Pod à porter is the easiest way to wear your music – even if you’re not wearing much. No more headphones dangling by your knees; no more ripping the buds from your ears when you take off your jacket. As mp3-players got smaller, until they practically had no controls on them anymore – especially in the case of the iPod shuffle – I always wondered if the archetype had stayed behind a little, only getting smaller. I thought that what you need is just the earbuds, and a simple shape to keep them on your body – just like glasses are nothing more then an elegant way to keep lenses near your eyes. The result is this iPod shuffle accessory. Precision manufactured from 3D printed polyamide, Pod à porter is ultralight and has a velvet-like surface finish. It fits the iPod shuffle 3d generation, leaving all controls accessible. For sale, starting around $27, including shipping cost here !

Description originale

The Marcus Beach house celebrates a natural, coastal setting providing its occupants with an inextricable relationship to the landscape and sensitive surrounding environment. The dwelling explores lightness, filtering natural breezes, layers of transparency and integrating indoor / outdoor spaces within dynamic patterns of light and shadow, being a simple frame to enable a contemporary sustainable lifestyle to unfold. Whilst feeling like a ‘beach house’ sited 250 meters away from Marcus Beach, the basic ‘pavilion’ plan was sketched out in the sand during an early site visit: a simple diagram of two pavilions placed either side of a venerable 100 year old Morton Bay Ash that takes centre stage to the scale, proportions and life of the house around it. The pavilions sit lightly on the site and are linked by a transparent bridge in an arrangement that opens all the spaces to the light, breeze and garden views of the north. The garden is protected by a perimeter wall wrapped in endemic vines providing an acoustic ‘green’ buffer to a nearby busy road.

On approach from the street, the sloping terrain naturally guides an axial timber boardwalk under a simple timber pergola structure arriving in the courtyard opposite the Morton Bay Ash. The main pavilion to the west accommodates living spaces focused around a double height deck space overlooking the swimming pool and northern garden. The Master Bedroom suite is accessed via a polycarbonate clad stair tower that is by day a contemplative space and by night, a lantern. The Morton Bay Ash casts shadows onto the polycarbonate further animating the edges of the courtyard and bringing the landscape inside the house. The recent additions of a study ‘pop out,’ enclosed passage link below the bridge, Laundry and Powder room further animate the edges of the courtyard space whilst responding to the needs of its new occupants.

The house is open and light and possesses simple sustainable design principles to passively defend the occupants from the elements. Windows and doors are strategically positioned to capture the prevailing breezes whilst roof overhangs are generous protecting the house from direct summer sunlight. Air conditioning has not been installed in the Marcus Beach House nor is it desired. Artificial lighting is kept to a minimum due to the generous amount and position of glazing, particularly facing north. The roof over the Master Bedroom pavilion rises to the north providing a band of high level, operable, clerestory glazing capturing daylight and allowing any warm air to escape, setting up an effective ‘stack effect’ natural cooling process. The connection between the deck and living spaces is dynamic and direct. As the heart of the house, the covered double height outdoor room is actively used all year round as dappled sunlight is filtered through a timber batten screen hung below the roof structure. Indoor and outdoor realms are connected through an interlocking series of alcoves and nooks like a low edge deck seat and reading nook pop-out located off the stair landing. The courtyard and Morton Bay Ash are a focal point in which almost all rooms within the dwelling enjoy a connection.

Description originale

The concept is designed to fit into the company’s image and appeal. The aim is to bring the essence of Wally onto the land and offer an exclusive user experience. The design uses the Wally’s trademark futuristic form language with sharp edges, black glass surfaces and hi-tech grey tones. The side profile was developed taking inspiration from the character lines of the Wally Power 118. The interior makes extensive use of carbon fiber and teak, two materials widely adopted on the Wally’s yachts. The car has been designed taking into consideration the brand’s other products – such as skis – so that it fits into Wally’s existing range and customer profile.

As a contribution to this year’s State of Design Festival, Edwards Moore designed and constructed a set of bar stools for a popular city venue made entirely from reclaimed materials. They used discarded timber off cuts from a variety of sources to create the structure, bound together using an industrial ratchet. The top was then sanded and finished with linseed oil, putty and wax to create a smooth surface.

Kök is a flat pack chair that takes its roots from traditional blue chair, which is common to Mediterranean and Aegean culture. It avoids complicated manufacturing process so that it can be produced in small workshops, actually by anyone who has a CNC machine. Neither adhesives nor joint elements have been used to simplify the manufacturing process and protect purity of color and material of the product. Project was exhibited in 2010 imm Cologne Fair, Germany.

Messagers envoyés par la nature pour montrer aux citadins qu’elle reprendra ses droits tant qu’elle pourra, mais qu’elle aura pour cela de plus en plus besoin de leur aide et de leur bienveillance, ces sculptures biomorphiques fabriquées à partir de chutes d’aluminium d’entreprises de la région stéphanoise sont en effet porteuses d’un message écologique simple et direct, d’autant plus fort s’il est reçu au quotidien par les citadins. Qu’on se le dise : le beau fait du bien. Message reçu, on l’espère, par les collectivités locales …
