inspiration

I wonder what the inspiration was for this stadium concept?

I just saw this diagram on the Manifold design website. It looks like they are doing something different here. Really nice innovative and clear diagram.

Black and decker

Mentioned in previous post.

This is a fine interpretation/adaptation of a group of emerging form and detail trends beings seen first in auto a few years ago and now in consumer electronics and (surprisingly) hardware. Hardware's showing is especially noteworthy because we traditionally think of them as following the auto trends by several years and more specifically, following electronics interpretation of the trend rather than forming their own. This can be seen well in the B&D VRX. The individual elements include: a renewed emphasize on tactile textures, contrasting colors, soft-blocky forms and use of conics over splines.

Honda?

It is a shame to see honda getting sucked down the same hole as so many of the other companies trying to create an irreverent form language that is more vehicle for personal expression than for life. If they would stop trying to find a gimmick to appeal to the younger demographics and pay attention to wants they would be way better off. And, It looks like that are cutting and pasting the details of other concepts into this...and cheesing off of the 021 too. Oh and unless they are going to be selling Clinique I think the color is off.

still works

Aside from the patterns and the ground clearance I think that this might become timeless.

on the go

This new product from Rubbermaid has some noteworthy details. The flip away spout-cap is especially interesting as is the use of the classic bulging form. Even molded-in as a texture break, I am not sure that the extra large logo is working and I am not sure that the Graves-esque color is going to have the mass appeal they usually look for...I have not seen the Kiwi color in person but I am sure it is better than the pale blue.
