German designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen exhibited her 365 knitting clock at DMY International Design Festival Berlin. The clock includes a circular knitting machine with 48 needles, a thread spool, a thread holder, and roll of yarn. The design seeks to make time a tangible, physical thing. It moves clockwise and after one year, creates a scarf two meters long.
Arquitectonika finished this great home in Argentina back in 2005. The back of the house is mostly glass and opens to the backyard via several sliding glass doors, in contrast to the front of the house, which looks very discreet. Well placed windows do double work for bringing the light in but also allow the owners to keep some privacy.
At the DMY International Design Festival Berlin, Tim Vinke showed his latest project, UNA, versatile modular seating. I can see this used as a side table with magazine rack, two together maybe as a coffee table, or a long chain of them as outdoor seating.
