Adidas Guerilla Marketing

The concept store is called Adidas Originals. The over crowded Leidse Square in Amsterdam is home to numerous sports bars and tourist traps, ide al for a public stage of ‘guerilla marketing.’ I'm sure this campaign was succesfoul because those big boxes atract a lot of people and I'm sure they made a lot of pictures.


The Coughing Ashtray

I this does not help you stop smoking - I don't know.

"This ashtray is designed to look like a real pair of lungs. As you place your cigarette on the trough, it starts coughing and screaming as if a real cigarette is being lighted up inside real lungs!

Great novelty gift item for the ardent smoker or for someone who needs help with give up smoking."

Turn Project Buildings into art!

Beton1Beton2

If the would have know that in the 70ies, they could have built the building like that right away.

World-renowned artists are invited to transform Halle-Neustadt into the largest sculptural symphony in the world. The population of Halle-Neustadt is invited to participate in the process of urban transformation. As each vacated building is subsequently recycled and transformed into a sculpture, abandonment and demolition is no longer viewed as a negative process but becomes a celebration for cultural creation, urban revitalization, and identity building.

Red One - a digital video beast

RED camera system

The Red One ain’t your ordinary camcorder. It’s a $17 500 beast that deliver 11.4Mpixel video at a rate of 60 frames per second - way above high definition which means that this can be a ‘cheap’ replacement for formats such as Super 35 mm.

I think that the designer has seen too many science fiction movies though - does it have to look like a prop from Matrix?

Tempodrom Berlin

This must be the oddest looking building in Berlin.

AK Rocker 200

AK Rocker 200
On the manufacturers site The AK Rocker 200 is described as ‘the ultimate media chair‘. I can’t really see what makes it ‘the ultimate one’. As far as I can tell it looks just like a plastic, modern rock chair - what do you think?

The Ladies will love RFID Tags

purse[1]
Never forget a thing, before leaving the house.

A team of six women researchers at Canada's Simon Fraser University have invented a purse called the Ladybag that doesn't let you forget your keys, cell phone, wallet or husband. RFID tags are inserted into your "stuff," and a reader at the bottom of the purse makes sure they're all there before you leave the house. If something is missing, a pattern associated with that item LIGHTS UP on the outside of the bag.

I wish Disney would have been this cruel and let Bambi end like this...

From the auction:

Bambi In A Bottle A Preserved Deer Fawn REAL
