A Couple Leaves their Jobs to Build a House of Windows in the Mountains of West Virginia

For their very first date, photographer Nick Olson took designer Lilah Horwitz on a walk in the mountains of West Virginia. While chatting and getting to know each other during a particularly scenic sunset the two jokingly wondered what it would be like to live in a house where the entire facade was windows, so the sunset would never be contained within a small space. Where most people would file the idea away as a dream or maybe an item at the bottom of a bucket list, the newly minted couple were a bit more aggressive. Less than a year later the two quit their jobs and embarked on a road trip starting in Pennsylvania to collect dozens of windows from garage sales and antique dealers. A few weeks later they arrived in West Virginia and built the glass cabin in the exact same spot where they envisioned it on their fist date.

Filmmakers Matt Glass and Jordan Wayne Long of Half Cut Tea caught up with Horwirz and Olson to learn more about the construction of the building and their unusually strong commitment to following through with their artistic visions.

Stylish Shoes Made Without Glue Or Stitching

by Sammy Medina

A shoe collection from Dutch designer Anna Korshun cuts down on wasteful materials and labor.

Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to create a breakthrough. Shoe designer Anna Korshun was originally trained in product design. But for her final student project at the Dutch Design Academy, she chose to venture into fashion and create a shoe collection. “I thought it was a challenging product,” says the young designer. The line grew into a full-fledged atelier, where Korshun has been developing an innovative technique for making shoes using a minimum of material and toxic glue.

The transition wasn’t smooth, as Korshun realized how different product design and fashion really were. The latter runs off an unhealthy diet of seasonal cycles and trends, she says, while the former tackles matters of user experience and sustainability. Korshun soon saw just how little the industry shares with her own training.

Concerning sustainable practices, most footwear enterprises implemented few, if any, instead operating on gross use of labor and material. “I visited factories in Europe where different types of shoes were produced,” Koshun tells Co.Design. “What I saw was that the shoes need a lot of different components: There is a LOT of glue, it needs stitching and it’s very labor intensive.”

That’s when she hatched her idea: To design footwear that was easy to assemble and made with sustainable materials. Her shoes are constructed with a “clicking technique” that uses zero glue or stitching and virtually nullifies intensive fabrication processes, though Korshun stresses that there is still assemblage work involved. (In other words, these aren’t "Ikea" shoes that you can buy and assemble yourself.) Her wares aren’t produced by professionals but by participants of Dutch Sociaal werkplaats, or social-working houses, where long-unemployed and mentally and physically disabled workers piece together the shoes.

Korshun explains that she derived the process from the Elastic Wood chair by Israeli designer Gil Sheffi, which consists of wood and elastic parts held at joints by hardened rubber and a few nuts and bolts. No glue or extensive joinery necessary. Adapting the same principles to her footwear, she separates the shoe into two chief components, the leather upper and insole fastened together by rubber. The latter is perforated with narrow holes that the upper hooks into; a mold filled with liquid rubber is applied to the bottom of the shoe and allowed to cure.

The nature of the slotting technique does have a few drawbacks, Korshun admits. “It’s not very easy to make a completely closed shoe. Like a winter version.” She is, however, currently hard at work at solving that problem and hopes to have boot models just in time for fall.

The shoes are available in sizes 37 to 41. Order them here for €129.

Self-taught chef Rhiannon over at Cakecrumbs has been working on a fun series of planetary cakes that are designed to be scientifically accurate with different types of cake representing various layers within Earth and Jupiter. For her Jupiter Cake the center is the theoretical rock/ice core (mudcake), followed by a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen (almond butter), and finally the liquid molecular hydrogen (colored vanilla). She layered her Earth Cake similarly and finished it off with some absurdly detailed continent design made with marshmallow fondant.

Due to high demand she just posted an extremely detailed tutorial including a video that explains how to make spherical concentric layer cakes. Which is now a thing. That I will have at my birthdays now and forever. (via I F’ing Love Science)
