MoMA Bamboo

This espresso set looks great and the presentation is cool but these cups are unpleasant to drink out of and are a bit prone to dribbling.

PMS 389

This is almost the the high visibility yellow-green color of the fire trucks in parts of New Jersey. The form is cool but the process description is what really makes it unique, interesting and also a little puzziling. "Mi is fabricated from a completely recyclable thermoplastic, derived as a byproduct of natural gas processing"

concept sketch page

I like the composition and style of this concept sketch page by May Wilson. The choice of color for the linework is interesting the the range of forms and colors used holds the page together nicely while still keeping your eye moving around the page. The rest of May's work in on display on Core77.

Ares Rocket logo

I think Ares is the rocket that is the planned vehicle for getting people to Mars. It recently won Time magazine's invention of the year. I thought for sure that it would be something in the medical field this year. This basic technology seems kind of old to be getting invention of the year in 2009, but there must be some under-pinning that I am missing. I read on the alcoa website that the use of aluminum played a critical role in making this possible.
