  • Real 3D Sketches: 3 Furniture Sets that Draw on 2D Doodles

    [ By WebUrbanist in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

    3d sketch furniture set

    Like photo-realistic art in reverse, these three-dimensional objects are carefully crafted to look like rough-edged, hand-sketched representations. If the approach looks familiar, you might be recalling our previous coverage of work by Daigo Fukawa from the Tokyo University for the Arts.

    In this series, Jinil Park indeed also with sketches of this chairs, table and lamp set. The artist then hammered wires to create variegated metal lines in the air that look convincingly like those one would expect to find where pen meets paper. These pieces were then welded together to form the finished products.

    3d line minimalist vases

    If the first set seems to have too fine a point on things, you might prefer the subtler work of Maya Selway instead. This designer has crafted a series of vessels made to look like minimalist outlines. Each piece is perfectly balanced to create the illusion of incompleteness while still being able to stand on its own.

    3d furniture design process

    Speaking of the intersection of 2D and 3D, any article would be remiss not to mention the remarkable work of FRONT, a group that takes virtual 2D-captured sketches (drawn by hand in the air) and turns them into 3D-printed models.

    A camera-linked computer program extrapolates the form from the gestures of the designers, then extrudes a corresponding shape with surprising (and increasing) accuracy coupled with a strong touch of whimsy (like a 3D Doodler writ large).

  • Performance Architecture: 10 Dramatic Opera Sets & Stages

    [ By Steph in Architecture & Public & Institutional. ]

    Amazing Opera Stages Main

    Magnificent, surreal stages rise from the depths of Austria’s Lake Constance, rotating, glowing, rising and falling in time with the plots of famed operas, plays and musicals. Unparalleled in their scale and complexity, these stages are built every two years for the Bregenz Opera Festival, which began in 1946. With each season that passes, the sets get even more impressive. Here are 10 standouts.

    Andre Chenier

    AMazing Opera Stages Andrew Chenier 2

    Amazing Opera Stages Andre Chenier 3

    Looking like the remains of some fallen civilization, a statue emerges from the lake, its head draped. Then the fabric begins to fall away, revealing a set of stairs that lead right up to the figure’s eye. This interactive set for Andre Chenier, an opera set during the French Revolution, grows even more amazing as the night goes on: the neck of the statue is severed, the head falling back to reveal an additional set.

    A Masked Ball

    Amazing Opera Stages A Masked Ball

    Amazing Opera Stages A Masked Ball 2

    A massive skeleton looms over an open book as the scene for A Masked Ball, an opera by Guiseppe Verde. One of the Bregenz Festival’s most iconic sets, this one from 1999 is fairly simple compared to the amazingly complex ones seen in more recent years.

    Tosca

    Amazing Opera Stage Tosca

    Amazing Opera Stages Tosca 2

    Puccini’s Tosca played out against this unforgettable backdrop, which featured a giant eye with an iris that actually rotates to reveal a hidden room. Scenes for the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace were filmed in the front of the building and in the audience while this stage was still active, in 2008.

    La Boheme

    Amazing Opera Stages La Boheme

    The 2001-2002 seasons of the Bregenz Festival featured three giant bistro tables and chairs for Puccini’s La Boheme, one of the world’s most popular operas.

    Aida

    Amazing Opera Stages Aida

    Life-sized replicas of the Statue of Liberty – or at least, bits and pieces of it – made a dramatic setting for a contemporary adaptation of Verdi’s Aida, symbolic of the breakdown of human rights. The pieces were mounted to cranes, and seemingly floated up into the sky at various points in the opera.

    Carmen

    Amazing Opera Stages Carmen

    Though not as surreal as many of the other sets,  the 1991-1992 stage for Georges Bizet’s Carmen was no less epic.

    West Side Story

    Amazing Opera Stages West Side Story

    Abstract representations of a rather futuristic-looking city rose and curved as a surprising stage for Leonard Bertstein’s musical West Side Story in 2003.

    The Magic Flute

    Amazing Opera Stages Die Zauberflote

    Last seen at Bregenz nearly twenty years ago with this magnificent rocky stage, The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflote, presented in German with English subtitles) will return for 2013 and 2014 with a new set.

    The Troubadour

    Amazing Opera Stages Troubadour

    Il Trovatore, or The Troubadour, had a very industrial-looking stage – a recreation of an oil refinery in stark red, which spewed fire from those smokestacks during its run in 2005.

    Fidelio

    Amazing Opera Stages Fidelio

    A prison rears up right amidst a life-sized Cardiff street as the set for Fidelio, an Italian opera about insidious evil in the world.

  • Colorful & Cozy: Striking Series of Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets

    [ By Steph in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

    Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets 1

    Packing maximum function into tight spaces, Italian furniture maker Tumidei offers bright lofted bedroom sets with everything a kid needs built right in. These modern, compact and often modular all-in-one interiors hide extra beds under platforms, elevate study spaces and include lots of storage room.

    Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets 2

    Available in virtually any color scheme, Tumidei’s lofted bedroom sets for children and teenagers have lots of slide-out components that save valuable square footage when not in use. Beds disappear under elevated platforms that take advantage of ceiling height to maximize available space.

    Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets 3

    Many of these sets are ideal for multiple kids sharing a room, offering distinct space for each child without sacrificing looks and organization. Twin beds are placed on top of cabinets to keep clutter at bay, desks are shared and stairs double as drawers.

  • Married couple sets Crossfit World Record at NorCal Regionals for Tamalpais CrossFit..

    Very humble husband and wife team, Meshelle and Chad take setting a new record in a CrossFit regional workout in stride. Watch their full workout, and hear commentary from the coach Michael about the strategy for Meshelle, and Chad at they broke the CrossFit world record in team workout #3 on 5.19.2012 at Northern California Regionals. …To me, this is what CrossFit is about. Don’t be shy, all fitness levels are invited to their gym in San Rafael Ca. Give these great folks a holler, and check them out! Website- www.tamcrossfit.com Facebook- http Twitter- Tamalpais CrossFit (@tamCrossFit) A quick note, I opted to roll with the continuous workout shot for the full experience rather than edit. The result was a bit of unfortunate pans, and camera shakes as the whole thing was shot on a consumer tripod in the stands at full zoom, no image stabilization with people walking by. The thumps and bumps are often from the folks around me cheering! Definitely not a perfect shoot, but one I will always remember.. Well done guys! All music officially licensed through pond5. Shot and filmed on a canon t3i, kit lens, and Nikkor -qc 1:2.8 135mm using Fotodiox pro kikon-eos adapter. edited/corrected in Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 11 by www.RobertDBrown.com
