V&A Palindrome

Absolutely brilliant work by TROIKA!

The V&A commissioned TROIKA to create a permanent sign for the V&A entrance leading from the South Kensington tube station to the Museum.

Troika responded to this brief with ‘Palindrome’, a kinetic sign that recognizes the rich collection of the V&A as one of the worlds most fascinating treasure homes collecting over 3,000 years worth of cultural artefacts from the world’s most established cultures.

Read Creative Review’s write-up on the deconstruction of the V&A.

“Innovation is almost insane by definition: most people view any truly innovative idea as stupid, because if it was a good idea, somebody would have already done it. So, the innovator is guaranteed to have more natural initial detractors than followers.”

Lecia M9 Titanium

Absolutely beautiful design, although I can’t even begin to imagine how expensive this camera will be.

Designed in collaboration with Volkswagen Group’s Walter de’Silva, the Leica M9 Titanium($TBA) is an exclusive special edition of an already exclusive camera. All the visible metal elements of the camera body are made from hard-coated solid titanium, which is complemented by leather trim taken right out of an Audi interior. Other features include an 18 megapixel sensor, compatibility with Leica’s M-series lenses, an included Leica SUMMILUX-M 35mm f/1.4 lens, and the joy/guilt that comes from being one of only 500 owners in the world.

Meet Firstborn

Take a look under the hood at Firstborn. I’ve been lucky enough to get to know a few of the guys (and girls) at Firstborn over the last few years. They really do have a fantastic team. The quality of work that they’ve been producing lately is beyond amazing.

Make sure you check out all of Firstborn’s work.

“In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.”

Signalnoise Source: 10 PSDs, $75:

I always love seeing how other designers approach their work, and this chance to see how James White, Signalnoise, creates his complex and beautiful artwork is fascinating. I’ll be buying this one later today to dig in.

For those of you who have been around digital for quite some time it might remind you of when Joshua Davis sold his Praystation hard drive. I still have mine sitting around here somewhere.

“People think that design is styling. Design is not style. It’s not about giving shape to the shell and not giving a damn about the guts. Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn’t know it was missing.”
