Have a blank white room in need of an instant color treatment? Consider this glorious rainbow sprinkler by Netherlands-based artist Edwin Deen. Using some color pigment, an electric tap, a few meters of hose and a plain garden sprinkler, Deen transformed a simple garden sprinkler into a smile-inducing artistic device.

Brazilian artist Angelica Dass created the visually stunning project Humanæ, a project that reflects on the colors beyond the borders of our codes by referencing the PANTONE® color scheme. The ongoing portraiture project takes a sample of 11×11 pixels of the model’s face and then matches it to the exact PANTONE® tone. The background is then dyed to the exact tone. All of Angelica’s projects deepen in an important issue: social, cultural and racial identity.

In 2011, we were shown the NeoCover, a nifty magnetic light switch cover. Since then, Jake Frey has redesigned his product and just launched an enhanced version. A just graduating industrial design student and an aspiring inventor, we like that this would be the perfect gift for folks who are a bit absent-minded about any metal things.

Red Design Group is an Australian company that creates creative and exciting environments for retail business across the board (from 7-11 stores to high-end luxury retailers) and they even have quite a space of their own. One of their recent projects was a candy store, also located in Melbourne.
The store was developed for an importer of sugar-free candy called Sweet Enough, who decided to open their own retail shop. They knew that just any old candy store design wouldn’t be enough and they wanted customers to have an experience when in their store, so they brought on Red Design Shop to create a one-of-a-kind design that would have people spending just as much time shopping as walking around checking out the store.
They wanted the design to bring out the inner child of each person who walks inside, so they decided to create a “room” using childlike illustrations. Drawing everything on white paint using a simple black lines makes it feel almost like a coloring book. And, the candy stands out, too!

Derek Manson has created a 3D printed electric guitar composed of suspended polycarbonate polymer “tendons”. The RP Guitar is manufactured in one piece using additive 3D fabrication which is also known as Rapid Prototyping or 3D Printing. The main body is made from a polycarbonate polymer and the central core is CNC machined wood which still allows for excellent tonal properties.
