Bonus TGIF post! If you want to show off where you’ve been, instead of a world map and pushpins why not buy My Scratch Map , a wall map created from the same scratchable stuff of lottery tickets. Simply scratch off the gold foil where you’ve been on the map to reveal a color underneath. What a great gift for the world traveler! via noquedanblogs & Gizmodo © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Art , Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

The main design in the collection is the Scoop Chip and Dip Server, a really fun “chip & dip” bowl where the dip bowl seems to hover effortlessly over the larger serving bowl. Wei Young, head of MyDesign, explains the inspiration for this piece: The inspiration for the Scoop Chip and Dip came from the sweeping, fluid motion one performs when scooping an actual chip into dip

Melbourne-based Charlwood Design has created The Ribbons of Life — a unique lighting concept inspired by the distinctive and intricate organic structures of nature for The Design Institute of Australia’s Light + Shade exhibition which is part of Victoria’s State of Design Festival . Drawing on a DNA strand as a starting point, Charlwood was interested in exploring the way light interacts with complex shapes. The result is a futuristic, intriguing form that diffuses light into dense, multi-layered shadows. Using their in-house 3D printer for fabrication allowed the creation of new forms previously impossible to manufacture using traditional methods. The final material, a form of ABS plastic gives a soft amber glow to light as it passes through it
