Sarah Van Gameren

Sarah Van Gameren’s design explores the manufacturing process and how accidents can also be beautiful. She is currently the designer in residence at the London Design Museum. Shown above are samples of her work ‘Big Dipper’ which shows the process of creating candles using complex clockwork machinery. The results are amazing, with each ‘chandelier like’ candle containing it’s own individual intricacies.

If you’re in London you can go and see her work at the Design Museum or I noticed yesterday a big dipper machine in a shop next to Design Guild on Kings road.

Naked Light

I really wish I had a mac right now. Naked Light provides node based image editing, not dissimilar to video compositing software. What this means is, as they put it on the site, non-destructive image editing which basically allows for multiple levels of undo as well as adding and removing filters at any point in the document’s workflow. Damn cool! Not a photoshop killer obviously but, Naked Light looks like it will be fun to mess around with.

TED

TED stands for technology, entertainment, design and according to the website, it began as a conference in 1984. It’s obvious TED has evolved over the years and the website definitely reflects this with hundreds of video talks of people who are the leaders in whichever field they represent. Definitely a place to go to get inspired.
