On the Forum

If you are familiar with Design Addict, you surely noticed that there are a lot of talented people who express their opinion and questioning in our Forum. We have decided, every now and then, to draw your attention on subjects which seems to us worthy of interest.

So here are the subjects of this week:

Real Estate and Design

Is High Concept Engineering Eclipsing Design in Architecture?

And another one just for fun: laughably crap replica

Nubrella

Another new product that we can't live without!
Those who have followed the thread in our forum about the film offering the vision of the future by General Motors in the Fifties will be delighted to see that eccentric projects still exist in the 21st century.

Who knows, for those who are not afraid of being ridiculous, Nubrella is perhaps an effective alternative to the umbrella. In any case its promoters seem convinced about it.
Let's thank them for a good laugh at the photograph; the man on his bicycle is an involuntary comic.

For those who would doubt it, Nubrella is a true product that you can buy (or not) for $60.

Nelson Clocks - Theme and variations

The variations are a popular exercise in all forms of art, visual as much as musical. In the field of design, the clocks by George Nelson and the designers from his studio are one of the rare examples of a line of products that seems infinite.

Some brilliant hunters in our Forum decided to gather a maximum documentation about them. As passion doesn't have any limits, they overflowed this initial subject by digging out clocks created by other talented designers.

The contents is so rich that it was divided into different threads... and the quest is not over.

Part 1: Nelson eye clock 1

Part 2: More about Nelson Clocks 2

Part 3: More about Nelson clocks 3

Part 4: Still more about Nelson Clocks 4

Part 5: Still more about Nelson Clocks 5

Part 6: Even still more about Nelson Clocks 6

What will be the next subject of research? Jens H. Quistgaard's pepper mills? It would be a beautiful homage to this great designer who recently disappeared.
