REBLOGGED from FAST COMPANY
.Designed by D-BARCODE.
from The Fast Company:
“They’ve even begun selling their wares to anyone who wants to license them, starting at $1,500 for the design, and $200 a year for licensing. A custom or exclusive use code will run upwards of $4,000–but given that companies spend millions on designing a single package, why don’t we see more detailed thinking like this?”

Secret Stash by Yi-Ting Cheng.
“This project is about concealing valuables, secrets, bad habits and personal information in our workplaces. Here, hidden spaces/ messages were created within 8 general objects such as wood boards, lamps and disposable coffee cups.
Why doing this?
We all have the need of hiding.We hide our valuables from being stolen, we conceal our past from our loved ones, we never show our real side to colleagues, we all have secrets. Or, sometimes we just want to keep something only for ourselves.
How?
Utilize stereotypes and visual camouflage.
We make judgments based mainly on our experiences and what we see. This dependency on visual information can create large blind spots. Thus, usual stereotypes of how we perceive solid, transparency and lighting are employed in this project to play with notions of ‘solid and void’, and ‘true and false’. ” from Vimeo.
Here’s a video all about it.
FROM 2009, But I think that it still deserves to be blogged about today.A nice reminder that sometimes it is the simple designs/ ideas that produce the most interesting and necessary products, for example here we have a RCA student , Choi, who has designed an alternative and much much thinner three pin plug. As the designer Choi says “”The MacBook Air is the world’s thinnest laptop ever. However, here in the UK, we still use the world’s biggest three-pin plug,” Click the link for the article .
