Outside of Sorts: Call for Submissions by Ami Kealoha
When I ran into jewelry and furniture designer Kiel Mead this weekend at The Future Perfect, he told me about his latest project, The American Design Club. With the sole purpose of putting on regular exhibits, Kiel's taking his passion for design and his links to the Brooklyn design scene to further the cause of American design. It picks up a thread he and I discussed earlier this year (when shooting our video on him) and is an idea that we couldn't get behind more.
The inaugural show takes on the theme of "outside" and the Club's currently accepting submissions. To apply email info [at] americandesignclub [dot] com. The deadline is 27 August 2008.

Cap Spray Can Nozzle Stool

The plastic stool is a tribute to prominent graffiti personalities and modeled after a standard spray can nozzle, but enlarged to a scale which also makes for a functional seat. It was thought up by Swedish design duo Don't Feed The Swedes, and will...

The green-minded company utilizes a innovative tool-free assembly system that relies on interlocking aluminum pieces rather than nuts, bolts and screws, allowing for construction of the brand's modern-looking Bamba chair in a matter of minutes—a godsend for the Ikea-weary. In addition...

With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...
