NY design week – icff 2012: logical art's luxe flash drives.

If what we store on our flash drives is important enough to back up lest we lose it forever, why do we toss the physical drives around without a second thought? I used to keep my flash drive on my key chain where it rattled around against relatively sharp metal objects and got crammed into the black hole of my purse, trusting a little plastic cap to keep all my most important files safe. At the designboom mart at ICFF I saw a design team who’s getting people to rethink how they treat their flash drives with a collection made from materials as precious as your files.

Logical Art is a small operation run by Yoo-Kyung Shin and Hanhsi Chen, who spread their time between Korea, Taiwan and the UK. Together they’ve created Empty Memory, a line of flash drives made out of wood, plexi and stainless steel as well as more luxurious offerings in silver, gold and rose gold. The plexi/wood model is the most streamlined of the bunch, whereas the metal drives have a more complex geometrical finish. You can buy them directly from the designers for $75-$95.

about Perrin Drumm

Perrin Drumm is nothing if not a road trip enthusiast. After moving from her hometown of LA to NY and to LA again, she hiked through half a dozen National Parks, snow-shoed a sizable portion of the Adirondacks, and resisted the overwhelming charm of the South to get back to Brooklyn, where she struggles to learn the trumpet, aspires to be a better Scrabble player, and lives and writes, and remains, as of yet, catless.
