Alberto biagetti for post design.

Jul 20, 2012

click > enlarge

Milanese designer Alberto Biagetti‘s on trend 2012 collection for Post Design perfectly fulfills his Atelier’s motto of blending “fashion, art, design and architecture without distinction, creating a bridge between established forms of expression and new digital ones.” The tables, side tables and credenzas are ultra streamlined, combining traditional minimal forms and materials (spare cubes, glass, metal) with more contemporary choices, like pairings reflective surfaces with brass in pieces of furniture that look so luxe they’re more like semi-precious jewels, complete with display cases for your most precious things.

The same spindly, geometric base is echoed in the arm chairs – delightful miniature versions of the ombre sofas, the most striking of which sets off ho-hum beige with au courant neon yellow. If you don’t think you can rock day-glo furniture, the gray-to-navy version is still a progressive choice, albeit a more subdued one.

While the shapes are rigorously cubic, the seating is actually made with memory foam padding, so they’re extremely comfortable, too. Once again, Biagetti has designed a collection that is both luxurious and spare with unexpected colors and materials that add edge to longterm investment pieces.

Germany's gigantic, neon feel-o-meter

Dec 21, 2011



Though their names make them sound more like members of the German aristocracy, Richard Wilhelmer, Julius von Bismarck and Benjamin Maus are the three designers behind Germany’s new Fühlometer, or Feel-O-Meter, an interactive art installation that reflects the mood of Lindau, where it was mounted atop a lighthouse.

Also known as the giant smiley face in the sky, the face changes from happy to sad based on the moods of those who pass by. A digital camera set up along the lake captures the faces of people walking by. Their faces are then analyzed in a computer program and classified as either happy, sad or indifferent. The neon face changes based on the amount of nearby smiles or frowns.

Though I’m not sure I’d like to see my bad or indifferent mood projected for the world to see, I’d love to set up one of these babies in cities all over the world and collate the data to see where people are the happiest. Any guesses as to which cities would come out on top?
