Flashback: September 2004


A quick trip into the archives

Concord "Plug Table"
A table that features two circular sockets in the center that can accept any number of modular plug-in pieces including electrical outlets, light fixtures, and various containers.

Retro Bullet Planter
Faithful reproductions of the original bullet planters from the 50's. Available in 9 colors.

LIKEaBIKE
If I had kids and they didn't yet know how to pedal a bike, they'd totally have LIKEaBIKES. Except I'd put a motor in it and aim them at a big jump. Oh, and beware of knock-offs!

Fly Lamp
Film the flight path of a household fly, plot it, then make a lampshape from the design.

Borris Bally
We've always had a fascination with the bold graphics and colors of road signs, but not so much in the frat house aesthetic kind of way... though we have to admit there is something intriguing about the idea of bringing signs into the home. Now we've found a way to satisfy that desire: road signs re-purposed as functional objects!

The Oculas
For only $45,000, you're nest can have it's own egg, complete with a Playstation.

the return of loud paper


Increasing the volume of architectural discourse... now blogging!
loud paper

It's back! We just got word from Loud Paper editor Mimi Zeiger saying that after a lengthy hiatus, Loud Paper is back... as a blog! Mimi says:
In this new incarnation loud paper is part per-zine, travelogue, marketing machine, and wunderkammer, but it will also remain true to the original mission to provide a forum for multiple voices.
Maybe you didn't know about Loud Paper before... or perhaps you even forgot... in either case bad! Very bad you! Well, Loud Paper was (and is) an independent architecture zine "dedicated to increasing the volume of architectural discourse." It was started in 1997 when Mimi Zeiger was a graduate student at SCI-Arc... back when a couple of us from the L+L crew were in the house too.

We're glad to see Loud Paper back and online. And Mimi says to get ready for a new call for submissions later this fall. We'll keep y'all informed.

CA|Boom I
Can you believe its been three years since CA|Boom burst onto the design scene? Check out our coverage from the design show's freshman year.

Teardrop Vase from Derek Chen
Veneered plywood vase shell, bent in a teardop shape. Sealed and weighted with opaque colored resin. Exposed resin bottom, fully waterproof with a satin lacquer finish.

Favela Chair
Wood scraps never looked better. Designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana.

Fix Lighting
Simple, elegant, and modern. Light fixtures designed by Wonderwall.

Wing Lounge Chair from LYX
If Ray and Charles worked at the Sci-Fi channel, perhaps this would've been their creation.

Porch House
"With a solid understanding of modern design and its application in residential architecture, Greg Lavardera has put together several plans that definitely take the bland and boring out of stock plans."

"Ikea Hacking" an Eichler



We've discussed IKEA here in the past and some our our topics have touched on the topic of altering those inexpensive pieces we purchase from our favorite blue and yellow big-box store. Little did I know that there was a blog dedicated to such exploits. Anyway, look closely at the photo on the right and you'll see an IKEA Effectiv cabinet topped by a quartz-slab countertop in this Eichler remodel. Perhaps not quite a "hack" but still I think it looks pretty slick.

As for the other "IKEA Hacks" on the site, it looks like a majority are geared more towards the dorm-crowd (not that there's anything wrong with that) but have a look around, you might just find something useful. Allen wrenches not included. :)

Hailing from the most unlikeliest of longboard destinations (Edmonton, Alberta)this undettered group has compiled a roster of 15 designers worldwide to create their introductory Series 1 line.
