Calendreco is a perpetual wall calendar, designed by Dessi Ivanova, composed of one oversized board with the month’s numbers (1 – 31) and three additional headers with different weekday combinations. Depending on the month, the corresponding header is placed in front of the board to indicate the date. With one simple adjustment every month, the calendar can be used year after year.

Canadian designer Yana Kilmava has developed a conceptual product that would help the novice artist have more confidence in learning how to paint. Virtuo looks very similar to the traditional paint pallets used by artists for hundreds of years, with the added bonus of modern technology. There are no wasted paints, no confusing mixing of colors and you don’t have to be an experienced artist to create really beautiful pieces of artwork. Virtuo includes an art pallet, a charger, 5 different art tools and works by electromagnetism so no worry about quick battery loss. Even though it was designed with the inexperienced artist in mind, Virtuo can also be used by the more professional digital artists who are also experienced in the traditional forms of creating art. At the present time, Virtuo is only in concept form.

Monolite is a lamp that combines light, sounds, distractions and evocations. At random times during the day, it reduces ambient light and an electroluminescent fractal pattern is displayed through cubes on the upper half of the device. The cubes are placed at various depths to form an abstract image. It’s only possible to see the pattern standing directly in front of it. This provides “distraction”, breaking the rhythm of time and creating a moment in time and place. The fascination goes on if you decide to get closer to the lamp, because you’ll hear “one minute of somewhere else”, ambient recordings of an unknown but real place evocative images, landscapes, voices, and feelings.
Halloween is fast approaching!
I have compiled my 15 favorite pumpkin carvings that I’ve come across so far this October. Halloween is around the corner, and I’ve been looking for inspiration in creating some sort of carving unlike anything I’ve ever carved in years past…
