ICFF Preview: De Makers Van
(06 May 2005) - Jeroen Verhoeven, Judith de Graauw and Joep Verhoeven started Studio De Makers Van after graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven (Netherlands). Their primary intent seems to be taking common materials and re-visualizing them in innovative ways. Word is that they'll have some stuff at ICFF next week, so I'm definitely going to keep a look out for them. There are a few more pictures...
Living in a Box
(07 April 2005) - Last year, German design firm Transalpin conceived a way to pass electricity through wood and named it Wood.e. The 12V current doesn't actually pass though the wood; there's conductive material layered in to the plywood.

Nokia 2650
(14 June 2004) - Nokia announced 5 new phones today. Gizmodo has all the details. Overall, I'm not super impressed. They are doing a couple interesting things with materials, but the new clamshell designs are just kind of blah. I do really like the hinge on the 2650 (above). It almost looks like it disappears when the handset is open-- that's pretty cool. It's a very rare occasion...
