Centenary Art and Design shows approaching.

The Centenary shows are on the way. All level 6 students across the School of Art and Design are busying themselves in their work preparations. Good Luck to all. If you want to keep a pace with the increasing buzz as the shows approach then check out the SHOWS BLOG here. There is also a blog news feed to the right of the Product Blog screen.

Level 6 notice

Layout Plans for the Centenary show have now been released. See Craig for a handout on the layout! They also state hand-in days for the different components. I will also pin-up on studio wall. I am also posting some A1 'product in context' work from previous years.

Do It Your Damn Self

Do It Your Damn Self: "

Lately, I’ve been on the lookout for flat-pack and DIY designs that aren’t so obviously DIY or flat-pack. Alternatively, the PrimO chair by Petyo Ivanov Denev offers no excuses or apologies for it’s bare-bones, self-assembled style… and it’s still rad. This multipurpose chair maximizes the efficiency of production, transportation, storage, and price with it’s 18mm thin plywood flat-pack design that you can put together yourself, because after all… you’re a big kid now. My new favorite expression: DIYDS.

Designer: Petyo Ivanov Denev

The deceptively cool looking Clockus is one heavy-duty brain-drain that takes off from where the IQ Clock left us. It presents you with a rudimentary math problem every hour so if you want the time, brush up on your addition, subtraction and multiplication tables. For you math geniuses, Clockus can serve up questions in the 24hr format. Oooh double digits!

Liquid to Light

Liquid to Light: "

Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space.
