IKEA UPPLEVA -> Smart TV & Sound System

5 years from now we’ll be saying “remember when all of our home electronics had cables sprawling all over the place?”. Nice to see IKEA taking the lead on this.

Notes from YouTube Page:

“IKEA introduces UPPLEVA, a completely new range that integrates smart TV and sound system with furniture. UPPLEVA brings beauty and functionality to the [...]

This is one book I’ll be excited to add to my reading list this Spring. Srsly, can’t wait to read it…

REI -> Flash 62 Pack 360° Visualizer

It’s tough trying to select a highly technical piece of outdoor gear online. Especially a heavy-duty pack designed specifically to carry even more technical gear, there’s a lot to consider and it almost becomes impossible to make a decision without seeing it up close and in-person. That’s why I really dig REI’s smart ‘Flash 62 [...]

Kickstarter is an amazing phenomenon isn’t it? It allows brilliant people to bring their ideas to life by raising the funds to make it happen, this example is no exception.

Audience App -> Google Analytics

I recently purchased this nice new Google analytics visualizer called ‘Audience’ for 99¢ in the appstore. It’s well designed and there are some nice color transitions that occur while looking over your data. Kind of refreshing in comparison to all of the other less designed options that are available.

Try on a New Sofa -> Ikea Video

Ikea has always produced fresh/fun ways to promote and demo their new products online, which makes sense given that their in-store experience is all about doing just that. This video experience is pretty entertaining. The sets are probably the most impressive part to me, with each one so amazingly rich and well shot into. Cool [...]

LIFECYCLE -> 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC

This is a pretty creative take on your everyday 365 project. NYC based ‘Red Peak Branding Company’ chained a fully accessorized bicycle to a post and took a daily shot for a year. You can pretty much guess what happend, but it’s still fun to watch.

Arcade Fire -> Sprawl 2 (interactive video)

The new interactive video experience titled ‘Sprawl 2: Mountains Beyond Mountains’ coming from Arcade Fire feels really fresh and innovative, right down to the dismal, twitchy videography and art direction. In short you get to swing and sway right along with the track with either your mouse or with your own body via the video [...]

DJBroadcast 52 -> Robot Illustration

DJBroadcast 52 – Robot Illustration from Super Silo on Vimeo.

I recently came across this very entertaining timelapse photoshop illustration by Super Silo (Dutch designer, Martijn van Dam) on ilovenewwork.com. Super impressive, and fun to follow. Especially if you’re the type that gets into the fancy photoshop maneuvers.

Volvo -> xctravels.com

You’ve got to love the big budget hyper-immersive branded experiences that come from automotive industry giants like Volvo. For a designer, it’s kind of a dream to work on stuff like this. This particular experience features an inspirational deep dive for adventure seeking Volvo fanboys… the cars, the amazing destinations, the bears… it’s all there. [...]

Light -> Sunday Paper

Light from Sunday Paper on Vimeo.

Nice concept, very well executed. Definitely makes for an interesting view.

Notes from Vimeo:

““Light” a short film directed by David Parker, initially began as a project intended to bring awareness to energy waste. Bleeding, crying lights were meant to metaphorically parallel the way in which we invisibly squander our natural resources [...]
