Fault Line...Really?

From what I know, Design Blogs usually get their contents from the designers themselves. It is a marketing tool for their product or services. Usually!..I am not saying all. I am not sure if this latest product at Contemporist was a submission or Contemporist's original feature. I can't help be bothered.... Haiti's earthquake is still fresh in our minds and recently, a disturbing 8.8 magnitude earthquake shook Chile that created some tsunami frenzy. This design called Fault Line Bench by Cameron Van Dyke surely has it goin for itself for bad publicity. Yeah..it may not do harm...but wow..this timing is unbelievably dicky.

Comme des Garcons' Number 3

I am bringin' a friend (who gives me links to different design sources in the web) to help me discuss design through chat...our conversation went:

Boy Amoeba: Commes de Garcons, Number 3 in Athens.

DD: Booooooring...do you have other designs?

Boy Amoeba: Later... can you just take a look at it.

DD: Yaaaawwwwnnnn....excuse me. where am I? oh... is it a garage sale?

Boy Amoeba: It is just minimalist..

DD: ..Yatzer article sez that Guerilla spent minimal on interiors. Really?..it doesn't show

Boy Amoeba: Sarcastic much?

DD: Look at that..it is like my garage...only clean n white.

Boy Amoeba: It was designed by Dimitris Papadopoulos with Yiannis Kondilis...according to them..their concept is "white light and bright"..yeah it'skind of obvious. But I get this kind of aesthetic. There is something industrial with it...you're right..a bit like a garage ...in a beautiful way.

DD: It feelslike a chic version of a slaughter house. Remember the movie Get Smart? The room where Steve Carell humped the fat villain.... it is like that room...

Boy Amoeba: Huh?

DD: Like a morgue.

Boy Amoeba: ..I can see that.

DD: Now you agree with me?

Boy Amoeba: No

DD: f.you. just admit it.

Boy Amoeba: anyways, I still like it

DD: It is just so....clean..and the lighting is terrible... I can imagine blood splattered all over the wall.

Boy Amoeba: Huh I dont get it.

DD: those are 3 different statements..

Boy Amoeba: I gotta go. later

DD: I am not done yet.
