A Slice Of Pie

Both Sides Of The Story

Forget What You Know

It’s hard to conceive of ideas while avoiding gravity, fragility, and structure.
Bridge makers, furniture builders even bakers swear by these rules.
Humanity depends on them.

If you ignore physics, things tend to break or malfunction.

 

 

Why are we (designers) trying so hard to render reality when we could be working on fantasy?

It can be read as a banal aesthetic exercise, but material tech will surely catch up.
Today’s imaging is tomorrow’s table.

 

 

I want to create and enjoy the intangible.
The elusiveness of only existing as digital gives it more power.

Let’s make trashbytes, with unlimited potential.
No material is lost, and the cost is only a few burned brain cells and a chunk of the electric bill…

The Piazza: An Italian Institution

The fantastic Piazza Ducale di Vigevano.

Flawed But Perfect

A Big Push Forward

The Mom and Pop comeback is going to kick start web 3.0

A slow economy makes people creative.
Wasting little, they turn disadvantages into opportunities.

 

 

This creates a newfound energy that will be concentrated online.

We’re increasingly spending our time/lives on the web.
Everything we love, is online.
Your friends and family, your hobbies, your obsessions, you can find online.

All business will be online too.
Remember when you had to stand in line, instead of doing bank transfers in your underwear?

 

 

Being small means being nimble.
Moving fast, these artisanal companies will stimulate further innovation; fueling more investment,
while driving the internet to new heights of interaction and immersiveness.

Hungry garage upstarts will show us the future of interconnection.
I’m rooting for the web version of L�artigiano Rock.

Trompo Chair

Trompo is an armchair.
blah blah inspired by tops blah
blah probably uncomfortable blah blah

The base could be metal, the top in rotational molded plastic,
lacquered with the shiniest dolphin killing paint.

If you want to help me produce it, drop me a line.
I have a full catalog of unwanted designdreams!
