To Do List Animation

This video has been posted all over the place for a while now, but I love the feel and keep going back to watch it and remind myself of the story that it tells, so I thought I would post it up here. On a day to day basis we are all so busy that it is hard to remember to slow down and worry less about our to-do list and do things that are truly fulfilling along with our obligations.

The animation was created by Yaniv Fridman and Daniel Luna with music and sound by White Noise Lab. Check out more of their work, you won’t regret it.

Interdisciplinary artist, Guy Laramée carved these beautiful landscapes from old books and titled the two projects Biblios and The Great Wall. This concept just blows my mind. I am fascinated by creating new objects from old as it is, but this takes it to a whole new level. You can find out more about the artist on his site here.

According to the architect Craig Steely, who designed this structure, Beaver Street Reprise is a conceptually modern house that fits contextually into a Victorian neighborhood in San Francisco, California. It contains an apartment, an office and a split-level living area that opens onto a deck with sod roof.

I love the juxtaposition of the wood facade standing out against the contrast of other houses in the neighborhood, the phenomenal outdoor space and the light-emitting front door. Awesome.

Claude Parent, modernist French architect and the father of oblique architecture designed Villa Drusch in Versailles, France in 1963 using a unique concrete construction. Such a beautiful structure. I could live in a place like this and never have a thought about moving ever again. So right.

Epic original office of Harley Earl, Vice President of Design for General Motors, designed by Eero Saarinen and Associates. Even after 50 years the office is still in mint shape and occupied by the current Chief of Design, Ed Welburn. It’s funny because many of the other people who occupied this office throughout the years didn’t even like the space. It is a miracle that it didn’t get remodeled at some point or another because something great would have been lost forever.

I love the combination of mid-century style, wood, and technology that really reflects what designers of the day considered to be the future. I sometimes wonder what a look back 50 years from today will reflect about our generation’s designers concepts of what the future holds.

Brilliant animation piece done by LOBO based on a speech delivered by Leo Burnett at a meeting to the entire Chicago Burnett office on December 1, 1967, titled “When to take my name off the door”. These words are as powerful and true today as they were then and now can also be enjoyed with a great visual as well.

Dutch designer Hella Jongerius and the Moss Gallery collaborated to take these vintage Herman Miller Eames Lounge chairs and reinterpret them with Maharam fabrics to sell as one-offs in their online store.

This project really caught my eye because of my love for mid-century modern furniture, in particular the Eames’ contribution, but I am not really sure how I feel about it covered in another fabric. It’s a fun idea and they are an interesting take on the chairs, but personally I would choose to opt for the original.
