This stuff is awesome - it's part of a show from Harvest by Haroshi called Skate and Destroy currently showing at plsmis gallery in Tokyo, Japan until the 27th Feb. All the artworks have been created with old worn, or snapped, skateboard decks.
At BGreenNow this is the kind of action we like to see and support.
Well done to Sophie, Caroline and Nat for their efforts and good luck with the Three Trees project.
About Three Trees
Vastly experienced, Three Trees’ founders, Sophie Thomas (thomas.matthews), Caroline Clark (Lovely as a Tree) and Nat Hunter (Airside) will continue to run their respective award-winning design practices while working within the industry to share their collective 25 years’ experience in creating effective sustainable design.
When it comes to sustainable design, there are no excuses. Sooner or later our industry will have to rise to the challenge. As creativity is our business, we should be comfortable with the notion of making our design work that bit harder; creatively and for the environment.
Interesting project by Steve a Plan-B Studio. To celebrate 10 years in business he is going to donate 10 days a month to a different Non-Profit/NGO organisation each month. He's offering to do anything from give up his creative expertise to working in the soup kitchen - will be following this one to see how it all goes for him.
If you are a Non-Profit/NGO organisation drop him a mail and see if you can take part steve@plan-bstudio.com
Creative review articulate some of the views on tablets and the future of magazines we've been discussing at Function/Form since the arrival of the iPhone and the future of tablet/touch devices.
Great use of both Google Earth and the power of the cloud to map and monitor deforestation rates around the planet. Nice work
Really like the simplicity and overall design of this great modular storage system from Housefish in the US. Key is a new highly modular storage system that ships flat and assembles easily- the only tool you need is a hammer. The parts are cleverly joined into an exceptionally strong structure by machined aluminum tenon keys. The wood is sustainably harvested, FSC certified maple or walnut plywood, finished with a zero VOC finish. Key is our effort to redefine what sustainable, green, modern furniture can be. Available with optional sliding powdercoated metal doors in a variety of colours.
Wishing I was in London to see this exhibition both for Rams work but also the great exhibition design by Bibliothèque.
