hoLAnda 2005 by Ami Kealoha
It might seem like the current focus of everyone's attention is on Art Basel, but across the Atlantic, the second bi-annual exhibition of Latin American design, hoLAnda, runs through 4 December in Amsterdam. Held in the restored Posthoorn church and organized by the Amsterdam-based Latin American Design Foundation the main event includes premiere designers like Mexico-based Bala Studio's Jetson-esque funerary urn (pictured, above right) and Brazilian Carla Tannenbaum whose kinetic spirals (pictured, above center) took home prizes in hoLAnda 2003 and in UNESCO's design competition. An emphasis on social projects brings in Pintando Pasos, Converse hand-decorated by craftsmen in Oaxaca, Mexico and the Brazilian collective Escama's bags made out of recycled aluminum pull tabs.

Analog and Digital Collide in a Burst of Text and LEDs at the ITP Spring 2009 Show
Twice each year students from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) exhibit their final projects. Ranging between artistic and commercial, conceptual and pragmatic, the work is always inspirational. With every show there seems to be an emergent theme—this year's collision of analog and digital isn't unprecedented, but does deliver new interpretations to get excited about.

Watermelon-Inspired Design
A few cheeky watermelon-themed products we happened upon recently got us thinking about the summer fruit as a source of design inspiration. While George Nelson's iconic modernist clock ($335 from Pure Modern) is a restrained nod to the melon's oblong shape, most of what's out there appeals to the pink, black and green colorway and the contrast of the exterior rind to the flesh....
