The Mobile Mobile

"Mobile Mobile - an interactive installation by James Theophane

Brief: Create a Christmas experience that actively demonstrated Lost Boys core value of collaboration.

We took this as an opportunity to reinterpret the Christmas tree and its role as the traditional focal point for a communal space. 'Mobile Mobile' is a six metre circumference interactive sculpture, and signature piece for the entrance of the Brick Lane studio.

Mobile Mobile upcycles fifty old agency cell phones (available after an agency-wide upgrade just two months prior). Each phone is individually addressed by a computer to cofunction and create a choral arrangement. Assigning each phone a tone, the mass is transformed into an aural form that appears to come alive, shimmering and flirting for onlookers."

Just amazing. Recycling up to 50 phones to make an installation creating to the tune of "Carols of the Bells".

Origami

Origami, My favourite past time hobby.

Though I've been folding since young, I had not reached the staged where I can create my own art.

This is the latest work I've done.

It should had been done in white and in crepe but I couldn't get it.
The orchid is the current most challenging flower piece model ever since the kawasaki's rose model (shown below) years ago.

Of course there are many great "origamist" out there creating amazing origami..
I guess one of the best (and youngest!) is Satoshi Kamiya!
He is really one fantastic "origamist". His creation is superb with attention to small details.
Just see few of his creations on youtube. Wait till you see the end of video at 6:46!
You'll be shock. And yes, it's "pure" origami; folding from ONE untrimmed square paper.

All in one Dinnerware

Imagine all bowl, plates, place mats all in one.
Yes all in one.

"Sometimes one has to wonder if a designer is taking tableware a bit too far.
While there is always something appealing about integrating disparate design
elements (such as bowls, plates and place mats in this case) there is also
cleaning and storage to be considered." from Dornob.com

Designer Maezm had design this nice dinnerware that you never had to worry about putting many things on the table.

Elegant as it may seems, I guess it still will be difficult and awkward to use. =)
