Otake House by Suppose Design Office.










This solar design house in Otake, Japan, was designed by Suppose Design Office. It’s amazing how they can open up the living room, it becomes one space with the terrace. I’m not really sure about the exhibitionistic bathroom though.

WALTER KNOLL CIRCLE SOFA





Product description:

Circle is made up of four parts - two of its parts making up a semicircle, all of them creating the round sculpture. The slope of the back and the seating area make up an unbroken flow from sitting upright to lying in relaxation. The height is the only thing that remains constant. The closed or the open circle, consisting of only three parts, allowing access, creates its own space: seating in the inner circle. Change the configuration and the design allows one to sit on the outside: seating in the outer circle. The connection of convex and concave shapes results in sweeping sculptures.

By designer Ben van Berkel.

A bunch of trips to the wayback machine
for me on this one -- most shockingly the remembrance of my Amiga 1000. Wow.

SDCC 09: Ragnar – Pepper Proto



"Spied at Ragnar’s booth – a prototype of his upcoming Pepper figure from 3Dretro. Pepper is a humorous yet unassuming little character. The figure is still a work-in-progress – expect changes and refinements before the final product is released in December. This is the first vinyl figure produced by 3DRetro – congrats."
