Ink Calendar by Oscar Diaz

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Genius. (And it looks amazing!)

"Ink Calendar" make use the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time.

The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are "printed" daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.

The ink colors are based on a spectrum, which relate to a “color temperature scale”, each month having a color related to our perception of the whether on that month. The colors range from dark blue in December to, three shades of green in spring or oranges, red in the summer.

The scale for measuring the “color temperature” that I have used is a standard called ‘D65’ and corresponds roughly to a midday sun in Western / Northern Europe.

The "Ink Calendar" was developed for “Gradual “, an exhibition featuring works, which were evolving during the exhibition time at the London Design Festival 2007.

Production: Self-production.
Specs: Ink on paper, various dimensions.
Exhibitions: "Gradual" 5, Crownwell Place, London Design Festival, 2007. (via Dezeen)

Din-ink Cutlery Pens by andrea cingoli + paolo emilio bellisario + cristian cellini + francesca fontana

First to recommend

Description

Two uses and eco-friendly.

Designer's* words from the site: Turn your favourite office tool from your desk in a common cutlery...this is din-ink. A set of pen caps, including a fork-cap, a knife-cap and a spoon-cap, that replaces the normal pen cap during lunch time! All caps are made by annually renewable resources, like natural starch and fibres, to be 100% biodegradable and atoxic, warranting the best alimentary use. Dispensing each set in a compostable packaging the whole set is designed to respect the environment. Now give your office ballpoint pen a good excuse to be gnawed by your teeth: use them for din-ink.

Perpetual Wall Calendar by Halm

First to recommend

Description

Do you think there are more of these out there?

Three Potato Four says, "We love the classic simplicity of this rare vintage 1970's German-designed plastic perpetual wall calendar and how the black and white typography brilliantly complement the bright vibrant orange color. Numbers and days of the week can be manually rotated to designate the proper day and date." (via freshome)

Lighting Scheme (Louvre Abu Dhabi) by Nouvel

First to recommend

Description

Could light be more amazing than this? This place looks like a fairy tale (a sophisticated fairy tale). The water must diffuse and reflect the light so nicely. What do you think happens in a storm? With holes in the ceiling and the building on water?

Added bonus: No lightbulbs necessary.

Do you think that they will make curtains (privacy without the darkness = light lightbulb usage) or outdoor umbrellas like this? (Hint, hint.) (via freshome)
