A Mirror From a Certain Point of View.

By Thomas Baekdal | Sunday, January 10, 2010 | Section: design

Mirrors are great for reflecting your image. Some might even say that it is the whole purpose if it. But, Some mirrors are also used as an architectural feature. But, what if you wanted a surface that was opaque when didn't you need it to be a mirror? Maybe it could turn into a kind of foggy surface?

The good people Tetsuo Kondo Architects think that is exactly what we need. They have created this mirror, which is a perfectly normal mirror with a special film on top of it. So it only reflects your image when you are standing directly in front of it.

Kind of cool.

The New Audi A7 Sportback »

Yesterday, Audi revealed their new Audi A7 Sportback. Audi is a master of subtle design (much like Apple), the new A7 isn’t drastic in any way, it’s design simple, yet it convey a very strong image. The only real change is the design of the back trunk.


Spout Lamp »

There is something intriguing and very odd about combining water fixtures and lamps. I wrote about the rough looking lamp, made of steel pipes, a while ago, but now you can get a similar lamp in a more contemporary design.

The famous Hollywood sign in California was in deep trouble last month. Fox River Financial Resources, the company who owns it, wanted to divide that land up into five sites for $40 million luxury homes - effectively taking down the sign to make room.


Remember The Skelewags? »

Many moons ago, back in August 2007, I posted a very popular article about the Skelewags. They are a number of very creative drawings made by Richard Vermaak. Now, the Skelewags are back - big time!


Gumball 3000 Car Wrap »

Earlier last month I was asked whether I had any ideas for a car wrap design for a 2009 Rolls Royce Phantom. The wrap was for one of the participants of this year's Gumball 3000, who wanted to stand out a bit.


Pixels - in New York »

Here is something for all you classic gaming geeks. What if all the old gaming characters from the 1980s broke out and started rampaging through New York?


iPad case Indiana Jones Style »

It was already late in the afternoon when the two horsemen came riding into the camp from the north. Indy was in his tent resting when he heard that familiar deep bellow that he had known for so many years. "Indy!" the baritone called out. Immediately Indy was on his feet and walking outside.


TravelTeq - Laptop Bags »

There are a ton of very beautiful laptop bags on the market, but sometimes you still see something that stands above the crowd. This is the case with these laptop bags from TravelTeq.


Logorama - Pulp Fiction for Brands »

Here is something for all you brand freaks out there. The Logorama short film. It's not for kids, it's nasty, it's cruel - but it is incredibly well made.
