3rings - Light Up Your Life with BOOX LED by Rexite

Light Up Your Life with BOOX LED by Rexite

BOOX, the modular storage system originally designed in 2006 by Alberto Basaglia and Natalia Rota Nodari, is being transformed by LEDs. The new BOOX LED integrates lighting in a unique way—inside the aluminum bars that compose the shelving’s frame. What’s interesting about this design is that it enables each single shelf to be illuminated. The capability to light up gives BOOX LED new opportunities for showing off whatever you keep inside the system. ...

We’ve heard a lot lately about the relationship between global warming and the ocean. An article in Thursday’s Journal of Science describes how aquatic dead zones — or hipoxic waters — create trouble for more than the organisms that live in the waters. In addition to their low levels of oxygen killing off marine life, they can also increase global warming. University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science oceanographer Dr. Lou Codispoti explains in his article how ...

Neighbours, architects and others call it "absurd" that the house should be called green, saying its 10,000 square feet is far too big. One neighbour complains that "green building begins with using 'just enough' and preserving what already exists. Clearly the idea of 'just enough' is not part of the design concept." But how much is too much?... ...

When Christiane Lemieux of DwellStudio submitted this recipe in October, we thought it was a great idea for winter. Those of you who aren’t still watching the snow fall can take advantage of it as well.  You can use whichever vegetables are in season and most flavorful, even if the recipe takes advantage of summer’s finest.  Hearty soups are a great way to use up any surplus vegetables you have around and though I had every intention of pureeing the leftovers and freezing it, my husband ate it all so there were none!   Vegetarians/vegans can substitute the chicken stock with a non-meat based alternative and just use toasted crostini rubbed with garlic, instead of parmesan.    -...

They’re always displayed in fancy baking stores alongside the cash rack (primed and ready for impulse buys), as bright and cheery as a Doris Day movie. I, for one, love the bright pink apron that I wear on busy baking days, but can’t recall ever seeing anyone else (outside the movies) wearing an apron while they bustle around the kitchen.

Creative Review UK - Dog Days Are Over

Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine; director: Legs; prod co: Rokkit

 

Directing team Legs channels the fashionable shamanic vibe in this video for Florence and the Machine's Dog Days Are Over...

"Florence is the shamanic leader of a surreal orchestra where spiritual elation explodes into smokey psychedelic anarchy," says Legs. "Each musical element of the song is personified by a group of colourful characters that combine 60s girl groups, Hinduism, gospel choirs, drum circles, paganism and pyrotechnics. Florence is a painted primal force of nature that whips a religious experience into a riot."...

Not many must have thought of redesigning this thang, but innovation is really called for. Interim let’s look at the Air Cone Concept; it’s this flattened balloon strip that you lay on the road. Inflating it causes Air Cones to pop up, but care has been taken to ensure a sturdy design. Only hope that crazy kids with pins in hand don’t got popping it just for fun...

I didn’t ratchet my way into writing this article, I just hammered it out. But that’s not what Itay Laniado is all about. Itay Laniado designed this magnificent set of material, metal, and wood.
