2 UnderCover OverNight
I want one. Bad.
This is UnderCover OverNight by German exchange student Silvia Terhedebrugge, a cape/bag designed in conjunction with Philadelphia Museum of Art’s exhibition, Zaha Hadid: Form In Motion. Terhedebrugge won first place.
“The piece is fashioned as a cape with visible pockets on the outside and secret pockets on the inside that can hold items for overnight trips.”

1 Clap Snap
It’s cute. It colourful. It’s a USB camera named “Clap Your Hands” that takes the cable out of photo transfers. With 2 megapixels and six colours to choose from, it’s the perfect consumer gift. I expect to see this in little design-happy stores soon.

6 Favourite Fonts
Typographica has released their favourite typefaces of 2011, there are some beautiful choices in there. I’d shell out for A2 Beckett by Henrik Kubel.
You?
Jerrycanning
I love that there is a fabulous reuse for Jerrycans. Instructions/design by Quebecois Industrial Designer Samuel Bernier, with just six different materials you can have yourself a pair of striking speakers. Red makes it louder.
6 Modular Mojo
You say ‘modular’, and I say ‘YES!’
Enter Seung Yong Song, a man with a plan1. Designing 8 pieces of fucking fabulous furniture filled with whimsy. Each ‘chair’ starts off with four timber legs and a lacquered white seat, and from there all manner of eccentricities ensue.
The pieces can be placed together to form a bed, or different, totally rad space saving arrangements. Song also designed extra matching pieces of furniture including a rocking chair that holds your clothing with ocky straps or the like, ladder-chairs for vertical storage and even a literal chair lamp.
I AM SO IMPRESS.
For serious, I would throw out all of the furniture I have and use only these bizarre pieces.
I hope you love them as much as I do2.
32 AGNES likes it better when you’re older.
I tweeted this last week, but I am still in love with the idea. The design world is seeing a huge burst in ‘service design’ (TASCI, Huddle, This Is Service Design Thinking) the new go to buzz word. But this development, I like. As the US population ages (with less births and longer lives), public spaces (and their design) needs to be rethought. The solution? AGNES.
AGNES is a suit that the young and able can wear to catch a glimpse of how they will feel in another 40-60 years. I love this for so many reasons. It’s a great example of what design can do. MOAR OF THIS LESS CHAIRZ PLZ*.
*No hard feelings, Broom.

7 Puukko Party
Ussi’s designed this magnetic knife rack using reclaimed ‘old-growth’ Cypress for water towers in Chicago. I love the idea, but wonder whether drunken house parties might result in a more dangerous form of darts. That’s just me? Fine.

12 2 Messenger bag want.
I’m in love with messenger bags, so I wish I rode my bike enough to justify getting this Unit Portables bag. This guy is sleek and lovely and… and… I want one. For 13” and 15” laptops.
Head to Vetted to buy one.

13 Auteur David Lynch Designs Bar
Silencio Club (after Mulholland Drive) has been designed by David Lynch (who needs no introduction) and I am actually in love. Lynch designed some lovely chairs, too. Enamoured. Me.
Head to Designboom for the meaty info.
