Automotive design sublime



The Saab Aero X concept is the definition of fly. This two-seat siren boasts the sexiest shape ever seen on a Saab. The opening canopy is certainly a head turner, even if it may be a too-obvious attempt to play up the brand’s aircraft heritage.

Gehry wrist wrap



One of the worlds finest architects Frank Gehry designing jewelry? Wow beautiful stuff.

The formal functionality



Santiago Calatrava's 'Palau de les Arts' in Valencia... he did it again. He always blows my mind google him sometime and expand the space between your ears.

Sophisticated Minimalism.



A three-purpose sofa. Sit, relax, sleep. The superb seating comfort is primarily down to the backrest that can be individually positioned (short seat/low backrest or deep seat/higher backrest) and to Nozag seat springs. LOUNGE is attractive to look at from all sides and is an elegant centerpiece for any room. It converts easily to a single bed. Me like. http://www.apt-ny.com/furniture/lounge/description.htm

beauty & brands too


Can beauty be a brand? Ads are becoming more decadent in these days of the "attention gold rush" . As we "tivo" our lives and google our time away, just what are the "brands" up to? One company Arosci is branding beauty to catch you eye and heart. Can this ever work?

God is a junkie.

First post. I'll be brief. If design were a drug I would abuse it. If it were a car, I would be arrested for exceeding the speed limit. I am a design junkie. Everything is designed. God (if you choose to use that title) is the original designer and this creation is damn intelligent. But I believe the universe left intentional room for change. And so it goes, evolution, black holes, grass sprouts, people are born. Things change, nature adapts things move for the better and it's all by design. We as designers mimic the very nature of God and the is to create, innovate and bring about change. It is our calling and it is our curse. It is a blessed damnation and I accepted.
