The Flat Life by Finn Magee

If Aoiyuu had a digital clock by her bed perhaps she wouldn't sleep in? Wake up!
No longer does Lona need to play music in the dark. Switch on the Light!

A couple of weeks ago I said why not turn your Flick'r photos into a design icon... Well now lets take it a little bit further... Irish designer Finn Magee has combined image and object into one. Using light-emitting doides (LEDs) he has created The Flat Digital Clock and The Flat Light... 

Do they work? Yes.

Turn Your Flick'r Photos Into A Design Icon



It really is time to start using those pictures you have been uploading to Flick'r. 

 It excites me how craft, DIY is capturing this extraordinary time in design history. With the online obsession of Flick'r and blogs it is a no brainer that we are seeing young designers expressing this online past-time in their designs. Textile designer Dorte Agergaard  known for her use of digital printing is inspired by everyday objects that are rearranged and placed in a new context, playing with our notions of normality  "I'm fascinated by ordinary things which surround us in everyday life," says Dorte. 
 
"Throughout design history we have embellished and marked objects to capture the time it was made. This is something we wanted to explore more through our designs" says Stefan Baijings.

Adding digital printing to your textiles or furniture is a fantastic way to update the bland and the boring.

If you do make sure you share them with us.
