This past weekend, the first half of their graduate studies culminated with <a href="http://alsoproject.com/" target="_blank">ALSO!</a>, a winsome design intervention at <a href="http://2013.wanteddesignnyc.com/" target="_blank">WantedDesign</a>, which the tight-knit cohort of 16 students realized in the three weeks leading up to NY Design Week. They'd originally developed the concept for Sinclair Smith's five-week <a href="http://productsofdesign.sva.edu/curriculum/first-year/spring/design-theatre/" target="_blank">Design Performance</a> studio intensive, and the NYCxDesign festival (which wrapped up just two days ago) was a felicitous opportunity for them to put their studies into practice.<blockquote>Through a roving set of mobile interventions, visitors to the show participate in an unfolding narrative around celebration, sustainability, digital mediation, storytelling and scale, each expanding the conversation around design beyond form, function and materiality.</blockquote></p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/SVAPoD-ALSO-00.jpg" width="880" height="587" alt="SVAPoD-ALSO-00.jpg"/></p> <p>Broadly speaking, each of the six stations (two wearable, three carts and a single immobile station) offered a different perspective on not only the work on view at WantedDesign but also one's fellow attendees and the venue itself.

Many of the structural elements of the building have been left exposed so that it has the feel of a partially renovated garage: cement floors, bare walls. Strange furniture is scattered about the floor; tour guides are known to explain that decorators chose "deliberately uncomfortable" seats to encourage activity. A smattering of professors and students have questioned the use of foam squares or wood blocks as chairs, but the seats remain.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/JuliaDavids-1.jpg" width="880" height="660" alt="JuliaDavids-1.jpg"/></p> <p>You enter a classroom on the second floor, where 30 or so students populate gray plastic chairs. The room&#8212;in fact, the entire building&#8212;embodies the principle that furniture mixing is proportionally related to idea mixing. Utility pipes unabashedly expose themselves to you. You take a seat on one of the chairs, but your table scoots away from you because it is on casters.

(With the launch of NYCxDesign, New York's annual design week was as supersaturated as ever, what with the ICFF expanding into Javits North and Wanted Design nearly overflowing with exhibitors.) As with <a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/ny_design_week/ny_design_week_2013_field_and_various_projects_present_here_there_in_noho_design_district_24929.asp">Field and Various Projects' <em>Here & There</em></a>, an unassuming exhibition was well worth the visit, and even though most of last weekend exhibitions have been broken down, packed and shipped by now, <a href="http://homeinthewoodsnyc.com/" target="_blank"><em>Home in the Woods</em></a> will remain on view at 29 Mercer St in Soho (albeit by appointment only).</p> <p>However, unlike Jonah Takagi's effort, <a href="http://www.urbanidentities.com/" target="_blank">Maria Larsson</a>'s exhibition is brimming with New Nordic and Swedish Modern quality, including vintage pieces by Bruno Mathsson and Sven Markelius along with works of art and design. As the sole organizer of the exhibition, Larsson readily admits that her role went far beyond simply curating the exhibition: an architect by training, she oversaw the buildout of the gallery space, as well as the PR and marketing.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/HomeintheWoods-EldFire.jpg" width="880" height="587" alt="HomeintheWoods-EldFire.jpg"/><small><em>Vintage table and chairs by Bruno Mathsson; leather goods by <a href="http://www.tigerklo.com/" target="_blank">Tigerklo</a>; stool by <a href="http://www.lithlithlundin.se/" target="_blank">Lith Lith Lundin</a></em></small></p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/ny_design_week/ny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asp">(more...)</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c49adf6/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+%27Home+in+the+Woods%27+Celebrates+Swedish+Modern+and+New+Nordic+Design" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+%27Home+in+the+Woods%27+Celebrates+Swedish+Modern+and+New+Nordic+Design" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+%27Home+in+the+Woods%27+Celebrates+Swedish+Modern+and+New+Nordic+Design" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+%27Home+in+the+Woods%27+Celebrates+Swedish+Modern+and+New+Nordic+Design" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+%27Home+in+the+Woods%27+Celebrates+Swedish+Modern+and+New+Nordic+Design" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664432935/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c49adf6/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664432935/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c49adf6/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664432935/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c49adf6/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/core77/blog/~4/dtLYGxqNNmg" height="1" width="1"/>NY Design WeekThu, 23 May 2013 08:00:00 GMThttp://www.core77.com/blog/ny_design_week/ny_design_week_2013_home_in_the_woods_celebrates_swedish_modern_and_new_nordic_design_24932.asphttp://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c49adf6/l/0L0Score770N0Cblog0Cny0Idesign0Iweek0Cny0Idesign0Iweek0I20A130Ihome0Iin0Ithe0Iwoods0Icelebrates0Iswedish0Imodern0Iand0Inew0Inordic0Idesign0I249320Basp/story01.htmhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/core77/blog/~3/xwuu5kHpmho/story01.htm<p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/chillsner-01.jpg" width="880" height="606" alt="chillsner-01.jpg"/></p> <p>Summer's nearly upon us, and we here at Core77 will shortly spend a weekend at a cabin rental where we can sit outside and drink nice, frosty beer in between spirited bouts of wrestling. But there's a design problem: While we can wrestle out in the woods as good as we can in the office, having cold beer outside means hauling up a cooler, keeping that cooler well-stocked with ice, and downing the beer faster than we'd like so it doesn't go warm&#8212;and that accelerated boozing sometimes impacts the wrestling results.

