Uncommon Creatures is a Copenhagen-based label, Designed by Christina Højris Ottosen and Jens Kold Christensen.

For the fall 2010 collection the designer duo got their inspiration from Orthodox Jewish style. The collection and silhouette is avant-garde while keeping the Scandinavian simplicity.

Pringle of Scotland decided to show their  Spring Summer 2010 collection in form of a creative short film.

Directed by  Photographer Ryan Mcginley and starring Actress Tilda Swinton.

I was introduced to Eric Saeter’s work last year by a mutual friend who knows him from their hometown of Seattle, Washington. It had been awhile since I checked on the progress of his budding design career so I revisited his work to find some nice new additions. Saeter was essentially underwhelmed by what was available in the men’s jewelry world, complaining about a lack of imagination and color. He took matters into his own hands and L’Âge d’Or was born. Lately, he has been experimenting with new material and the result is a collection of some really beautiful and unique works of art.

Curious Displays from Julia Tsao on Vimeo.

Curious Displays is a product proposal for a new platform for display technology. Instead of a fixed form factor screen, the display surface is instead broken up into hundreds of ½ inch display blocks. Each block operates independently as a self-contained unit, and has full mobility, allowing movement across any physical surface.

It has been 2 years since Design and the Elastic Mind was shown at MoMa. I think that the concepts Julia confronts in her creative exploration is not only influenced by her previous degree in science and technology (UCLA), but an example of what Paola Antonelli was trying to demonstrate through her curation of that exhibition. Designers in the 21^st Century are constantly being forced to adapt to the way science is shaping our world. To me, design has always been a device for introducing real emotional qualities to the interpretation of information. Listen to Paola speak about Design and the Elastic Mind on Charlie Rose.

Curious Displays was Julia’s MFA thesis project in the Media Design program at Art Center.

Memento Mori from Mothership on Vimeo.

Despite having worked on older projects including the music video for “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley (with director Robert Hales), Mothership has only recently established themselves as an official transmedia studio representing sunny Venice, California. The young collective has hit the ground running partly due to its affiliation to the Academy Award-winning powerhouse Digital Domain, whose visual sorcery you may have experienced in films such as Titanic and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Through their work, Executive Creative Director Alejandro Lopez says Mothership will demonstrate how “transmedia offers brands the opportunity to integrate directly with entertainment properties instead of standing alongside them.”

We are Mothership, a vessel for creating original transmedia advertising, branded content and entertainment.
