Intel North Cape :A detachable Tablet done Right.

Windows 8 crosses the boundaries from traditional desktop computing to mobile touch user experience. Intel’s latest Fourth Gen Intel® Core™ Processor supports both the high performance requirements of traditional PC experience and the low power and weight requirements of mobile touch applications.

 Intel and ARTEFACT embarked on a journey to build “North Cape,” a premium consumer-focused 13” convertible computer, whose ingenious features and capabilities would illustrate the potential of detachable tablets in the future of home computing. The focus of the project was to optimize the device both for touch and productivity, without adding cumbersome mechanisms or interactions. Our ultimate goal was to enable a seamless transition between the modes, in order to create a truly differentiated experience.

Juicebox by Artefact

-Juice Box is an open energy system concept that allows people to capture energy from multiple sources, store and transport it to where it is needed, and power devices even in the remotest locations. Designed to be flexible, Juice Box supports multiple energy sources—from the electrical grid, to solar, car battery, or even kinetic. It is our vision for a simple device that gives people, regardless of where they live, safe and reliable access to much-needed electrical power.

Minus8 by Dana Krieger ( Astro)

-“Time is a gradient and we use timepieces to slice that gradient into meaningful increments”

The name refers to the UTC -8 time zone of the West Coast of the USA.
The process of anodizing aluminum and metal-finishing inspired Krieger to produce these incredibly eye catching pieces of art . The gradient effect of each 8 layers of MINUS 8 is created by layering gradually more intensely-colored discs of anodized metal, the anodizing process is also a reference to time as the color intensity as a direct relationship with the time you spend anodizing it.
Another process PVD has been explored to create the grey version :
"Further research showed that Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) was another industrial coating process with inherent time dependencies. A raw stainless piece is placed in a vacuum chamber where a hard coating accumulates over time. More time in the chamber produces a thicker coating and a more opaque color."

Apparently he's working on making prototypes right now, stay tuned.

The fantastic work of Ionna Vautrin

-Randomly wondering about the designer of the latest lamp for foscarini called Binic, i rapidly discovered that "A LOT" of my favorite pieces of design were actually designed by the same designer : Ionna Vautrin ...
From my early love with Industreal and the "pour ma retraite" piggy bank to the Panier percé designed in 2005 or later 2006; the Vases texturés edited by Indutreal , the Glass and porcelain vases for the Fabbrica del vapore in 2008, all those projects have been realized in collaboration with Guillaume Delvigne .I even remember that Palm leaf woven pair of shoes in 2003, the Palm Shoes , all of those have definitely influenced choices and created a calm, yet rich aesthetic that i'm really appreciating.
I'm glad i finally found this designer portfolio and will definitely follow her in the future.
Great work there.
