It’s funny the way some shelves become obsolete as though the extrusion from the ground allows for no alteration of their height.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This expansive outdoor public library, called ‘bookyard’ was designed by Massimo Bartolini for Belgian Art Festival.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ’Bookyard ‘ is placed in a garden, surrounded by trees and grapevines. All books are for sale and the visitors may bring home a piece of the artwork by &lt;a href="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/21434/bookyard-an-outdoor-library-by-massimo-bartolini.htmlleaving"&gt;http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/21434/bookyard-an-outdoor-library-by-massimo-bartolini.htmlleaving&lt;/a&gt; a donation of their choosing into a small box supplied by the artist and the libraries. The visitors may enjoy ‘bookyard’ until September, officially ends on 16 09 2012&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Built in Mexico City, this Mini-Studio, or art workshop, is nestled between three existing structures in the backyard of a house. Designed by &lt;a href="http://www.frentearq.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FRENTEarquitectura&lt;/a&gt;, who carefully considered the direct sunlight that would stream into the space if not oriented correctly. In order to block some of the light without restricting the view, the upper level juts out to cast shadow over the ground floor windows. Overall, the space is full of trapezoidal shapes, giving dimension to the white walls and shiny epoxy-coated floors.”&lt;/p&gt;

The shelf is mounted with an invisible bracket, providing a floating impression 8mm from the wall and fixed with CNC-cut thumbscrews in brushed stainless steel presenting a subtle detail in both the design and function of the shelf. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We have given the shelf an indentation in its two surfaces and equipped them with a washable, silicone mat in order to protect glass and china. Traditional Vipp materials in white or black powder coated aluminum are used to produce the shelves to ensure a visual coherence with the Vipp kitchen and bathroom modules,” explains Chief Designer in Vipp, Morten Bo Jensen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bai dining chair combines a shell upholstered in Bute tweed with a cross legged natural finished beech structure. Its sensual shapes are reminiscent of classical scandinavian design icons with special attention to the subtly curved armrests.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Launched at the Milan design week 2012, the prototype features a beech structure along with a fiberglass shell&lt;br/&gt; upholstered in Bute fabric.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“In my thoughts I already live in a post fossil period. When we talk in the team about new ideas and products, the influence on our environment is an important issue. In my work I hunt for ideas which are of good value in this matter. The product should know the rules of nature.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thomas Walde is an industrial designer based in Aarau, Switzerland. He works self-employed in the fields of furniture and product design as a designer and as a consultant. Additionally he works as a Scientific Assistant at Master of Arts in Design, ZHdK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Like many designers, I am drawn to all sorts of handmade printing processes. I find the imperfections of each is what makes them so intriguing, from the mottled textures created by letterpress, to the chalky quality of screen printing ink. I try to incorporate these textures into my work as an illustrator and designer because they add authentic character to work I do on the computer.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; People love getting a cool business card, but might love it more if they see the process of how it was made. For my card, my mind went to the idea of rubber stamps, however, there is not a convenient way to carry around a rubber stamp with an ink pad without making a big mess. I discussed this idea with my good friend Keith Berger, proprietor of &lt;strong&gt;link:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://crankypressman.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Cranky Pressman&lt;/a&gt;. He told me about the Inspector Stamp, a small, metal, self-inking stamp that comes on a keychain. This seemed like such a cool outdated object, it was something I couldn’t pass up. For my business card, I sourced the largest stamp size I could find which was 3/4 inch. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; While this size may seem like an incredibly small area to design in, I find it to be quite adequate. So often, we load tons of extraneous info onto our business cards, just because we have the space. Nowadays, such little info is needed on a card for someone to actually get ahold of you. A one-word twitter handle can be all that is needed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; The “classic” business card is often a ritual simply to impress the reciever. The idea with my new card is that it does away with the usual pretentiousness. With this stamp, you are able to print your condensed snippet of info onto any substrate—a beer mat, someone else’s business card, a napkin, or even someone’s hand. After all, people are more likely to lose a business card in a drunken stupor, but less likely to lose their hand.&lt;/p&gt;
