Is our virtueColombo phones and Joe Colombo himself
UK designer Tej Chauhan has designed some killer retro-futuristic telephones, named the Colombo One and Colombo Two (photo above) after designer Joe Colombo.
Joe Colombo had a short but impactful career in design, from just 1962 until his untimely demise, at age 41, in 1971. In addition to working on furniture for Alessi and Kartell, Colombo was fond of producing hi-tech interiors that featured touches like TVs that disappeared into the ceiling and panels that rotated to reveal hidden bars.
You can read more about Colombo’s work here, and if you happen to live in Graz, you’ll be able to catch the last installment of the Vitra Design Museum’s Colombo retrospective, “Joe Colombo: Inventing the Future.”

Talking in Circles
A cell phone concept that doesn’t take its inspiration from candy bars and shellfish; Michael Laut’s simple but beautiful Radia concept is a circular touchscreen surrounded by brushed aluminum.

Solid Alliance’s USB FoodHub
Core77- The world of USB doodads is far too vast for us to plug every single newcomer, however Solid Alliance’s new USB FoodHub really stirs up the whole gag memory pot. It’s kind of like SA’s USB sushi deal, but much stranger and not as delectable-looking. The maggot ball-like Rice Tomato hub has ports for four individual 1GB USB drives: a Fried Shrimp, Fried Crab, Hamburger patty with mystery sauce, and Purin (something that resembles a tall flan)–all served up on a plate. While we wouldn’t go near this food combo in real life, gross-out campiness works well for flash drive fun times.

Call For Entries To Undertake Redesign Of 10 Items To Improve Everyday Living In Singapore
(1888PressRelease) March 31, 2007 – The search is now on for better designs for these 10 items as the project moves into its next phase. Phase 2 kicked off today with the launch of a Competition, along with an exhibition and a Designers’ Marketplace.
Owners of some of the 10 top-voted items included the National Environment Agency, Land Transport Authority, Housing Development Board, and National Parks Board. Representatives of these organisations presented the current scenario, challenges and expectations from the future items, services, or places that will be redesigned. This was followed by a Question and Answer session which enabled participants to clarify the nature of the design challenge.
Interested participants for the Design Competition can find out more details on www.10touchpoints.com.sg. The 10 design briefs can be picked up by the exhibit panels or downloaded from the 10TouchPoints website. Registration ends on 15 May 2007, while the call for submissions will end on 16 July 2007.

Cow Parade
cowparade is the world’s largest public art event. Starting with chicago in1999 the event has travelled
to cities all over the world such as NYC, london, athens cowparade continues to evolve, not just in size, but in creativity and quality of art.
While the cow sculptures are always the same, each city’s artists are challenged by the art from past events, inspired by the cultural influences of their respective cities, and moved by their own interpretation of the cow as an art object. At the conclusion of each event, the cows are herded up and many are auctioned, with a substantial portion of the proceeds benefiting charity.
