UNFOLD

Unfold introduces a new concept called the table’s autonomy. Autonomy means that you are not dependent on others, but decide your own affairs. The table’s autonomy means that you should use the table according to its own principles. In other words, subordinate yourselves to the shape of the table.
Unfold breaks with the notion of a table, which often consists of a regular surface with legs. Why not make a table on its own premises?
People change their home all the time. Why not change the furniture so they can be used in different situations and sizes? Why not use a piece of furniture in an unconventional way?
The idea behind Unfold is based on a series of investigations that have led to redesigning the traditional dining table:

• To reconsider the dining table in a manner similar to the society we live in today.
• Furniture should not be defined in advance, but interpreted and used as needed in a given situation.
• To design a sculptural object, which is also functional.
• Unfold has its own identity in all setups and is designed with focus on flexibility, variability, dynamics and contrast.

+INK CALENDAR

Calendar using the capillary action of the ink on the paper.
“Ink Calendar” make use the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time.
The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are “printed” daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.
The ink colors are based on a spectrum, which relate to a “color temperature scale”, each month having a color related to our perception of the whether on that month. The colors range from dark blue in December to, three shades of green in spring or oranges, red in the summer.
The scale for measuring the “color temperature” that I have used is a standard called ‘D65’ and corresponds roughly to a midday sun in Western / Northern Europe.
The “Ink Calendar” was developed for “Gradual “, an exhibition featuring works, which were evolving during the exhibition time at the London Design Festival 2007

R1 radio by il-gu cha

Il-gu cha has designed an analog radio, the R1 radio, tuning is done by moving the radio from left to right and volume is controlled by rolling the radio forward and backward, watch the video, here. I like this design!
"An analog radio is one of most important product for a blind people. In the using a behavior of how people manipulated rather than burying all of interaction in to the product. So adjusting radio to the right station would require a new kind of manipulation rather than simply tuning a knob.
‘R1’ has designed for them to control the radio more intuitively. By using a wheel structure user can control the radio by physical movement. The ‘R1’ allowed users to turn gadget on or off and to control volume and tuning simply by physically rolling the radio forward, backward and sideways. "
