Skeleton!
Posted by: Kooch on 21st Feb 2010 in Inspiration
Skeleton bob is the sport that we're all talking about at the moment, thanks to the great Amy Williams who rocketed to Winter Olympic glory to provide us with our first gold medal since the curling team worked their magic in Salt lake City back in 2002.
Curling, like skeleton, was another of those sports you'd sort of heard of but had no idea of the depth of skill, intrigue and cool equipment. Personally I like Bill Bailey's musings on curling: why not curl furniture? Sofas, coffee tables etc. - with points awarded for nice arrangements...
But the skeleton 'sled' is a sophisticated piece of design, as you'd expect. Here's what British Skeleton have to say about it...

The Future Is Here (next to the Albert Hall)

I've been lucky enough to have been a recent visiting tutor in one of the most exciting departments of the most exciting design school in the world. For a taste of this, don't miss the Work-in-progress Shows of the Royal College of Art's Innovation Design Engineering school.
3rd-9th Feb. RCA Galleries, Kensington Gore London. (Next to the Albert Hall.)
As well as IDE you'll get to see work in progress from architecture, design interactions, vehicle design, printmaking and animation students.

What's It To Be Then?
Posted by: Kouche on 27th Jan 2010 in Creative Report
What exactly WILL Apple be launching at 18.00 GMT this evening? A sort of hybrid iPhone/laptop tablet? A car? An e-book? A Jesus tablet? A space mission?
Some possibilities to ponder on your way to the bookies here
Dieter Rams
Posted by: Kooch on 27th Jan 2010 in Inspiration
The work of Dieter Rams, currently showing at The Design Museum, London. Exhibition running until 9th March. Lots of good stuff here, including footage of the man himself in conversation with Deyan Sudjic.
You know, it's all very nice, but couldn't it do with a bit more colour and perhaps some decoration?
