August 2009

Hailing from Argentina and currently residing in London, England, designer/illustrator Gianluca Fallone has an impressive portfolio, having done work for the likes of MTV and Nike.

The central idea in this project was to create a container for living and working that whilst still engaging with all the site issues of the industrial neighborhood, enabled us to take a thread from the first cocoon we spun for ourselves in Wye River and weave it into the fabric of this next home for ourselves.
The building is wrapped on three sides in a translucent printed skin, the third side allows for Northern glazing.

Entitled “Let Me Free”, Plein’s fall collection was inspired by Gus Van Sant’s 1985 film, Mala Noche. The film’s setting of Portland echoed a sentiment of grunge and dodgy characters that speaks to the collection’s flannels and simple layers that interestingly enough are quite colorful. Plein joins a list of labels seeking to submerge themselves in the grunge aesthetic and its not a bad idea. Compared to the current trends that are quite neat in makeup, an overall rebellious dishevel would be refreshing.

For his self initiated project car designer nils poschwatta imagined 'creature guard', an institution that protects endangered animals and any kind of organism that needs help.

Shown here is 'creature guard team 02', which consists of a pilot and a bionic sting-ray. poschwatta created the 1:4 scale model of the pilot and vehicle using clay.
