This week's MoCo picks.
+ Alexander Gorlin Architects' Ruskin Place Townhouse in Seaside, FL @ Arkinetia. "This house was conceived of as both critique of the architectural style that has developed at Seaside, Florida and as an affirmation of the city’s urban code.".
+ Lloyd at TreeHugger sees the All Terrain Cabin up close. See more here.
+ Studio Aisslinger's Books, "A module-like structure made out of books which are conjoined with metal connecters to form a supporting wall.". Via DESIGNSPOTTER.
+ Bert en Dennis' Hotcloth @ Core77, "integrates heat and fire-resistant fibers (used by the actual fire department) into 3 areas designated by gas burner-like graphics where hot pots and pans can be placed without a trivet or pot holder.".
+ Marie-Louise Gustafsson's Table of Trash, "A desk literally throwing itself into the waste basket. I like the idea of visualizing the cycle of trash and the possibility reusing trash in a constructive way.". Via aptbroadcast.
+ Joana Ozorio de Almeida Meroz's Drain Eye-Catchers. "Performing one of the dirtiest jobs in the house, these hair-catchers are also eye-catchers, adding perhaps a little pleasure to the user when facing the task of doing the dishes or cleaning the sink.". Via happy mundane via Style-Files.
+ Miam-Miam Cappuccino Towers, "A high tech fusion of stainless steel and porcelain create a pocket of insulation between the walls to maintain the temperature of your favorite beverage for maximum flavor.". Via Josh Spear.
+ Eve Faucet by KWC @ Apartment Therapy, "Designer Michael Lammel came up with the concept for Eve from a childhood memory of his grandmother washing vegetables from the garden. Lammel says, She had thick glasses and couldn’t see very well, and my sisters and I always had to search for dirt in our salad...".
+ Marcel Wanders' Moooi Carpets model 1. Via imedaGoze.
+ Erik Bagger's Ice Scraper for Rosendahl @ Yanko Design, "It has a soft scraper for dew and a hard synthetic side for ice.".
+ IMM Cologne trends slideshow (in german). Via TRENDOFFICE.
+ And IMM Ideal Houses by Naoto Fukasawa and Zaha Hadid @ Dezeen, and more @ designboom.
+ Habitat VIP For Kids @ Daddy Types, "I would have loved to be in the room when Habitat finalized the list of celebrity designers who would be invited to create their new VIP For Kids collection of furniture, toys, and objects".
+ Lisa Solomon paint chip art, "She's drawn to found objects – altering them conceptually so that their meanings and original uses are re-purposed. She often fuses 'wrong' things together: tanks made of bright pink felt, sewing onto paper, hunted animals on rifle targets, or 'fighting' cute clouds.". Via design*sponge.
