The latest design out of Yamaha Instruments is the Cantilever Electronic Piano. It’s a touch of modern for the music lover.

It’s “an electronic piano the uses the qualities of synthetic material and material presence to counter any perception of inferiority in digital sound output. Cantilever represents a new typology that brings the electronic piano into modernity.”

Although I am usually drawn to more simple objects, I am a fan of this wall clock. TIKTAK. I love the concept sketch. Reading this one may never get boring at least not for me (i easily get confused by complicated clocks).

A couple of designs from Frederik Roije, maker of my favorite wall shelf:

This “china cabinet” a bookshelf mad of porcelain is stunning. I love the space created between each individual piece. The way that these are fired makes each one a little unique.

This light takes the traditional lampshades and merges them together to crate a lampscape. Simply brilliant!

The star that you see floating above that guys head is not some phenomenal occurrence, it is Francisco Guerra’s “Flogo”. This Alabama based entrepreneur developed a machine that turns tiny bubbles filled with air and helium into shaped clouds. He can make almost any logo and send it soaring above our heads. Disney plans to float some mickey mouse ears next month. I don’t really know what to think of this idea but I think I agree with the majority of the comments: marketing overload, its the sky people!!! Although ask me how i would have felt about it 20 years ago and I would have been on board; this one is for the kids.

The Rural Studio feature begins once again this week with the Pods, a name given to the living quarters of the second year design students.

These homes are pretty rustic. The students have definitely had impact on this site and made it there own. It looks as though there is a piece of everyone who has passed through the program embedded in the site somewhere.

Here are some of the pictures that snapped:

It looks as though most of the socializing takes place out back in the bonfire pit. There was a pecan tree with nuts on the ground so I had a nice snack while waiting for the Marlon Blackwell lecture.

Notice the license plate clad washroom.

If you follow the Rural Studio, you may recognize the cardboard house. It is made up of tightly binded cardboard, newspaper and mud. I bet the thermal properties are pretty good. I wonder if the students that get this one stay a little warmer during the winter.

I recently checked out Loreak Mendian’s latest catalog thanks to a tip from these guys who featured some of LM’s screenprints. I loved them photographs of the clothes and the models. They are very minimalistic which complements the clothing style. Another huge plus is that their models look like actual people! My favorite is the yellow jacket outfit (if only yellow wasn’t the only color that i cannot wear). I urge you to checkout the entire catalog as I had a hard time decide which images I liked best!

Cars these days give pedestrians no respect. I am always getting honked at and curb cuts are always blocked by people turning right. Well, you can’t cross a virtual wall . . .

The virtual barrier is made up of plasma ans laser beams that depict pedestrians crossing.  Another attempt to force drivers to stop.  If only it could punish the driver that did not obey its warning (maybe I am slightly bitter!)

These number cards caught my eye over on etsy. I love the way they are placed on the card plus the possibilities of what you could do with them are endless.