(Pun lover though I may be, it took me a moment to get the name.) The machine is essentially an articulating arm that can create three-dimensional objects on any surface, independently of a build platform.<blockquote style="margin: 12px; width: auto; font-size: 0.9em;">By using innovative extrusion technology we are now able to neutralize the effect of gravity during the course of the printing process. This method gives us a flexibility to create truly natural objects by making 3D curves instead of 2D layers. Unlike 2D layers that are ignorant to the structure of the object, the 3D curves can follow exact stress lines of a custom shape. Finally, our new out of the box printing method can help manufacture structures of almost any size and shape.</blockquote></div> <br style="clear: both;" /> <p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/55657102" width="880" height="496" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><!-- p><a href="http://vimeo.com/55657102">Mataerial Introduction</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/mataerial">Mataerial</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p --></p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/digital_fabrication/thinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asp">(more...)</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c3d548d/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fdigital_fabrication%2Fthinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asp&t=Thinking+Outside+the+Build+Platform%3A+MATAERIAL%27s+%27Anti-Gravity+Object+Modeling%27+3D+Printer" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fdigital_fabrication%2Fthinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asp&t=Thinking+Outside+the+Build+Platform%3A+MATAERIAL%27s+%27Anti-Gravity+Object+Modeling%27+3D+Printer" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fdigital_fabrication%2Fthinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asp&t=Thinking+Outside+the+Build+Platform%3A+MATAERIAL%27s+%27Anti-Gravity+Object+Modeling%27+3D+Printer" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fdigital_fabrication%2Fthinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asp&t=Thinking+Outside+the+Build+Platform%3A+MATAERIAL%27s+%27Anti-Gravity+Object+Modeling%27+3D+Printer" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fdigital_fabrication%2Fthinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asp&t=Thinking+Outside+the+Build+Platform%3A+MATAERIAL%27s+%27Anti-Gravity+Object+Modeling%27+3D+Printer" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664208328/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c3d548d/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664208328/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c3d548d/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664208328/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c3d548d/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/core77/blog/~4/Z3HWDOzbwNk" height="1" width="1"/>Digital FabricationWed, 22 May 2013 08:00:00 GMThttp://www.core77.com/blog/digital_fabrication/thinking_outside_the_build_platform_mataerials_anti-gravity_object_modeling_3d_printer_24919.asphttp://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c3d548d/l/0L0Score770N0Cblog0Cdigital0Ifabrication0Cthinking0Ioutside0Ithe0Ibuild0Iplatform0Imataerials0Ianti0Egravity0Iobject0Imodeling0I3d0Iprinter0I249190Basp/story01.htmhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/core77/blog/~3/AEu9wOmMBeI/story01.htm<p><img alt="math880.jpg" src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/math880.jpg" width="880" height="620" class="mt-image-none" style="" /></p> <p>Hello Design Fans - Here is a wide image to kick off our new jumbo-tron Core77 format.

