Transformers

I love love love technology that is innovative, efficient AND attractive, so when I saw this video I was into IT. I love when beds hide into walls, things turn into other things and everything is super minimalistic and clean (the reason that I love Ikea... oh, and the meatballs obviously). It's exactly the way I'm going to have to furnish my future shoebox of an apartment. I love all of the brilliant ideas presented by Ron Barth, the president of Resource Furniture, in this video. 





How cool, right? Check out their website for more space-saving options! I'm so impressed!

Shoes of the Future

Everyone loves DIY... and SHOES. So when I came across United Nude's futuristic DIY shoes, I thought they were just the coolest. The Moon Life Project, started by Alicia Framis, is all about the possibility that humans will live in space in the future. Framis gave artists, architects and designers the chance to design concepts for everyday items we would use in our future environment, and they came up with some great stuff.


Made of carbon fibre, wire, laces and leather, United Nude's flatpack shoes are made of various pieces that can be slotted and laced together in less than 20 minutes for the pair. How cool! Check out the photos below and be sure to check out The Moon Life Project's website to see the rest of the groovy concepts!

What would you guys design for living in space? I'd want to find a way to bring my favourite steak and potatoes and eat them in a less dehydrated, irradiated type way. One day, right?

Rue La La

Here is another online magazine for yall. Like Matchbook Magazine (from last week), Rue Mag is also free and wonderful! You should definitely check it out. Why not, right? It's easy on the pockets AND super colorful/ nicely organized. I recommend viewing in full screen mode so it's easier to scroll through the pages.

I esp. recommend the section that covers the "skill-sharing jamboree" which sounds like a great/cute idea if you've got a bunch of crafty friends. Could be a good weekend activity?
