The Perfect Office #28

PauloGabriel — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:10:23 +0000

We've seen some great gadgets and equipment for designers. So many cool stuff, that we could actually assemble infinite perfect office spaces! Every week we'll assemble a perfect office, and we'd like you to help us. What equipment would the perfect office have?

Not only gadgets and equipment, but also furniture, sound system, gaming stuff (for lunch time!). A designer is totally allowed to dream with the perfect office, and that's what we're gonna do here! Comment telling us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via twitter (mine and fabio's), using #abdz_ofc so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection. Cheers! ;)

Gravity Sofa

Simple and light upholstered sofa. The structure makes an empty space between seating space and floor, enpowering the lightness and shape of frame. (at Designer Spotter)

USB Super 16 Port Hub

If you are one of those people that has a large collection of gadgets that you like to have connected to your PC all at once, then you may want to check out the USB Super 16 Port Hub. If four USB ports aren’t enough for you then maybe this may be the solution, as this USB 2.0 hub features a total of sixteen USB 2.0 ports. The USB Super 16 Port Hub can be connected to two PCs at once to share the same USB gadgets (although not at the same time), it comes with a built in 22.5W power supply and you don’t need an extra AC adapter to power it. (at Geeky Gadgets)

Water Clock

A clock made of a glass of water, a plate and magnets. The ball floats on the water to display the time. The clock is part of the State of Things - Design and the 21st Century exhibition at the Design Museum Holon. (at Moco Loco)

Green Lantern MacBook Decal

Here he is right to your laptop, full color decal letting your MacBooks light show through his ring and illuminating. The Green Lantern MacBook Decal is available for the MacBook and MacBook Pro available to fit 13 inch, 15 inch and 17 models. (at Geeky Gadgets)

Marvel Coloud Headphones

Here are some cool headphones for all the Marvel Comics fans out there, the Marvel Coloud Headphones. These fun Marvel themed headphones feature a range of Marvel superheroes, from Iron Man, The Hulk, The Punisher and Wolverine, plus an X-Men version. (at Geeky Gadgets)

16 Million Color Lamp

The Philips 818566 LivingColors LED lamp produces 16,777,216 different colors of accent light. The lamp’s four LEDs (two red, one blue, and one green) can generate 256 different hues, 256 levels of saturation, 256 brightness settings and up to 120 lumens. By using the small remote’s touch-sensitive color wheel, you can wash a wall, corner, or room with the color to match your mood. The lamp comes in two sizes. Large is $199 and a smaller mini sized lamp for $109. Both are available at Amazon and other online retailers. (at The Gadgeteerr)

Dell Precision M4500 Workstation

The M4500 supports both Core i5 and Core i7-920XM Quad Core processors along with optional Nvidia Quadro FX 1800M or Quadro FX 880M graphics. And its starting weight of six pounds makes it a mobile workstation that's actually, well, portable.

It's also the first mobile 15.6-inch mobile workstation to come with an optional 64GB SSD MiniCard (starting at $220) for more storage and better battery life. Speaking of which: the M4500 is listed as getting 7 hours and 40 minutes, which is a pretty impressive claim for such a hardcore machine.

Its target audience is distinctly professional: oil and gas, federal, medical, that sort of thing. On the plus side, that means Dell's packed the M4500 with government-level fingerprint security. On the down side? This thing's going to cost when it's finally available in the next few weeks. (at Gizmodo)

Fun pick of the day

A solar charger or solar powered device is all fine and good if you live in an area where there is ample sunlight. If you live in an area with heavy tree or cloud cover most of the year, a solar charger might not be ideal. A better option in some cases is a wind generator.

Eolic is a foldable wind power generator that harnesses the breeze to make power for your gadgets. The cool part about the Eolic is its foldable and very portable design. The entire wind generator folds into a carry case that you can take camping or to the beach for power.(at Slash Gear)

The Incredible NoPattern Office

fabiano — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:18:25 +0000

Now I can understand why Chuck Anderson has this amazing mind to create pieces of art that are so impressive. His office is incredible, those places where we can work and live, for sure. And you must be imagining that lots of people work there, right? But NoPattern is a one person company, yes, Chuck Anderson enjoy all this alone!

The guy work for the biggest companies in the world, in a workspace absolutely inspiring. The use of wood and brick with some apparent metal tubes bring a industrial and very modern feel. Besides the natural light and the wide space that make this office so cozy, the illustrations give personality to the place. The choice of the mobiles seem to be done randomly, with no concern, but all of them are complementary. And to finish this list, one especial piece call my attention, is a Herman Muller chair, this is what I can call chair! For me Chuck was very happy when design this stylish and cool workspace, a perfect place to work!

Thank you OfficeSpanshot for this amazing tip!

Spaghetti Western Movie Posters

guest — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:29:30 +0000

Today I'm going to post some cool Western Spaghetti movie posters in the blog. For those who are not familiar with the genre, Western Spaghetti it's a kind of western made in late 70's by italian directors, in italian locations. The most memorable characteristic of Werstern Spaghetti is the long and dramatic scenes during the duels, creating an unique atmosphere that the american western movies never were able to get, even closer.