We won't ruin it for you, but it's a fascinating read, not least for Cole's highly systematic approach.</p> <p><img src="http://www.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/AppleLogo-GoldenRatio-viaQuora-COMP.jpg" width="880" height="408" alt="AppleLogo-GoldenRatio-viaQuora-COMP.jpg"/></p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/visual_communication/quoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asp">(more...)</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c3896d9/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fvisual_communication%2Fquoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asp&t=Quora%27s+David+Cole+Settles+the+Apple+Logo+%2F+Golden+Ratio+Issue+Once+and+For+All" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fvisual_communication%2Fquoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asp&t=Quora%27s+David+Cole+Settles+the+Apple+Logo+%2F+Golden+Ratio+Issue+Once+and+For+All" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fvisual_communication%2Fquoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asp&t=Quora%27s+David+Cole+Settles+the+Apple+Logo+%2F+Golden+Ratio+Issue+Once+and+For+All" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fvisual_communication%2Fquoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asp&t=Quora%27s+David+Cole+Settles+the+Apple+Logo+%2F+Golden+Ratio+Issue+Once+and+For+All" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fvisual_communication%2Fquoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asp&t=Quora%27s+David+Cole+Settles+the+Apple+Logo+%2F+Golden+Ratio+Issue+Once+and+For+All" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665260479/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c3896d9/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665260479/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c3896d9/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665260479/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c3896d9/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/core77/blog/~4/5XYeG1Vt3Bo" height="1" width="1"/>Visual CommunicationTue, 21 May 2013 21:16:16 GMThttp://www.core77.com/blog/visual_communication/quoras_david_cole_settles_the_apple_logo_golden_ratio_issue_once_and_for_all_24920.asphttp://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c3896d9/l/0L0Score770N0Cblog0Cvisual0Icommunication0Cquoras0Idavid0Icole0Isettles0Ithe0Iapple0Ilogo0Igolden0Iratio0Iissue0Ionce0Iand0Ifor0Iall0I24920A0Basp/story01.htmhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/core77/blog/~3/jVFy66yRumI/story01.htm<p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/luke-clark-taylor-01.jpg" width="468" height="263" alt="luke-clark-taylor-01.jpg"/></p> <p>You've heard the expression that [American] football is a game of inches. So, increasingly, is living in Manhattan.</p> <p>This video of <A HREF="http://www.lukeclarktyler.com" target="_blank">Luke Clark Tyler's</A> apartment (captured by Kirsten Dirksen's <A HREF="http://faircompanies.com/videos/view/manhattan-shoebox-apartment-a-78-square-foot-live-in-closet/" target="_blank">Fair Companies</A>) has racked up nearly two million hits, and for good reason: Tyler downsized from his previous 96-square-foot palace to shoehorn his life into a 78-square-foot studio. But what really makes this video distinct from other "tiny living" vids we've seen, and what should be of interest to the Core77 reader, is that Tyler is a trained architect who can design, build and install his own things, like his sideways Murphy Bed. </p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/luke-clark-taylor-02.jpg" width="468" height="263" alt="luke-clark-taylor-02.jpg"/></p> <p>Also observe the little details, like how he's using eyehooks as toothbrush- and razor-holders and how the bottle-stays on his shelves are just wooden dowels held in place by two carefully-placed sheetrock screws on either side.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/luke-clark-taylor-03.jpg" width="468" height="546" alt="luke-clark-taylor-03.jpg"/></p> <p>This is giving us a potentially cruel idea for design education&#8212;but before we get to that, watch the vid:</p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/architecture/to_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asp">(more...)</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c373368/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Farchitecture%2Fto_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asp&t=To+Advance+Micro-Living+Designs%2C+Have+Design+Students+Live+in+Tiny%2C+Unfurnished+Spaces.+Yea+or+Nay%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Farchitecture%2Fto_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asp&t=To+Advance+Micro-Living+Designs%2C+Have+Design+Students+Live+in+Tiny%2C+Unfurnished+Spaces.+Yea+or+Nay%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Farchitecture%2Fto_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asp&t=To+Advance+Micro-Living+Designs%2C+Have+Design+Students+Live+in+Tiny%2C+Unfurnished+Spaces.