What Da Tree!

On July 21, 2010 By

Just like “Whose Line is it Any­ways”, two mil­lion points for guess­ing what this is! No prize money, but a big round of applause from us! Hint: It’s not a TREE! The Toaster Tree….it’s got fancy trans­par­ent leaves that hold your bread, till they are done. Trans­par­ent nano-electric mem­brane tech­nol­ogy is what the designer cites in sup­port of the crisping/browning ele­ment; I sim­ply adore the thought of a leaf-pattern singed to my toast. Please some­one remove the kinks and flaws (in design and tech) to make me a happy Toaster Tree!

A fab­u­lous design comes to my inter­net doorstep today, Amar Vaya, a designer who takes extra philo­soph­i­cal time in design­ing a car, one called Axiom in this case. Branded with the Audi name, the Axiom is an exer­cise in empha­siz­ing the idea of “beauty” within the tra­di­tion of Audi’s idiom. What’s that mean?

by Jaime Gross In con­junc­tion with ‘Tech­noCRAFT,’ an exhi­bi­tion at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Cen­ter for the Arts that explores the fad­ing bound­ary between the role of designer and con­sumer, cura­tor Joel Shep­ard has orga­nized a mat­inée film series, ‘Some­thing From Noth­ing: Films on Design and Archi­tec­ture.’ The eight Sun­day screen­ings cover a broad range of satel­lite sub­jects in the design uni­verse, from the “con­tem­po­rary craft­ing com­mu­nity” (‘Hand­made Nation,’ Sep­tem­ber 5) to the avant-garde archi­tec­ture of Rem Kool­haas (‘Rem Kool­haas: A Kind of Archi­tect, August 22).
