"Love these, the aesthetic synergy and material contrast is near perfect."

"Not for dogs, for drunk men in the nightlife district.  Told to me by the Japanese guide a few years ago.  Less concerned about saving face apparently.Proofs:A. The height.  Dogs in Japan are and always have been tiny.B. Dogs don't care. People care about splashback."

"As a 90's temporary Las Vegas trade show booth, the aesthetic was a statement. Never realized it was committed to a structure. My mind hurts from all the dumbness of scale and butch metal bravado."

"The British Airways x Burberry generated stuff fails after the first ten seconds of looking at it. There is a sort of CGI sheen that disguises it long enough to scroll past on Instagram and deliver ad revenue somewhere. The design content in that branded blindfold lump? The fat puffy cushion with the disjointed piping? The tilted-back upholstered chair? Onto the airplane interior, lights that will not light up anything. Luggage integrated into the seats, because? Seats are arranged like a bench at the back of a bus, flat against the wall. Towels draped over randomly, British Airways precision? AI is a looming shadow over design. Models that build from design intent and create 3D models as a basis for renders are the next step. chatGPT-4 is going to reveal some of this. Those Midjourney/DALL·E/StableDiffusion renders trying to reverse engineer design jpegs are a dead end."

"This is not just a device, it is a young thinkers vs old thinkers litmus test.  Not everything needs to take place within the two comfortable, safe walled gardens,"

"A little more utilitarian looking version is common to see worn by workers in the summer here in Hokkaido."

"The Hourglass from Ikepod on Vimeo.Both nice projects, in the Ikepod video, final filling hole seal is a resin?"

"""They have succeeded in inventing a colorless acrylic glass almost as transparent as crystal," Laurent Jaurey enthuses. "Unlike other polymers, Altuglas® ShieldUp provides an unparalleled balance in terms of resistance to shocks, scratches and cleaning products," states Jean-Marc Boutillier, Altuglas® R&D Engineer.""Usually made of neoprene, in this case, the ankle strap that attaches the surfer's foot to their board is manufactured to haute-couture standards using vegan leather made from apple skins." https://www.arkema-americas.com/en/media/news-overview/news/The-StandUp-by-LOEVA-and-Altuglas-ShieldUp-crystalline-transparency/ Invisible, airtight bonding of transparent PMMA and white painted Carbon fiber.  The chance that this looks anything like the renders above, razor slim. "

"Maybe "riffing off the Peleton" would be a better subtitle.  Would be a bold IP claim to think Peleton owns that screen commonality."

"Bending fibers into a weave (especially with thicker "bundles" of low modulus fiber) decreases stiffness and increases flexibility and chance of load collapse.  Seems counter intuitive in this application."

"Helmets are for lessening an impact on your brain.  Everything layered on top, led lights in this example, are another hard point that can increase forces., requiring extra thickness.  When crowdfunding young designers take a big swing at a bike helmet the first factor they think is thin,  "let's beat that awful fat head aesthetic"  However,  the reason helmets have a standard thickness, is because that is what is required to pass testing, not because clueless old companies never thought of making a thin design.  The design is nice, a derivative of Sweet helmets, in a helmet that will pass certification at the rear and brow, the thickness with a hard led bar is too thin, will never meet the G forces required.  The design will be delayed as they retool thicker and thicker versions until it looks nothing like what they sold. And everyone will be older and wiser."

"️ Applaud the transparency for facial communications, however, everything other design choice is unusual.   Shatterproof?  The whole product seems like it should have been iterated a few more times.  The seal on the edge of the inflexible glass is not at all convincing."
