, with its built in light source and storage compartment, explores the notion of integrated systems where the design components having contradicting qualities. For the ‘Meeraboo-2007 ST-1’ side table, there is a dichotomy between the curvilinear lower portion of the table, and the hard edge linear shape of the tabletop. Reminiscent of the hermit crab that takes possession of abandoned items on the ocean floor for camouflage and protection, the organic lower portion of the side table appears to be clinging to the underside of the table. A vertical vent stack protruding through the tabletop plane suggests reconfiguration and adaptation to the new union. What were once two very different objects has merged into a unified entity. There is a quality about the ‘Meeraboo-2007 ST-1’ side table that seems intelligent and mobile. One can imagine the table re-adjusting itself for better positioning upon a voice-activated command. It is highly probable in the future that as technology advances the mechanical and bulky aspects of robotics will disappear, and intelligent systems will have more streamlined organic forms. The ‘Meeraboo-2007 ST-1’ side table is designed to be adjacent to an entry doorway. The built in light source illuminates a golden orb that in turn baths the entry with a warm glow. The orb also serves as a storage compartment for precious items such as keys, wallets, and jewelry. The table is 36” high, 36” wide, and 12” deep. The material composition is fiberglass, wood, and metal with a high gloss white finish. The interior of the orb is finished in high gloss gold lacquer, and this carries through the vent stack where golden light casts an ellipse on the ceiling of a room. Two new pieces for the ‘Meeraboo-2007 Collection’ are currently in the prototype phase and under development. The 'Meeraboo-2007 FL-1' floor lamp will be launched around September 1, 2007, and the 'Meeraboo-2007 LC-1' lounge chair will be launched around November 1, 2007.

屏幕或是屏风沙发

wallfa是由“英伦年度十大年轻设计师”之一的Jordi Canudas在已经结束的皇家艺术学院夏季展发布的作品。wallfa是一个耐人寻味的家居作品,有点象古代屏风结合现代沙发的怪胎;不分正反面,两边各自成一体;当然人与人间的互动并不会打扰周围的人们,反而感觉很自然、闲情逸致¦Eric认为这绝对是约MM聊天的good case...(via)
时刻准备着
July 23, 2007 22:53]

“时刻准备着,为.......”一句大家耳熟能详的口号,嫁接到Yumekobo设计的Yamanote Alarm Clock身上似乎再好不过。Yamanote Alarm Clock标识有Yamanote train line(环绕东京市中心的线路,也称为山手线) 上所有地铁列车的停靠站点,并依照该路线的行车时刻表设定时间;一有列车到站,时钟指针也将指向某个站定名称,最大程度让乘坐该路线地铁的上班一族把握好乘车时刻,而不至于晚点;十分人性化的设计;再返过来说Eric认为作为铁路大国的我们是不是也有借鉴的地方?(via)

拯救于水火之中

巴西CVV预防自杀中心刊登圣保罗市中心的公益平面作品,大意是希望人们应该勇于从压力和困难中解脱拯救自己,自暴自弃甚至毁灭自己是最愚蠢的行为,引人深思....(via)
PS:Eric建议大家阅读后现代乐园
之余,多到户外锻炼,以下列举一些副作用....引起电脑眼病的四要素
1、视觉疲劳: 操作者眼睛在视屏、文件和键盘之间频繁移动,双眼不断地在各视点及视距间频敏调节,加上视屏的闪烁、反光和眩目造成视觉疲劳;
2、精神紧张和神经失调: 电脑作业是一项脑、眼、手密切配合的工作,具有紧张的脑力劳动和复杂的手工操作的共同特点,久而久之,导致精神高度紧张和神经失调;
3、眼自洁能力减弱: 眨眼次数只及平时的确1/3,因而减少了眼内润滑剂和酶的分泌。
电脑对肢体的损伤
除了对视力损伤极大以外,长时间使用电脑对我们的肢体同样有着不小的影响,这些影响会引发出各类行行色色的疾病,如果不加以重视的话,会给你的生活带来诸多不便。 电脑如何危害健康 电脑在工作时确实会形成微弱的电磁场,但长期接触是否会致癌或对人体有害还没有定论。有一些学者认为,这种电磁场可能致癌。电脑所造成的电磁场是散射性的,一个电脑操作员除了自己的电脑之外,还会受到周围其他电脑的影响。 据美国研究报告显示,怀孕妇女若每周在电脑前工作超过20个小时,她在前三个月流产的机率是其他人的2倍。因此,孕妇在怀孕期间应避免接近电脑。此外,彩色电脑的电磁场是黑白电脑的3-4倍。那么,电脑对人体可能造成的危害到底有多大呢? 国内外的新闻媒体曾多次报导电脑荧光屏导致工作人员发生流产、畸胎、面部皮疹、白内障及光敏癫痫等症,但经过流行病学统计分析不能证实这种结论,世界卫生组织专家小组也持这种意见。 电脑对心理的影响 除了身体上的这些影响外,长时间的电脑使用还会造成一部分心理疾病,在国外就曾出现过由于长时间使用电脑而突然发疯的事例,尤其现在网络的发展迅速,许多年轻人每日沉迷在网聊网恋中,一旦达到无法自拔的状况,便更加容易引发心理疾病,
真正的“车模”?
July 22, 2007 23:17]

一般说来,“车模”既可以指车展模特也可以指代汽车模型,今天后现代乐园
的Eric带给大家这位特殊“车模”可是兼具两者之名,为何?首先这辆小车本身就充当模特展示的作用,再者它身上摆放成千上万(夸张)的小汽车模型,酷似汽车模型集中营;这是英国艺术家兼玩具店老板james ford的作品,总共用了约2000架小汽车模型,令人叹为观止,当然你还觉得不过瘾,可以看看之前报道过的“强悍的冰车”...(via)
