toshiba t1000: lapable! portable?

written by Matylda in lalala

In Beverly Hills 90210 seasons 1 - episode 18 - ‘it’s only a test’, where brenda thinks that she has a lump in her breast, we made a detection.

THE FIRST REAL LAPTOP - the Toshiba T1000/1987. Imagine taking such ‘monster’ around … I found out that this thing doesn’t know how to crash, in contrast to modern windows machines.
Mr. Gates, what have you done wrong thesedays?

Good Job, Studio Job!

written by Matylda in design

Eindhoven. The Designhuis is presenting an exhibition of Studio Job.
It’s the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel who are widely considered to be among the world’s leading designers today. They prefer the freedom of unique designs - appearing to come out of a fairy tale. The press use to say: It’s love-them or hate-them design. I love them!

DDW: design zoekt kopers

written by Matylda in design

Eindhoven. A lot to see, some stuff to buy.
The Strijp-S had organized a designersmarket. Designers from different disciplines had the change to sell their products. Also the Yksi Shop in the Designhuis gives some possibilites to lose some money.

Here are my ‘hebbedings’:

unfortunatly richard hutten doesn’t have the cup on his website.
but you can buy it in almost every design shop.

Dutch Design Week: first impressions

written by Matylda in design

Eindhoven. Two days of the DDW are over. First I spend my time in the charactersitic Klokgebouw - Strijp-S |http://www.strijp-s.nl/|, which forms the heart of the DDW. Various events are taking place there. You can find about 70 exhibitors: Graduates |www.graduation2007maastricht.nl|, |www.groenehonden.nl| There is also a meeting point where you can obtain detailed information about the DDW. In the Strijp-S café |http://www.kinnyskitchen.nl|, especially designed by Katja Donders, you can get delicious sandwiches, refreshments and cakes. Everything what the hungry design voyeur needs.

For the lazy ones: The DDW Design Shuttles take you daily to any DDW location, at a price of 1.50 € per person and ride, or 5€ for a dy ticket. You’ll find the shuttles at the Strip-S and at the De Witte Dame.

Another hot tip is the TAC |www.temporaryartcentre.nl/|. The reception is build like a chapel where the concierge welcome you with the words: ‘Holy tac’. The center has over 80 ateliers and exhibition places. There are working over 90 TAC-fellows. It is build like a church. Everything is holy. If you are thirsty you can get holy water or holy wine. If you feel that you have to confess you will find a priest. I like the idea of giving a creative center a touch of an institution. But in a playful way. Its’s a design festival in which belief and belief in design are central.
