| 3 Firms, 3 Visions For The Future Of Los Angeles Posted: 20 Jul 2010 08:22 AM PDT  I have a love/hate relationship with the city of Angels. I’ve lived here since 2002 and in that short time, I’ve come to accept some of L.A.’s defining qualities. Sure, the traffic gets to me, the pollution and the ever looming threat of the “big one” but what will it really be like in 2030? Newsweek has a cool interactive feature offering glimpse called The Future Of Work. Three visions by three firms – Michael Maltzan Architecture, Gensler and cityLAB.

| Posted: 20 Jul 2010 08:07 AM PDT  Wire hangers were really my first tool and resource to build all sorts of things when I was kid so it’s no surprise someone thought to turn a bunch of them into a chandelier called Light MI. You basically have a series of fixed hangers around a bulb. The shape becomes abstract but familiar in a whimsical way. Cool thing about this product? It’s real if you want it. Info after the jump.

| Super Teeny Tiny Robotic Printers Posted: 20 Jul 2010 08:01 AM PDT  Envisage a future where printers are microscopic and an army of robots print anything you want. It’s called RO. At least 100 nanobots are stored in four base stations which also serve as ink cartridges for each of the four printing colors (CMYK). The base stations adhere to every surface. By relocating the stations, the printing area can be set and scaled to size. When the printing system ist activated the print job is projected onto the designated area by a laser beamer. During the printing process the nanobots merge together and form printing grids. Designer: Daniel Dobrogorsky ----------     |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2010 05:12 AM PDT  Spike-busters and power strips usually sport their set number of sockets regardless the shape of the plugs to be used. Unless you go in for the expensive Belkin ones, "extension cords" here in India are standard and sport limited sockets. Something like the Slot-Type Power Outlet will be handy for us and the world over. The idea is not to have "holes" or set number of "sockets", but just a swipe-in slot to hook up the plugs. This ways different shaped plugs reside comfortably next to each other plus accommodate more than the regular strips. Slots for 3-pin and 2-pin plugs are different though, but easy to manage.

| Cut With Attraction, Repel With Force Posted: 20 Jul 2010 04:28 AM PDT  90% Magnetic Scissors is an awesome tool for folks who go snip-snip all day. The scissor-head houses power-magnets in their internal seam, which uses the repel action to cut an easy snip. A good thing is that you can change the poles at the flick of a button, to keep the blades locked into place. Apparently 90% of the force used for cutting is sourced from the magnetic power, and 10% comes from your end. Easy cut-cut I say! Designers: Sang-in Lee & Yun-je Sung ----------     |
| Color Time Keeping Identification Posted: 20 Jul 2010 12:15 AM PDT  How would you like to keep time with not hands, not digits, but with colors? How about we keep the numbers, and instead of pointing to them, we light them up? How about that?! Designer Daniel Will-Harris has just the watch you’ve been searching for all your life, you lovers of blue and red and silver tones, yes! This is the “Iridium Watch” and you’re about to identify lunchtime with the power of color tone. And what’s this? We’ve got it in the store? How handy! The hour is identified by blue and the red shows the minutes. Then, yes! Indeed! when they pass over one another, they turn purple, as the crystal lens of the color is partially transparent. Blending! Designer: Daniel Will-Harris [Buy It Here, Iridium Watch is available for $120.00 @ YD Store] Iridium Watch is available for $120 @ YD Store ----------     |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2010 12:07 AM PDT  Design A Clocks! We got Design A Clock here- peek at em! They’re called “Design A Clock” and they’re here for you to paint on. That’s what they do, they let you paint on em and they tell the time. What else could you possibly want from something so square? A multi-canvas clock is what this is, allowing you to produce you own unique design. Pine frames and primed canvas, make it big or make it small. Count the time, paint the time. Rock with them right out of the box or paint them for hours and hours and hours, depending on how much time you’ve got. Designer: Sarah Beth Harrison ----------     |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2010 12:01 AM PDT  Let me introduce you to this lovely, organic chair. I say organic because of the aesthetic of the whole thing. Look at it! Or rather, look at them, there’s more than one. This is the “Zeren Chair” designed by Njegos Lakic of Belgrade. The Zeren Chair is characterized by it’s low weight, thin structure, and high hardness. Each of these chairs is made of magnesium and wood and magic. It reminds me rather of something the master surrealist artist H.R. Giger would make. A lot less scary, though, thank goodness. These chairs would look severely amazing in something like a modern art gallery, modern collectable toy store, design office, anything like that. Probably not for your living room… unless you’re really hardcore. An all-around wicked and beautiful looking chair, I must say. Designer: Njegos Lakic ----------     |
