Sony roundtable discussion

Some of you might remember that I flew to London in May to participate in a roundtable discussion for Sony Europe. Here are, finally, the videos from our discussion about how technology in the home has changed over the past 50 years; The function of the TV, both in the past as well as in the future; The function of the living room and how the use of that space has changed over time; What the ideal living room looks like; What the future TV will look like.

See more videos from the round table discussion after the jump, or check out Sonys profile on Youtube.

Underfull

underfull_2Just the other day I was attending a traditional Easter-dinner with family and friends, and as always at a party someone spilled their red wine on the white tablecloth. It is almost impossible to avoid, yet somehow it still makes however was the unfortunate one to feel quite bad.

Kyeok Kim

Bilde 1In May 2008 I wrote about the futuristic fashion photography’s from Lucy and Bart. Now I’ve discovered these amazing chairs by Kyeok Kim, and I can’t help but to see the resemblance. I love how they both used the foam-like material as something that takes over the original object and ”grows” on it.
