dear all,

i just finished an one-hour-design-competition for core77.

the theme is to design a olympic torch for a certain city.

my choice was berlin.

i t was designed in a modern, elegant style with german character: minimal, clean and sophisticated. in the front of it, we can see the olympic ring, berlin-logo and the german flag.

a quick design, not very special but with a certain quality :)

cheers

11 the Game | amazing beautiful, but for what?

one of my favorite design firms in  europe GRO and a dutch model-making firm Tim just pushed out a study for milan exhibition, 11 the Game, which is based on a conventional Kicker Table, BUT with amazing details.

YES, 11 the Game is really really incredible beautiful with the finest details. with Its elegant, sophisticated looking, it will fascinate many visitor in milan, i am sure about that.

HOWEVER, the game itself hasn't been improved or changed. The core user experience is still the old one. if we look at the whole design process, from concept to production, this design is very close to the end of process. it means, it just changed more or less the shape. the table might be 10 times as expensive as  a normal one, but somehow the old one.

maybe it wil be the best decoration for a high-end club or restaurant, or in Roman Abramovich's home (chelsea's owner).

"Iconization" of Seat

hello dear all,

still my style. i didn"t update for a long long time.

i hope, u don't feel bored :)

(i am getting lazier and lazier)

in this topic, i am writing about the car brand "Seat".

seat, as we know, was used to be a spanish automobile brand.

several years ago, VolksWagen overtook the company.

Seat is not really a very popular brand, that stands always under the spotlight.

It is rather a sub choice of consumer, like skoda, ford and so on.

but in last few years, we can really notice the quality and design improvement of seat.

now, they are trying to build an icon (design identity ) for skoda.

 

"IBIZA" has just come to the market recently, if we compare with its concept model  "Bocanegra". We can see the original sprit of this car. They tried to strengthen and accent the "HEAD PART" arround the logo, to creat a strong image of the face. 

this kine of methode, we may mark it as a design icon of the whole VW group like, AUDI, VW it self. it is also kind of trend. as i mentioned in my article about the vw up concept and the design style toyota.

but Seat, just like its south blood, acts more energic, speedy and young. this quick, sharp lines recall me on BMW (but not as extreme as it). red is the absolute right color to it.

i like it.
