Rocking Chair Sculpture Calendar 2012

How genius is this 2012 Rocking Chair Sculpture Calendar by Katsumi Tamura for Good Morning, Inc.? It is designed to sit on your desk and it even rocks back and forth like a real rocking chair. The design is meant to symbolize a relaxing way to measure the passage of time, i.e., rocking. The current month sits on the back of the chair while the other months are stored on the seat.

Make Something From Nothing

Red Stripe® , the Jamaican beer company, recently teamed up with London-based Japanese sound artist Yuri Suzuki to create a series of cultural projects that celebrate the DIY culture of the brand’s Jamaican roots. Suzuki is best known for his sick homemade music machines including a flute made from an electric kettle and Scalectrix tracks made from old vinyl records.

Fly Wing Flapper

The Fly Wing Flapper by Dutch industrial designer Ramon Middelkoop , who teaches product design at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, is a plastic fly swatter with a lacy design that echoes the pattern of the annoying insects’ wings. While it’s certainly better looking than the typical hardware store variety of swatter, we wonder if the openings are a tad too large for an average-sized pesky housefly. Still, we applaud the effort to elevate the mundane.

Blancowhite by Estudi Arola

Estudi Arola created a set of lamps that look like tables, or, a set of tables that function as lamps. And, they even made a bookshelf. I like how you can hang the little one on the wall and use it as a sconce. Photos by Koke Bartrina.
