Clothing That Arranges the Body by Josh Rubin
Clothing That Arranges the Body is British industrial designer Hannah Perner-Wilson's attempt to reconcile with our attachments to gadgets, calling attention to the way our minds and bodies relate to electronic devices. "I find myself drawn towards the ways in which objects, whether of material nature or data, convey their content," she says. In this first prototype jacket, Hannah created five pockets for gadgets that all are connected to a flow of electricity that travels through magnetic fastenings.

Ma Ke: Wu Yong collection
Finding some CH subjects recently nominated for the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year award in London was exciting, but several of the other 100 projects were equally inspiring. There were many new discoveries and we thought you'd enjoy seeing some of our favorites. First up is the extraordinary Chinese fashion designer Ma Ke who is nominated for her "Wu Yong" collection, which launched...

Royal College of Art Summer Show 2006

Doodle Dudes Andrew Haythornthwaite's Doodle Dudes gives the characters that children create in their drawings a 3-d life by using rapid prototyping to print their drawings in 3 dimensions.

Hulgerisation
Hulger approached St. Martin's design students about applying their thinking towards technology on a variety of products. While some of it falls into the "Design Student" vortex, some of it's actually pretty interesting. My favorites were the wind-up lamp and Ben Raemer's Crop Camera (pictured), which makes the photoshop tool into a physical camera allowing infinite aspect adjustment. View them all at Hulgerisation.

Flocks
Sweaters made by Flocks, the brainchild of Dutch fashion designer Christien Meindertma are exciting to me for a multitude of reasons. Here are two. First, my father is Dutch and I’m always excited to meet people with obtuse Dutch names doing obtuse things with their lives. Second, in my undergraduate years, I studied agricultural journalism and worked for the World Dairy Expo. In the...

The Pyramids of Makkum
For years, Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the Netherlands' longest extant company, has quietly mounted the most impressive displays of ceramic ware during the Milan Furniture Fair and this year is no exception. Two years ago, they released a hugely successful collection of biscuit ware with Studio Job; last year they launched a unique office collection with Dick van Hoff, which turned the ornamental into the...

Hidebumi Yamaguchi: IMAnoWa
With all the press and buyers swarming around Milan's Salone del Mobile, I was so happy to wander into a seemingly inauspicious exhibition called "Shapes of Japanese Style." The group show was tucked into the gallery's basement and, like many exhibits of its kind, felt a little thin. That was until my eyes landed on Hidebumi Yamaguchi's IMAnoWa collection. The concept, to encourage users...
