Moving Origami Lamps by Umut Yamac

by Andrius

It’s pretty hard to surprise someone with a lampshade these days, but London-based architect and designer Umut Yamac managed to pull it off with this intricate origami bird light.

The installation you’ll see below is called the Perch Light Family. It’s a continuation of designer’s project from 2014 when he made 20 of these birds. Now he has put them in this chandelier-like installation for Moori that launched at Salone del Mobile in Milan.

Besides spelling C-L-A-S-S-Y in capital letters, these birds also do a neat trick – they swing in the wind. And thanks to some clever engineering it’s achieved with no disruptions to the light.

Una impresora 3D barata, $199 dólares

by wpadmin

the micro 04 the micro 05 the micro 03 the micro 02 the micro 01 the micro 06

Parece ser que el futuro de la impresión 3D esta cada vez mas cerca del consumidor final; la empresa M3D LLC el día de ayer lanzó una campaña en Kickstarter donde presentaron una impresora 3D llamada “The Micro” enfocada al consumidor final cuyo costo es de $199 dólares. Este proyecto fue sumamente popular y lograron fondearlo en tan solo 11 minutos, el proyecto necesitaba 50 mil dólares para ser una realidad, actualmente tiene mas de 1 millón de dólares.

La verdad se antoja tener una de estas impresoras, aunque creo que habrá que esperar todavía un poco mas a que se popularicen y haya varias opciones en el mercado. Les recomiendo que vean el proyecto completo donde vienen explicadas a detalle todas las capacidades de esta máquina.

Living Clay: Johnson Tsang Brings Life To The Most Mundane Pottery Objects

by Audra

Honk Kong-based artist Johnson Cheung-shing, better known as Johnson Tsang, brings to life one of the most solid fields of art – ceramics.  His highly dynamic pottery combines the traditional crockery, such as cups, bowls and plates, together with very lively parts of human figures, mainly faces. And this is not all. The final spice, defining the unique taste of Tsang’s creations, are the watery splashes, running through the whole work and knitting the contrasting pieces together.

His solo exhibition in Yingge Ceramics Museum, Taiwan, will run until 19th January, 2014.

Friskies reúne a los gatos más famosos de Internet para su anuncio navideño

by huss87

¡Ríete tú del casting de famosos del anuncio de la Lotería de la Navidad! Y es que Friskies ha decidido reunir para su spot navideño a 5 de los gatos más famosos de la red: Colonel Meow, Nala Cat, Oskar, el gato ciego (a este no lo conocía y he flipado mucho con él), Hamilton, el gato hipster (soy muy fan de su bigote) y, por supuesto, el inigualable y famoso en el mundo entero Grumpy Cat.

“Hard to be a cat in Christmas” es el título de la canción que pone banda sonora al anuncio, que se ha realizado por una buena causa ya que se comprometían a donar una lata de comida por cada visualización del vídeo a diferentes asociaciones de recogida de animales. El límite lo pusieron en 500.000, pero el vídeo en una semana se acerca ya a los dos millones de visualizaciones.

He de decir que, aunque me encanten los gatos, tratándose de una marca como Friskies, la calidad podría haber sido mucho mejor (el resultado, sobre todo de la imagen, es bastante amateur), ¿no creéis?

Grumpy Cat Starred In Disney Once And It Was Awful

by Tom

American digital artist Eric Proctor (a.k.a Tsaoshin) merges two completely incompatible worlds together by placing the ever so hateful Grumpy Cat into classic Disney movie scenes. Using his new Wacom Tablet and Photoshop, Tsaoshin turns the Grumpy Cat into the main characters of the most popular modern fairy tales, and draws some pretty hilarious reactions from the other characters in each scene. As a result, you get the Beast completely taken aback by finding Grumpy Cat instead of Bella, or Aladin, who was obviously hoping for a more romantic carpet ride.

Artist Shows What Disney Princesses’ Happily-Ever-Afters Really Look Like

by Ieva

The one thing you could be sure about in childhood was that every fairy tale would end with a “happily ever after”. But what if we were to continue on with what happened to the beautiful princesses after we closed the last book page? Photographer Dina Goldstein imagines what lives of the Disney princesses turned out to be if we left all the fairy tale luck and charm aside. “I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues,” says Dina. “With limited funds, I began to assemble my series.” The Fallen Princesses series also comes in a book!

Miniature Crocheted Animals by Su Ami

by Ieva

Su Ami, a family run business from Vietnam, creates beautiful and cute crocheted animals, some of which measure only 1/4 of an inch! The little manufacture consists of 5 crocheters and is named after the nick name of the youngest member of the family, whose love for movie characters and various animals gave the idea for the business. The tiny creations are incredibly detailed, with whales actually spitting water out of their backs and macro-sized penguins wearing differently colored scarves. Wonder what the creation process looks like!

¿Serías capaz de aguantar la mirada 60 minutos para ganar un Samsung Galaxy S4?

by huss87

A las marcas les gusta eso de plantearles retos a los consumidores. Es una forma de jugar e interactuar con ellos, consiguiendo unos resultados bastante buenos. Hoy os queremos hablar de esta acción de Samsung en la que instaló una marquesina en varias ciudades de Suiza en los que la gente debían mirar fijamente un Samsung Galaxy 4 durante 60 minutos para ganar uno de estos smartphones.

Una forma divertida de demostrar una de las nuevas características del terminal, y es que este teléfono inteligente es capaz de detectar cuando lo estás mirando y cuándo levantas la mirada para mirar hacia otro lado. La prueba se iba complicando conforme pasaba el tiempo y los participantes tenían que lidiar, manteniendo sus ojos clavados en el Galaxy S4, con situaciones tan pintorescas como un señor tocando la guitarra, un motorista alocado, un hombre ardiendo o una pareja discutiendo. ¡Grande, Samsung!

Most desk supplies are made of hard cold materials like plastic or metal. Add a touch of softness and warmth to your work area with these plush desk supplies from the oddly specific Cool Pencil Case store. There’s the Totoro mouse pad featuring the title character from the movie My Neighbor Totoro Plush Desk Supplies (featuring Dakota Fanning in the English version!) The pen holder is Catbus (from the same movie). Even if you’re not familiar with the film (originally from Japan), they still make really cute desktop accessories and a nice break from your standard lifeless office supplies.
