Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William – a noted cinematographer – was experimenting with.

In four conceptual objects, Italian and Singaporean design studio Lanzavecchia + Wai re-propose basic nutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, sugar and chocolate as food reserves, which at the same time complement and finish the objects by covering elemental metal structures. Piece by piece the furniture is eroded, exposing a soul, the core-function, which will remain over time. Presented during Milan Design Week 2013 at Padiglione Italia, the ‘Austerity’ collection consists of the ‘Hard Candy’ coffee table, ‘Chocolate’ chair, ‘Grains’ sofa and 'Hardtack' table – each of which can be fully consumed.

The NeoLucida is a 19th Century optical drawing tool updated for the 21st Century. Long before Google Glass… there was the Camera Lucida.
The what?
The camera lucida.

It used to be everywhere.
A portable version hasn’t been manufactured in generations.
And we’re bringing it back.
Really inexpensively.
For artists and art students everywhere. -
