without thought
what comes into mind when people hear the word 'container'?
is there a clear cut image held in common by everyone?
is the shape of a container dependent on its contents?
or do people look at a container and think,
'if it's this shape, then I want to put X in it'?
there's an appeal to containers, regardless of what's in them.
we came up with various designs when discussing just what that appeal was.
we searched out the soul of this appeal that was 'effortlessly good'.

during tokyo designers week 2010 designboom visited the DMN design workshop exhibition (vol.11).
together with in-house designers of several companies, the japanese designer naoto fukasawa
is currently organising a series of workshops and exhibitions bearing the name 'without thought'.

Mimpi-mimpi benua Eropa dari Paris Motor Show

Mondial de l'Automobile 2012: Concept Cars Mimpi-mimpi benua Eropa dari Paris Motor Show Oleh Evan Orensten pada 3 Oktober 2012 Paris motor show 2012 mempersembahkan dan memaksa para pembuat mobil untuk melenturkan kembali otot-otot desain mereka pada bukan hanya pada sisi produksi tapi juga dalam hal berkonsep. Inilah dia 7 model favorit yang dianggap cukup mewakili imajinasi bangsa-bangsa Eropa. Peugeot Onyx Sebuah konsep yang nyata—hadir untuk menjadi topik pembicaraan, namun nampaknya tidak akan diproduksi dalam waktu dekat ini.—Peugeot's Onyx terbuat dari bahan tembaga, serat karbon, dan daur ulang koran. The Onyx dibayangkan menjelma menjadi supercar hybrid yang super ringan, namun dibekali mesin V8 demi melejitkan 600 tenaga kuda. Peugeot juga berkiblat lebih jauh lagi, dengan tidak hanya menhabiskan waktu di automobile tapi juga menggugah eksplorasi di dunia transportasi dua roda. eDL 132 disinyalir ditempel oleh batere tersembunyi dan mo...

Tibi & Dabo Robots For Public Spaces

Tibi and Dabo are 2 cute robots designed to provide a wide range of services to citizens in Barcelona’s public spaces. The final shape of Tibi & Dabo came from different conceptualization and development techniques, such as surveys, sociological, iconicity pyramids, and ethnographical tools. These robots are the result from collaboration between the School of Design ESDi and the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), who coordinated the European, funded URUS Project (Ubiquitous Networking Robotics in Urban Settings). Tibi & Dabo are here because the project URUS attempts to analyze and test the idea how robots can interact with human beings in a cooperative way. We can use robots to assist us like when we need transportation of goods or surveillance in urban areas in order to improve life quality. Designer : ESDi and IRI (Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics)
