o.d.m. Watches

o.d.m.’s newest modern watches, the MY01 and MY02 Reverse Collection, comes from designer Michael Young. Both watches are very sleek. On the MY01 Reverse analog collection, you will not find a side button, but a super large knock-sensor at its face, making it a very unique piece. The wearer can simply tap it to activate the EL backlight function that enables a glow below the button. The minimal design of the three hands allows only their tips to appear on the outer ring of the button for a total new perspective in time.

ABChairs by Roeland Otten

Graphic designer Roeland Otten  had an idea back when he was in school at Design Academy Eindhoven: to make communicative seating. Almost 10 years later, he’s finally fulfilled this dream with help from Fonds BKVB and Materiaalfonds. This prototype alphabet of chairs and stools consists of all 26 letters made from lacquered MDF. Right now, they’re being produced one-off as limited editions, but we hope he’ll find a manufacturer soon to make plastic versions.

IM BACK.

Enough said. Lets Get Busy.

FROM THE HOOP : 3D Short

From the hoop from From the hoop Team on Vimeo.

The story was inspired by the life of Earl Manigault, a basketball player who lost everything in drugs. Near the end of his life he dedicated his time to helping children of Harlem avoid the same fate. It was during this time that he started the “Walk Away From Drugs” tournament for kids. He died in 1998 from a heart failure.

The storyline in the actual film very non-linear and I think it is meant to be more of an abstract subjective interpretation of Manigault’s personal struggle with his inner-demons. It’s a beautiful little short though and the color and animation are really great for a student film. Impressive work

A Good Guess with Taste : The ‘Slip Watch’
