The TAÇA Cookie Dunking Mug

Posted on 08/10/2010 by Mr. Pink

(Note: This is the first post in Epic, one of our new content categories.)

Designer Entresuelo1a came up with a concept for a mug crafted exclusively for the task of dunking large cookies in milk.

It’s just a prototype at this point but there’s no question in my mind that this guy would make millions if he decided to bring this thing to market. I mean, if people are willing to buy a fucking blanket with sleeves sewn to it, why wouldn’t they want something as epic as this?

Firefly Interactive Lighting

Posted on 05/17/2010 by Mr. Pink

From the video description on Vimeo:

Commissioned for Shanghai World Expo 2010, as a part of lighting design of the Urban Best Practices Area, Firefly is an interactive environment displaying behavior that is similar to a cloud of glowing insects.

Sensitive to movements around, fireflies wriggle, light up and scatter when visitors get in touch with them. The cloud alternately disperses and merges… and its shape evolves to take a different appearance, again and again.
