NY Design Week 2012: DMY at Noho Design District - Core77

Werner Aisslinger’s Hemp Chair is a concept for a monobloc chair made by compressing natural fibers, in this case hemp and kenaf, with Acrodur, a water-based acrylic resin. Unlike other reactive resins, this method releases no phenol or formaldehyde during the cross-linking process. The only by-product of the curing procedure is water. “Design history is driven by new technologies and material innovation,” said Aisslinger. “For us designers, the advent of these technologies has always been the starting point for new objects and typologies in design.”

"There’s just really too much gentrification in the neighborhood now. I wish it would stop."

“There’s just really too much gentrification in the neighborhood now. I wish it would stop.”

- Young white woman in my yoga studio today in Brooklyn (via adriennes)

It is my opinion that the perfect amount of gentrification is that which occurs shortly after I have arrived and found the perfect cafe / bar / yoga studio / garden store etc. Everything else is racist and classist and offensive and should be opposed!

“From their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions—fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming wild things.”

- Maurice Sendak

R.I.P. Carroll Shelby.

We’ve just received the sad news that today - 11 May 2012 - Carroll Shelby has passed away at the age of 89 after being hospitalized for pneumonia.

He was the mastermind behind the AC Cobra, the Dodge Viper (with Bob Lutz), and influential in the development of the Ford GT40.

In tribute to one of the undisputed kings of American muscle cars, here is our story from Top Gear magazine published only one month ago, dedicated to a true automotive legend.

Alfa Romeo 8C Spider - First Drive Review

“Alfa is perhaps the only brand that can credibly deliver both a budget subcompact and a $300,000 convertible. There’s a kind of artistry to that.”

Just found out about this car… Want. It.
