Hella Jongerius: Layers by SummerSeventySix
I'd love to see this work (titled Bedstee) from Dutch designer Hella Jongerius go into production. On show in Miami last week at a small satellite exhibition from New York's Moss Gallery, it's part of a textiles series called Layers. It comes across like a room within a room, almost like a child's multi-functional bunk bed, but beautifully crafted from blond wood and heavily embroidered cloth. There's even a fabric candlestick.
More pictures here.

The collection consisted of two components. The charming Dutch designer Pieke Bergmans worked with Sabah for several months, traveling throughout the Middle East, in selecting indigenous furnishings to which she later, back in The Netherlands, applied her viral forms of...

Christopher Chiappa
Christopher Chiappa produces artwork both visceral and subversive. In his studio, an ever-growing blob of solidified expanding foam consumes a Weber grill. The mass is riddled with a fury of knives fashioned from masonite, as if to kill off the uncontrollable beast. The piece has taken on a life of its own. Indeed, one of Chiappa's greatest strengths as an artist lies in his...

Marcel Wanders: Mondrian South Beath Hotel Residences
by Tamara Warren It takes a fairytale to capture the imagination in Miami's over-blown hotel district.

Joris Laarman's Bone Chair
Debuted earlier this month during the Art Basel Miami Beach events, Joris Laarman's Bone chair takes its inspiration from the efficient way that bones grow (adding material where strength is needed and taking away material where it's unnecessary). Made using a digital tool developed by GM that copies these methods of construction, Laarman says the ironic result of his biomimetic technique is "an almost...

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. AL-gorithm, by Alex Kauffmann Alex Kauffmann, the artist behind AL-gorithm,...
