Nendo created blown-fabric for Tokyo Fiber ’09 Senseware, an exhibition intended to convey the possibilities of new materials developed with Japanese synthetic fibre technology.
‘Smash’ is a specialized long-fibre non-woven polyester that can be manipulated into different forms through hot press forming technology. Because it is thermoplastic, light and rip-proof, but glows beautifully when light passes through it, we wanted to create lighting fixtures in the style of vernacular Japanese chochin paper lanterns with it.
The structure of standard chochin consists of thin strips of bamboo wrapped around a wood frame and strengthened with vertical stitching. Japanese mulberry paper pasted over the frame completes the lamps, and gives them their characteristic glow. But we realized that Smash’s particular properties would allow us to shape it like blown glass into a seamless one-piece lantern. It is impossible to completely control the process, so each fixture takes a unique form as heat is added and pressurized air blown into it. As in glass-blowing, we can intervene during the production of each piece, resulting in a collection of objects whose infinitely varied imperfections are reminiscent of the infinite formal mutations of viruses and bacteria in response to environmental changes, and a far cry from the standardized forms of industrial mass-production.
The fixtures are weighted at the base by the light source. This simple, straightforward contrasts with the careful selection of materials. Smash changes form if the interior temperature rises above 80 degrees centigrade, so we mounted low-heat LED bulbs in machined aluminium sockets that double as a heat-sink to maintain a low interior temperature.

Russel Pinch and Oona Banoon’ s collaboration lead to the Pinch design studio. Founded in 2004 and based in London this studio is “responsible” for a wide range of “graceful and iconic furniture and lighting”. Pinch came as an answer to the increasing need for artistic lines and forms in contemporary objects. In an effort to create a range of fine quality furniture the designers have all their pieces made by hand from the best makers in UK. By using top local manufacturers and materials they manage to ensure that all their creations will meet the best quality standards in both function and aesthetic ways.

The Billy Blue midyear graduate exhibition was named Great Value, due to the current economic situation. Greatly inspired by direct advertising, corny slogans, coupons and two dollar shops, we simply sold ourself as cattle.

“Minter shows us unruly bodies that cannot fit within our culture’s carefully drawn lines: greedy, excessive bodies that ooze and leak and are marked by too much sweat, too much makeup, too much hair, too much grime. These works are about our private ruminations and self-scrutiny; they reveal bodies that, compared to the fantasies that bombard us daily, seem to be in a state of constant eruption.â€

In 2007 it was announced that Harvard Art Museum would be undergoing a major architectural transformation This physical shift would provide an opportunity to enact a conceptual shift; to clarify and create a new institutional name and graphic identity system.
The new identity portrays a unified but dynamic institution with constituent partners. The slash is a typographic device that signifies the connection between the core and the component, the system is flexible for other centers, functions, programs and purposes.
The visual aspect of the identity aims to create a dynamic play between modernity and classicism. Portrayed in the use of two typefaces, the use of black for typography and a respect for image as object, the visual identity is without rules a such but more that it is organized around a principle.

Play-Doh – Safe no matter what you make. One would definitely assume these ads are not targeted at the children themselves but, rather, at the younger generation of parents that would view these pictures and not create an unnecessary angry protest about it.
To those with a sense of humor and an accepting view of reality, flipping through a magazine and coming across these would cause quite the chuckle. Surely children [or the majority of them at least] wouldn’t actually mold such intricately creepy Play-Doh sculptures as these that would tend to make a parent very, very worried. They are merely implying that Play-Doh is better for children than, say, playing violent video games, copying their overly rebellious teenage brother’s actions, or watching R-rated movies.
This set of ads was shown in a free Singaporean magazine by the name of Navigator by agency DDB Singapore.

Sharing the blissful moments with your beloved.
In unexpected situations even a little lamp can be moving.
Just a card from your wallet sends out beautiful, mellow light,
with a cell at its back providing power.
The use of Back Light Unit makes its brighter even.
