Still crash

Unbelievable installation of broken glass. In the past the building functioned as a beggars Institute, a concentration camp, a prison and a mental hospital. The glass reflects all those changes. Art Baptiste Debombourg Exhibition ’Aérial’ untill May 20, 2012 at  Abbey Brauweiler, Pulheim, Germany

Electric stool

Gravity explored. These stools are pieces of art, as no two are alike. Liquid plastics are combined with kilos of iron (all calculated with absolute accuracy). The machine’s magnetic plates draw the material up to form the legs of the stool. It just takes five minutes to harden out. Each magnetic stool is strong enough to support 200 kilos. Art Jólan van der Wiel Via Yatzer

Undress the car
What a great project, being asked to really question a car, and not just by pimping it. BMW’s head of design Adrian van Hooydonk invited Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings for a fresh look at the iconic and fashionable Mini. They analyzed the car in a conceptual way, questioning every aspect of it, so to find the essence of every detail, like fluorescent bumpers that catch the eye immediately. The outer shell has a porcelain lacquer and is perforated to create an organic system of ventilation and to experience fragrance from the sides of the road, influencing and enhancing driving pleasure. Color One is on display at Salone del Mobile until April 28. Design Scholten & Baijings Via Trendtablet
