Adidas Liquid story :Milan 09

-
Apparently adidas bought that sweet concept from his creator (FELICE LIMOSANI), nevertheless, it is super impressive to see it in real .. by applying different intensity to a charged liquid , a soft sculture is created that can evolve in time.. insane.


Other artist using the ferrofluid are Sachiko Kodama or Shawn Knol

Milano 09 :senseware exposition

-this year at the Milan furniture fair you could see at the triennale an exhibition called senseware

this installation appear to breath , the material is formed by extrusion to leave air between fibers, it is like polyester , its elastic and extra durable, can be used as cushioning..
this installation is just made to l illustrate the propriety of this new material, i saw that in Milan at the triennale in 09


created by Hirro Iwata , the robot tiles incorporate sensors using electrically-conductive textiles .it basically detect foot position by conveying informations about where pressure has been applied .. sweeet .


mist bench , optical fiber that respond to movement , well it's in the title, the only thing is there is sensor in front of the bench that feel the user, and compare to other optical fiber this one can glow by gradient , by knitting thos fiber , gwenael nicolas created a unique and soft experience..



this awesome installation is made of tiny little needle , on top of a water resistant surface , this process is able to create words or graphic, when the drop is heavy enough it just fall down.. super nice.

Diesel successful living furniture launch party at the diesel Penthouse

- The Diesel Brand together with Moroso and Foscarini presented during the Salone Del Mobile at the Diesel Penthouse a collection of sexy pieces of furnitures and lighting.I really liked the raw quality of some of the pieces.

The collection is pretty simple in form but efficient in style with the use of complex print and patterns or surface details, bringing the succesfull design language of Diesel to the world of furnitures .from extra large couch , to ultra washed out wood chairs ,they also designed some pretty smart and good looking lighting pieces, a nice collection overall.

During the launch ,i had the occasion to meet and shake Renzo Rosso's hand and spend an insane moment at the diesel Penthouse , featuring Dj, live concert, outdoor patio..
The exhibition and event details like the Patio tents or the Bed Dj booth has been realized by a company called Wink, based in netherland,which apparently work a lot with the diesel brand , and also many more.
