beautiful 1950s Ivory bakelite telephone – a classic. more black telephones were produced in the 50ies. bakelite is the first plastic in the world invented by belgian-born chemist leo baekeland in 1907.

this is a great project. ok, its about 1 year old, but I still like it and I will also in the future.

this is a book about the results of martino gamper‘s 100 days 100 chairs project. the london-based designer has collected discarded chairs found on the streets of london (he got some of the chairs also from friends). he reconstructed them and created unique pieces within 3 months. the chairs looks like designs that should get the title: ‘form follows spontanity’ – an evidence that innovation can be formed through existing objects.

the trailer to gary huswit‘s (producer, director) documentary about industrial design is out!

I’ve contacted him in august because I would like to organize a screening here in maastricht, netherlands. he got directly back to me and let me know that they are actually planning also some screenings in colleges and museums. yeah!

so I saw the trailer today on the official blog. and now I should get back to him and see if we can make a screening possible… I’ve really enjoyed the helevetica documentary and I am sure that I will love objectified. my heart beats for documentaries!

the 90-second spot features jonathan Ive, naoto fukusawa, dieter rams, karim rashid, jasper morrison and others
