Hé oui!


Hé oui haha! À Londres, j'ai pissé dans la même toilette que la designer Hannah Marshall durant une semaine sans savoir qui c'était! J'ai découvert son travail (et elle même) des jours plus tard, en étudiant une marque de déodorant!

Connue pour avoir réinventé la "little black dress", elle est, semble t'il, beaucoup critiquée pour sa prétention. Pour ma part, j'ai détesté mon expérience en mode: J'y ai rencontré des personnes superficielles et peu créatives.  En outre, trois petites souris noires travaillaient en retrait dans un bureau de l'édifice chez Juicy Couture (les vrais créateurs). Sous leur couvert timide, ils étaient de loin, les plus sympathiques -et devinez quoi? Marshall en faisait partie-

What you can see at the Design Museum is not just about Kenneth Grange! You can also see the Brit insurance Designs of the year 2011. “The Design Museum’s annual exploration of the most innovative, interesting and forward-looking new work in design of all kinds, from around the world.”(1) http://www.designsoftheyear.com/about/

The exhibition that surrounds an incredible variety of categories (architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive, product, transport) is definitely interesting! Among the 100 projects, you can find the Barclays Cycle Hire, little cousins of the Montreal’s Bixis!

One of the projects I found interesting is the E.Chromi project: A strange gathering between synthetic biology and design by undergraduates of Cambridge University. They created bacteria E. Coli that can secrete colors visible to the naked eye. Potentials uses are explained as colored feces for different types of diseases (If it’s red in the toilet your probably have colorectal cancer, if it’s green aids and etc.).
