1960s Braun Products Hold the Secrets to Apple’s Future

Some people will probably call these examples a "rip-off" but, in a world where industrial design and art are constantly being recycled into new work, I just see Apple's products as a great evolution to classic concepts. Now, as I look at Rams' work I can't help but to wonder: which of these old Braun designs will Apple revive next? Is there a MacBook Air—the rumored ultra-slim wire-free portable that seems to be the favorite bet for tomorrow's keynote—in there?

Hopefully, we'll discover at least some answers tomorrow. See you at Macworld! [DesignMuseum, Dieter Rams and O Globo Online]

La piel que habito




L'éminent docteur Ledgard, ponte de la chirurgie esthétique, vit dans une grande maison qui lui sert aussi de labo perso. Il y séquestre Vera, une ravissante patiente, qui se pâme d'amour pour lui tout en affichant de curieuses pulsions suicidaires.

Le film, passé une première demi-heure qui sème de vrais-faux indices un peu partout, remonte le fil. Et celui-ci est méchamment entortillé.



Le désir, le sexe, la pulsion (auto)destructrice et l'identité dans tous ses états.