+Yea+or+Nay%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Farchitecture%2Fto_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asp&t=To+Advance+Micro-Living+Designs%2C+Have+Design+Students+Live+in+Tiny%2C+Unfurnished+Spaces.+Yea+or+Nay%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Farchitecture%2Fto_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asp&t=To+Advance+Micro-Living+Designs%2C+Have+Design+Students+Live+in+Tiny%2C+Unfurnished+Spaces.+Yea+or+Nay%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664189096/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c373368/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664189096/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c373368/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664189096/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c373368/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/core77/blog/~4/jVFy66yRumI" height="1" width="1"/>ArchitectureTue, 21 May 2013 18:00:00 GMThttp://www.core77.com/blog/architecture/to_advance_micro-living_designs_have_design_students_live_in_tiny_unfurnished_spaces_yea_or_nay_24915.asphttp://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c373368/l/0L0Score770N0Cblog0Carchitecture0Cto0Iadvance0Imicro0Eliving0Idesigns0Ihave0Idesign0Istudents0Ilive0Iin0Itiny0Iunfurnished0Ispaces0Iyea0Ior0Inay0I249150Basp/story01.htmhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/core77/blog/~3/6bJrc87KV48/story01.htm<img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/INTRONY-exterior.jpg" width="930" height="652" alt="INTRONY-exterior.jpg"/> <div style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: 350; padding: 10px 25px 16px; float: right; width: 560px; line-height: 1.4em;"><span style="margin-left: -30px; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 18px; text-transform: uppercase;">Design agency <a href="http://smlpond.com" target="_blank" style="font-family: Georgia!important;">smallpond</a> looked</span> to go big time for the inaugural NYCxDesign festival, entering the fray with the support of London's Designjunction.

Once again, our friends Jill Singer and Monica Khemsurov of Sight Unseen have masterminded a neighborhood-wide celebration of young and emerging designers. In addition to partnering with several co-conspirators such as Future Perfect and American Design Club, they've also curated the flagship Noho Next group exhibition, featuring 13 handpicked studios that comprise a showcase of design talent.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/NohoNext2013-2.jpg" width="468" height="351" alt="NohoNext2013-2.jpg"/></p> <p>The exhibition took place over the weekend at Subculture, the event space in the basement of the 45 Bleecker Street Theater, which hosted <a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/ny_design_week/tom_dixons_london_underground_exclusive_interview_on_light_love_and_rock_n_roll_22481.asp">Tom Dixon's London Underground</a> exhibition last year. (I don't know if I'm dating myself with the reference, but I remember going to the Crosby Connection sandwich shop when they occupied the cafe a few years back...). Although it happens to be closing as I write this, hopefully our documentation can serve as future reference.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/NohoNext2013-MishaKahn-0.jpg" width="468" height="351" alt="NohoNext2013-MishaKahn-0.jpg"/><small><em><a href="http://mishakahn.com" target="_blank">Misha Kahn</a>, Brooklyn, NY</em></small></p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/NohoNext2013-MishaKahn-1.jpg" width="468" height="351" alt="NohoNext2013-MishaKahn-1.jpg"/><small><em>Misha Kahn</em></small></p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/NohoNext2013-MishaKahn-2.jpg" width="468" height="351" alt="NohoNext2013-MishaKahn-2.jpg"/><small><em>Misha Kahn</em></small></p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/NohoNext2013-MishaKahnxChrisWolston.jpg" width="468" height="624" alt="NohoNext2013-MishaKahnxChrisWolston.jpg"/><small><em>Misha Kahn &#215; <a href="http://www.chriswolston.com/" target="_blank">Chris Wolston</a></em></small></p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/ny_design_week/ny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asp">(more...)</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c2e0938/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+Sight+Unseen+Presents+the+Underground+Design+Scene+at+Noho+Next" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+Sight+Unseen+Presents+the+Underground+Design+Scene+at+Noho+Next" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+Sight+Unseen+Presents+the+Underground+Design+Scene+at+Noho+Next" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+Sight+Unseen+Presents+the+Underground+Design+Scene+at+Noho+Next" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fny_design_week%2Fny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asp&t=NY+Design+Week+2013%3A+Sight+Unseen+Presents+the+Underground+Design+Scene+at+Noho+Next" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664676129/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c2e0938/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664676129/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c2e0938/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664676129/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c2e0938/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/core77/blog/~4/_c2gwstJ4mk" height="1" width="1"/>NY