Brad Ascalon's Spindle Table made of glass and wood.
The homly look of the dark leg is one very familiar to all of us; creating a strong pondon to the modern design .

Documentation is everything. Everyone should do it. It becomes more and more serious when you`re getting older. One forgets...sth

Remade- a phone produced as a gesture: recycled materials from metal cans, plastic bottles, and car tyres are used beautifully; whilst helping reduce landfill and preserving natural resources. The concept also addresses cleaner engine technologies, and energy efficiency through power saving graphics.

Trend_week#10_tk
trend of using geometrical and polygone shapes in design and architecture.
the increasing appearence of these structures is probably based on the advancement in 3d software technologies.
Trend_week#9_tk
concrete trend
here 'resilience tables' by Lohmann, combining concrete with a soft material like wool.
usually used to build roads and architectural structures now new kinds of concrete allow for thin and fragile objects

the first phone that beats the iphone. this second iphone came out with a design of the last black powerbook from the year 2000. this makes it obvious, organic apple design can quote itself, after 8 years.

“Adhoc” Pop-Up design office is a contemporary concept that transforms the traditional rules and methods of a design office into a dynamic way to generate design, at the right moment, and with the right people. This innovative, experimental project that will launch in Postdam/ Berlin from April to July 2007, was conceived by designer garth roberts. “Adhoc” is sponsored by Modulor_material total, Moleskine and DuPont Corian.
Pop-Up design office that leverages its location and creativity to produce a unique product experience, instead of time and exclusivity. It maximizes the advantages of being a ‘temporary cultural implant’ by identifying the creative energy unique to a given city and uses that energy to aid in the design process. In contrast with the retail pop-up event that is the end of the product cycle and a one-off experience, the Adhoc design studio is the beginning and defining element in the product cycle. It is established to be a bespoke method of creativity and design management.

Bad News Email from Corian_Germany

Dear Garth,
sorry for my late response, but in the moment we are struggling with our activities in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
That´s the reason why I actually don´t find the time to give a lecture of Corian and Tyvek Graphics in June or July.
I am really sorry about that. But can we support you in other ways?
best regards

tanja krakowski: 14:08:21
hey
Marius: 14:08:32
why not
Garth Roberts: 14:08:46
discuss sketches
Garth Roberts: 14:09:24
they were not your best work_I say this in all honesty
veronika gabler: 14:09:30
(heidy)
Garth Roberts: 14:09:43
they didn't consider the material or fabrication at all
Garth Roberts: 14:09:48
hey V
Marius: 14:10:37
i think i also wouldn't undestand them without exlaining
Garth Roberts: 14:10:43
of course maybe I misread the sketches_
Marius: 14:11:20
also if made some more
Garth Roberts: 14:12:08
I am hoping so_but the brief was VERY easy_and not so complex from an engineering and production stand point
Marius: 14:12:51
and also i didnt want to lose so much time with the scans
Marius: 14:12:59
no it was ery easy
Marius: 14:13:31
but i just wanted to do some fast sketches
Garth Roberts: 14:13:35
sketch and 72 dpi scan very quick and easy
Marius: 14:13:45
only for my self
Marius: 14:14:11
not if i have to get the drier ones again
Marius: 14:14:22
driver
Garth Roberts: 14:14:31
even more than one image on a page of A4 is ok with a few notes and if necessary some overall dimensions_
Garth Roberts: 14:16:27
scan using office computer_remember communication is the key sketch enough to communicate the idea when working on a concept this way the explaining blah blah is simpler if even not necessary_
Marius: 14:16:41
yes i know but im not so good yet in this kind of skypeworkflow for you its normal but not for me the Video thing was much better
Garth Roberts: 14:16:45
anyway I await the ext xketches
Garth Roberts: 14:18:47
I still need sketches either way_with this remote working you have to be focus on each task, be responsible and manage yourself so that you can forward the project without being hand held
Garth Roberts: 14:18:59
anyway this is a learning process_
Garth Roberts: 14:19:20
so send me the new sketches_
Garth Roberts: 14:20:52
