Permalend Breakfast

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Now that the dust has settled from Lendwerbel, here are some impressions of our public breakfast, “Permalend Breakfast”. Permalend Breakfast is an event, part of Lendwirbel, in which people grab some tables and chairs and enjoy breakfast in a public space. We chose “The Square With No Name” opposite the Fluid Forms studio. Dining with Hannes and I were Christoph Steinbauer, Kristof and the Mail Man.

The charmingly weird Karin of Lupi Spuma poped by to have her photo taken with the work of one of her favorite graffiti artist.

Streets Earrings Kickstarted

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

We would like to thank all of these people who have helped to make the Streets Earrings project possible…

Bernhard Weber, Patrick Gregston, Jennifer Vu, Andy  Künz, Otmar Kühner, Katrin Mueller, Brian House, Kristine , Wilbrecht, Petra Grabowski, Jennifer DeMarrais, Julia, Geoff Scott, ahblocky, Susan Ator, Tim  O’Neill, Jaime Wolfe, michael ducker, Tanner Wheat, Bill, Michael Batz, Matt, Jean Briscella, rmok, Marie Wiese, ArtsGloucester, schellmax, Sébastien Deletaille, Laurel, Cheryl Dedes, Will Henderson, Anne-Marie Kovacs, hilary o’neil, Christine West, Emily, elly jonez, Jonas Juenger, Andrea Lombardoni, Helen Fullerton, Ben Hosken, Paulina Adamczyk, Wes Mcgee, Phil Voetsch, candy fischer, Yaffa, Amanda, Naomi Melati Bishop

These are the backers of our kickstarter project to create the first batch of Streets Earrings and this is a preview of what some of them look like. The black parts are what gets etched away.

If you were too late to get into the Kickstarter action, you can now order over the website. We are continuing with the batch order process so those of you familier with Fluid Forms will notice a small difference with the Earrings as opposed to the other Fluid Forms products.

Since producing a single piece would have an astronomical price attached to it, we are now pooling people together so that anyone can take part in the project. Once we have 50 orders to fill up a sheet we make all of them and send them off to you. If you are in a hurry you just have to gather your friends together and show them how to order their own pair. Ever been to a tupperware party? ;-)

If you are interested in selling the Streets Earrings and have your own website you can put the design interface(above) right on one of your own pages. Just checkout the Sell Fluid Forms section of the website. Every piece sold gains you a commission. If you want to sell earrings in a shop you can contact us for bulk prices.

Breaded Escalope

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

On Friday at the opening of the Graz Design Month (German) I met the chaps from Breaded Escalope. Like us, these guys are trying to engage people in the creation process. They call their work design performances. One such product/performance of theirs, the Original Stool, is demonstrated in the video. The project demystifies the production of a plastic stool. The mold inside the ball is flexible and wobbles around as the ball is moved. This process continues over 45 min until the resin has set.

A certain unpredictability is brought to the resulting form. This makes the form a direct result of the interaction that occurred during the setting process. They also have a number of other very interesting projects so check them out at… http://www.breadedescalope.com/
