Overwork: the visual
via core77.com's design blog by (author unknown) on May 15, 2008
Work stress: we all have it, few of us do anything about it. Here's the latest photographic "proof" of work stress taking its toll, as this Japanese newscaster goes from "hey!" to gray in a mere three years. He's like the portrait part of The Portrait of Dorian Gray. Thank God tomorrow is Friday.via albotas...

Manufacturing techniques: doing with ice what cannot be done with plastic
via core77.com's design blog by (author unknown) on May 07, 2008
In some of Manhattan's better Japanese-staffed bars, like Tribeca's underground B-Flat, ice cubes are noticeably absent; ordering your scotch on the rocks gets you a large ice sphere. With less surface area than the same amount of ice rendered in cubes, a globe of ice will melt more slowly, keeping your drink cold without making it watery.As an industrial designer, your correspondent...

The reason why many of New York City's portside streets are paved with cobblestones is simple: in olden days, cargo ships from Europe came to America loaded with cobblestones for ballast, unloaded them, and shipped back out laden with New World goods. As the cobblestones piled up, the idea to pave roads with them killed two birds with one stone: new roads made with existing materials that...

Drinking coffee gets complicated
via core77.com's design blog by (author unknown) on January 28, 2008
When did coffee get so complicated? First there's the $11,000 siphon bar and now the Brugo travel mug, above. The latter has a two-chamber system: most of the coffee sits in the bottom, while you tilt the mug to fill a cavity in the top with one ounce of coffee, which cools to a mouth-friendly temperature once separated with its main body. Do we need an airlock for coffee? Good solution, or...

The Dripcut-Starline: the story of a classic sugar shaker's sweet design
via core77.com's design blog by (author unknown) on February 07, 2008
"[It's] iconic, the very essence of modernism, a perfect meld of function and form," says design historian Bill Stern of the Museum of California Design. "There's not a whit of unnecessary decoration...It's made inexpensively but responsibly, so it won't prematurely break or wear out. Viewed at a distance, it is an extremely elegant object."He's talking about the...
