    The Chrono_Shredder is a device that makes past time tangible. It is a hybrid between calendar, clock and waste producing automaton. It has no on/off-button, thus it is unstoppable, just like time. It features the 365 days of the year represented on a paper-roll. The paper-roll is led through a hacked paper-shredder, which is programmed to use exactly 24 hours to shred one “day”.

    Designed by Susanna Hertrich the Chrono Shredder invents a near-future scenario, in which people have embraced human hibernation as common practice and efficient method to delay their natural ageing. The chrono_shredder is one product from a fictional series of products, which are developed under the umbrella of “memento vivere” (remember that you also have to live your life). Those products target at people with hibernation obsession.

    A landscape designed for the body. These livingstones, “les coussins galets” created by French designer Stephanie Marin, remind me of Ernesto Neto’s work. I stumbled upon these and I love them. I can now embrace my furniture, discover the spaces inside, around and between my body!

  • 10AprGesture and shape define the state of an object

    Switch

    Switch by Radi Designers.

    Gesture and shape both change the reading and functioning of the object; to cut the power one needs to break the object to interrupt the wire continuity on which it is integrated. It is the shape of the switch that makes sense as much as the sensation of breaking. The gesture is reversible and the switch takes two shapes: straight or bent to define the states: open or close -the usual schematic representations.
