“Empty Memory” is a new collection of artistic memory sticks designed by London based Logical Art. The sticks come in two styles, Structure and Transparent. The Structure sticks are cast from stainless steel and the Transparent sticks are cast from acrylic resin. The covers are hand finished in white, black, & pink gold. Both versions contain a 4GB Samsung drive.
These are available on the Logical Art website, prices range from £48 – £60.
This is a really brilliant & simple solution to an annoying problem, how to store your headphones neatly at your computer. If you have an iMac, and a spare $15 ($20 for the decoupaged version), the MacHook by Adam Brackney of Workerman is just what you need.
Sure, you could make one yourself, but you haven’t and I’m pretty sure your wouldn’t have the “nano-suction technology” that the MacHook uses to adhere, and cleanly remove, to your Mac.
This RGB wallpaper by the Milan based studio Carnovsky is really blowing my mind today. The wallpaper, which has been designed in many different motifs, features three color layers, one each in pure Red, Green, and Blue. The resulting patterns and complex shapes mask the real images within the wallpaper until the wallpaper is washed in corresponding colored light. When this happens, each layer is revealed in vibrant monotone color.
I love the really fun MegaPhone iPhone amplifier by Enrico Bosa and Isabella Lovero of en&is. The ceramic cone sits on a simple wooden base that allows you to direct the amplifier. The simple design uses the age-old method of amplifying sound and brings it into the digital era!
This has to be one of the coolest and most original iPad apps I’ve seen to date! The LetterMpress app, being developed by John Bonadies, puts the entire letterpress process onto the iPad, allowing you to create “lock-ups” and print your files on a virtual Vandercook press. You can then export these files for use in your designs. This is a really cool project that I hope gets more people interested in this amazing printing technology.
Be sure to support the project on Kickstarter!
These Karvt wooden iPhone covers look really amazing. I’m totally going to get the bamboo one, or should I get the pine. Now I’m not sure. They come in a ton of different woods all for only $25.00. You can also opt for just the front, or just the back for only $15.
P.S. They’ve got some awesome Macbook & iPad covers too.
The awesome iPhone4 Cardcase by Noesis Design Lab features a built in slide pocket on the back that can hold up to 2 credit cards or ID cards and a slit on one of the sides that, when a card is slid into it, acts as a stand for the phone. The cases are 3D printed by Shapeways to-order and come in four polymer colors, white, black, green, red, as well as a silver printed from Alumide for around $45.00.
I really wish someone would build this and make it somewhat affordable. Following the minimalist style we all expect from Apple, designer Bostjan Majcen has designed a docking solution that repeats the MacBook Pro’s ports and provides a quick and easy way to engage and release them. There are a few options out there for Mac docking stations but all of them are either ugly, to expensive, or limited in functionality. Seems to me like this would be the best option if only it went into production.
Amazingly simple Selvage Sleeves for iPad & iPhone, Field Notes notebooks, & glasses by Portland based MS&Co. The sleeves use 100% White Oak denim that is still manufactured in same the White Oak plant that has been since 1905. The denim is narrow selvage denim that is still made on vintage shuttle looms. It your not a denim aficionados, and I am not, this is all good. Apparently White Oak denim is the best there is, hands down.
The Selvage Sleeves can be purchased for between $28.00 and $48.00 on the MS&Co website.
Susan Kare holds a place in any Mac geeks heart even though we may have never heard her name before. The designer of the original Macintosh system and program icons has released a limited edition line of prints of some of here most loved icons. For me, the Rattle Can icon brings back fond memories of creating truly horrible works of digital “art” at a young age.
The prints are available in limited editions of 200 on Susan’s web shop. They come in four sizes starting at 8.5″x11″ digitally printed for $89.00.
