Benjamin Hubert x NAVA – Plicate Watch

Posted: 10 May 2012 04:00 AM PDT

Benjamin Hubert x NAVA   Plicate WatchIn designing the latest watch for an Italian accessories brand NAVA, British designer Benjamin Hubert set the task of challenging the conventional notion of watches. It is obvious by looking at the finished product, that there are several elements, which gives this watch a distinct aesthetic. First thing that jumps into the eyes are the 3D face, constructed like a fan, showing time without the need of bars or numbers. Second improvement comes in the form of revised strap closure, eradicating the use of buckles. Last detail is slightly subtle, yet it serves a great purpose especially in the summer season. The corrugated underside of the polyurethane wristband helps to ventilate, thus minimizing the development of sweat. There will be four versions of these watches available from NAVA in the near future.

Instagram Socialmatic Camera Concept | By ADR Studio

Posted: 09 May 2012 11:00 PM PDT

Instagram Socialmatic Camera Concept | By ADR Studio

ADR Studio (aka Antonio De Rosa) presents the Instagram Socialmatic Camera concept, modeled after the Instagram icon (which itself was modeled after a Polaroid instant camera), that not only posts pictures to Instagram but prints them out directly from the camera — courtesy of the built-in ink-jet printer and paper tray — in much the same way a Polaroid would. The concept would also feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, optical zoom, 16GB of storage, a 4:3 touchscreen, two different lenses, a QR code reader and webcam functionality. The photos would print on sheets with a glue strip similar to a Post-it note, plus a QR code allowing Socialmatic users to follow the photographer on the photo-sharing network. The concept is a novel one, and we wouldn’t be surprised if we eventually see the Instagram Socialmatic Camera on KICKSTARTER.
