Ink Calendar

Posted by Fabrik | July 17, 2009 Category: design

Ink Calendar by Oscar Diaz

“Ink Calendar” make use the timed pace of the ink spreading on the paper to indicate time. The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are “printed” daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.

The ink colors are based on a spectrum, which relate to a “color temperature scale”, each month having a color related to our perception of the whether on that month.

The colors range from dark blue in December to, three shades of green in spring or oranges, red in the summer.

Sand & Birch Design

Posted by Fabrik | June 12, 2009 Category: design

Sand & Birch Design - Diamond Sofa

The Diamond sofa thought by Samanta Snidaro and Andrea Fino of Sand & Birch design studio is entirely realised in mirror-like aluminium. On the wide stripe 160 crystals of Swarovsky will be disposed creating images. The lamp on its side is a fluorescent or a led one.
The Diamond sofa was thought not only for sitting, but also as an object of very provocative design. It has been studied for entering houses and, at the same time, for inspiring pure luxury.
Sand & Birch is bringing forward a project in which the objects lose their proper primitive functions and acquire other meanings. In this way, the Diamond sofa becomes an expression of predominantly aesthetical value: from just a sofa it becomes a jewel.

The Diamond sofa is produced in numbered limited edition (100 sofas)
Dim: L 150, H 90 (190), P 100 cm

Bag Stool

Posted by Fabrik | June 1, 2009 Category: design

‘Bag Stool’ by Gitta Gschwendtner for Quinze + Milan

This is a cool concrete chair designed by Gitta Gschwendtner for Quinze + Milan. More details below.

From architonic

For the first time in its existence the Belgian manufacturer Quinze & Milan goes concrete!

Referencing material consumption, Gitta Gschwendtner has created concrete and woodcrete stools cast from moulds based on paper shopping bags. Their individual, irregular form is created during the casting process. This playful design looks like it’s popping up right from the ground.

The concrete version is suited for outdoor use and the woodcrete version for indoor use. This is a lighter version made up from a mixture of concrete and wood fibres which makes it lighter and a more environmentally friendly.

Ak47 design

Posted by Fabrik | May 29, 2009 Category: design

Ak47 Design - Firewood Holders

Ak47 design is a fresh italian design studio that have produced a collection of firewood holders. All the rest below. Enjoy!

From the company:

Ak47 is the identification mark of the machine gun designed in 1947 by Mikhail Kalašnikov.

The choice of this name is provocative, strong and incisive. We appreciate the synthesis and efficacy of the object, taking our distance from the purpose for which it was created, but recognising its value as a design.The creative artists at Ak47 propose products that are docile, innovative, efficacious and efficient.

Hence the intuition of Ak47: to develop designs that shun the obvious, venturing into questions that are still unexplored. The aim is to qualify simple objects; to enhance them and characterise them with the quest for a particular process, the innovative use of materials, the care for details. This is the only way to escape the bonds of fleeting fashion and achieve lasting elegance.


Man is the focal point of the Ak47 design themes.
Man as a symbol of imperfection, of natural evolution, of uniqueness that is able to add value to the eyes of the attentive observer.
Here we propose industrialised craftsmanship. Strong single identities which, combined with effective serial
features, are represented in Ak47 products.

The search for detail not only in the end product but in all its processes: from the drawing board to production and packaging.
New projects that have not been overworked by the many companies that design and produce in the world.
A constant challenge that stimulates, contaminates and fascinates anyone who relates to the Ak47 philosophy.

.

.

The choice of firewood holders, the first theme in the project, was not made at random.  We wished to extend our range as much as possible, offering an infinite series of possibilities. Our proposals aim to amaze with unexpected details, almost hidden at first glance.

.

.

The products are also modular: their packaging has been designed to optimise space during storage and transport. The “reduced” packaging decreases transport costs and protects the environment, while maintaining the high quality of the service offered.


The challenge of Ak47 is to discover this equilibrium, to express a language that is able to associate innovation, proportion, originality and usefulness.

Tout Va Bien

Posted by Fabrik | May 3, 2009 Category: design

Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz: Tout Va Bien cabinet

Graphic designers Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz presented a cabinet for furniture brand BD Barcelona Design at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan last week.

Called Tout Va Bien, the cabinet is decorated with relief patterns derived from “arts and crafts, hieroglyphic language, contemporary graphics, fantasy, and optimism.”

“Rarely does a graphic designer (two, in this case) go into the field of furniture design. We have to go far back in time to find them, to the times of the high and low reliefs. This is exactly what Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz have done, a couple of extraordinary Parisian graphic artists who sign their works as Antoine + Manuel. The cabinet they have designed for this new collection brought out by Bd Barcelona design is a surprising mixture of arts and Crafts, hieroglyphic language, contemporary graphics, fantasy and optimism. It is produced with the quality of yesteryear but using today’s technologies in two versions, Basic and Top, distinguished by the shape of the top and because the more exclusive option also offers the possibility of choosing the colour in accordance to the RAL colour references.”
