January 29th, 2010 admin

“Antique philosophers often turned to nature for contemplation. Nature was used as a mirror. The Grass Mirror project revisits, in a way, this idea of contemplation.

Frontiers between nature and culture are blurred. It is the twist (geometric deformation) of the rectangle which reveals this nature. The plants sit in the hollow…

The Mirror Watch is both a handy wrist-mounted mirror and a stylish, chunky LED watch, allowing you to stare lovingly at your own visage while covering up your narcissism with the more socially acceptable combo of watch-glance-and-yawn.

This is a great Japanese house that has a mid century twist. The concrete finish blends really well with the opaque glass to create an intriguing image of what’s behind. Dark grays plus the golden color front door makes this residence stand apart from the rest but at the same time brings calm with the typical Japanese clean interior. http://www.kidosaki.com...

It’s a great example of both an obvious solution and technological overkill: iPhone app developer DLP Mobile’s forthcoming Mirror App will use the iPhone 4’s front-facing camera to show you your own face. A DLP exec promises the app will provide a “crystal-clear high-definition vanity mirror,” and while the iPhone...

Mirror Image is a brilliant project by Eindhoven grad Lotte van Wulfften Palthe where, based on the visuals created by a kaleidoscope, real objects are mirrored and reflected in three-dimensional space. The objects, mostly plastic jugs, retain their function (for the most part) even through the deformation of their shape beyond recognizability....

A new app will turn your iPhone 4 into a mirror, ready to help you apply lipstick or get your hair just right (I’m looking at you, Gadget Lab review supremo Danny Dumas). The combination of a front-facing camera and the hi-res “retina” display turns out to be perfectly for a spot of mobile vanity. The Lady often borrows my iPod...
