| IKEA HENJ: 8-Step DIY Instruction Manual for Stonehenge Posted: 08 May 2011 02:04 AM PDT
A little history, a little mystery, and a lot of fun, these playful revisiting of the building of Stonehenge is sure to evoke a chuckle from anyone who has had trouble assembling something ‘simple’ from an IKEA store.
As with actual IKEA instructions, this ‘manual’ by writer Justin Pollard (via Designboom) shows you not only how to do something, but also how not to put the pieces together – a light-hearted debunking of many methods thought to play a part in this ancient architectural wonder.
From giants to wizards, it seems clear that the steps required are not trivial, and, in the end, most (mortal) people may give up and grab a beer before completing their variant of this gigantic do-it-yourself project.
But for those who doubt that it can be constructed by a single person, well, view the video above (unrelated to the farcical manual featured here) and see for yourself. Keep Going – Check out this Great Related Dornob Article:  Edit your submission

| Wild Tables: Real Furniture Animated with Animal Instincts Posted: 07 May 2011 10:05 PM PDT
Four legs leading up to a connective body – it is not hard to see how a table references other living creatures found in nature, particularly in this playful series of weird, wild and wonderful one-off furniture designs.
It should come as little surprise that the designer of this sequence, Toot Chen, is not just a furniture maker, but also a stop-motion animator and graphic artist. His other works share a similarly sly and humorous approach to everyday household subject matter.
In this particular project, he explores the relationship of “interaction, motion & posture” in the form of four-legged tables with bent knees, loping, leaning, sitting and sprawling through various frame-breaking scenes.
Some snake-like lamps are added to the mix as well, in addition to a number of experimental mini-monsters either sketched out with pencil on paper or mocked up using available scrap materials.
The staging shows all steps, including final products but also conceptual and sculptural prototypes and other small-scale variants, like those prototypical models you might find during the dry-run drafting phase of a short stop-motion movie production.

| Hilary Swank Doesn’t Look Pretty in Pink Posted: 07 May 2011 10:04 PM PDT
Hilary Swank doesn’t always look great in her choice of fashion trends, and this time she’s not impressing the cameras with her red carpet outfit.
The Oscar-winning actress and producer was able to land in the fashion blogs for looking like an ice skater at the Los Angeles premiere of “Something Borrowed.” This matching Michael Kors bodysuit and slacks made her look stick thin, not to mention boring and faded. She should’ve just gone more casual at the event if that were the case. Good thing she’s got a good smile while at the red carpet. Oh well, we guess that’s the price to pay for being an “actress,” and not a “celebrity.” Photos by Wenn.com Edit your submission

| Alphabet Cities: Urban Anagrams Treat Maps as Typography Posted: 07 May 2011 06:04 PM PDT
Even before Nolli Map of Rome famously rendered interior public spaces of that city as parts of the open civic landscape, basic figure-and-ground maps have told complex stories with great depth in black-and-white form on paper, canvas and papyrus.
Treating solids as a kind of typography, French artist?Armelle Carnon created a series of poster-style flat wall prints that seek order in the chaotic spirals, winding alleys and misshapen squares of famous cities. A strange and unique, but surprisingly alphabet-like, result emerges.
Berlin, Istanbul, Tamarac and Paris are all recognizable to many from the composite shape of the solids and voids visible on a map, but, surprisingly, those same shapes are meaningful, comprehensible and perhaps even identifiable via the ordered parts alone.
A similarly styled poster is available for sale on the site, “all black, it is at first reminiscent of the test and its Rorschah inkblots drawing various shapes to interpret. Then we see that the planisphere was dismantled, disassembled, as is done for a mechanical. These pieces of a complex motor, different countries and islands that constitute it are carefully aligned: Armelle Caron invites us to a flattening of our world, literally as figuratively, because dismantling graph suggests to reconsider the collective representation, particularly fixed and arbitrary we have geography. Placed next to each other, countries appear to us very differently indeed.”
Other work by Carnon likewise probe hidden depths of city streets and spaces via figure/ground variants, like cut-and-framed relief pieces which, though white on white, use shadow to contrast one type with its opposite. Keep Going – Check out this Great Related Dornob Article: Edit your submission

This unique filming method lends itself to testing the limits of our imagination through the animation – each shot is static, but strung together they tell incredible stories. These stop-motion experiments are simply ‘made of win’, as they say.
The first shows the construction of a Tetris-type shelving unit, each piece passed down from the skies above and shaped into place by the movie’s creator before it can land – brilliantly effective.
This next one leaves people entirely out of the picture, giving life to anthropomorphic lamps, snake-like table lights and flap-mouthed laptop computers – cute yet compelling. Will you be able to look at your microwave oven the same way again? Keep Going – Check out this Great Related Dornob Article: Edit your submission