Design WeekTue, 21 May 2013 00:45:00 GMThttp://www.core77.com/blog/ny_design_week/ny_design_week_2013_sight_unseen_presents_the_underground_design_scene_at_noho_next_24906.asphttp://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c2e0938/l/0L0Score770N0Cblog0Cny0Idesign0Iweek0Cny0Idesign0Iweek0I20A130Isight0Iunseen0Ipresents0Ithe0Iunderground0Idesign0Iscene0Iat0Inoho0Inext0I2490A60Basp/story01.htmhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/core77/blog/~3/qAGrmZ1qUjk/story01.htm<p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/fabrican-01.jpg" width="468" height="312" alt="fabrican-01.jpg"/></p> <p><A HREF="http://www.fabricanltd.com" target="_blank">Fabrican</A> is a sprayable fabric that actually contains fibers, and after curing it can be washed and re-worn. It first created an internet stir in 2006, but for reasons only the internet gods know, Fabrican is now resurfacing on social media and often being mistakenly presented as new.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/fabrican-02.jpg" width="468" height="392" alt="fabrican-02.jpg"/></p> <p>Don't get us wrong, Fabrican is amazing. But it is not new, and serves as a reminder of just how long it can take to bring a good idea to market, and how dogged inventors need to be. Manel Torres first conceived of Fabrican way back in 1995, when he was an RCA student studying fashion design, after watching a friend get sprayed with Silly String. Torres began to collaborate with chemical engineers, and by 2000 he'd filed a patent and set up R&D facilities at Imperial College London.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/fabrican-03.jpg" width="468" height="311" alt="fabrican-03.jpg"/></p> <p>Three years later Torres formed Fabrican Ltd., and another three years went by before the blogosphere picked up on the stuff. Here in 2013, seven years later, there are still no announcements for commercialization; the "News" section of Fabrican's website saw its last update in 2010.</p> <p><img src="http://www.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/fabrican-04.JPG" width="468" height="365" alt="fabrican-04.JPG"/></p> <p>Has Torres given up? Doesn't look like it, as he's delivered several Fabrican-based TED Talks as recently as last year. We can only speculate as to what's preventing the appearance of Fabrican on store shelves, which is what we'd really like to see; while Torres is proposing industrial solutions targeted at the medical, automotive and fashion design industries, we think selling the stuff in cans and letting you guys figure out what to do with it would be a good way to go.</p> <p><img src="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2013/05/fabrican-05.jpg" width="468" height="704" alt="fabrican-05.jpg"/></p> <p>Hit the jump for some videos (one NSFW, if you work in Puritan America) showing the stuff in action.</p><a href="http://www.core77.com/blog/materials/fabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asp">(more...)</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c2b2b1c/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fmaterials%2Ffabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asp&t=Fabrican%27t+Hardly+Wait%3A+Manel+Torres%27+Long+Road+to+Commercializing+Spray-On+Fabric" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fmaterials%2Ffabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asp&t=Fabrican%27t+Hardly+Wait%3A+Manel+Torres%27+Long+Road+to+Commercializing+Spray-On+Fabric" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fmaterials%2Ffabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asp&t=Fabrican%27t+Hardly+Wait%3A+Manel+Torres%27+Long+Road+to+Commercializing+Spray-On+Fabric" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fmaterials%2Ffabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asp&t=Fabrican%27t+Hardly+Wait%3A+Manel+Torres%27+Long+Road+to+Commercializing+Spray-On+Fabric" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.core77.com%2Fblog%2Fmaterials%2Ffabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asp&t=Fabrican%27t+Hardly+Wait%3A+Manel+Torres%27+Long+Road+to+Commercializing+Spray-On+Fabric" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664340414/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c2b2b1c/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165664340414/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c2b2b1c/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165664340414/u/49/f/649883/c/35132/s/2c2b2b1c/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/core77/blog/~4/qAGrmZ1qUjk" height="1" width="1"/>MaterialsMon, 20 May 2013 19:44:41 GMThttp://www.core77.com/blog/materials/fabricant_hardly_wait_manel_torres_long_road_to_commercializing_spray-on_fabric_24911.asphttp://core77.feedsportal.com/c/35132/f/649883/s/2c2b2b1c/l/0L0Score770N0Cblog0Cmaterials0Cfabricant0Ihardly0Iwait0Imanel0Itorres0Ilong0Iroad0Ito0Icommercializing0Ispray0Eon0Ifabric0I249110Basp/story01.htm
