Three Primary Colors is a collaboration between OK Go and Sesame Street explaining the basics of color theory in stop-motion. Made me smile.

Bondi holder – animation

 

http://www.ibondi.com

Lovely little animation that does a very good job at promoting a gadget that would probably go very unnoticed in a market of other holder silicone things. Personifying Bondi and making him into a series of characters was a very clever idea.

Nest – the Learning Thermostat

Visionary Tony Fadell who, back in the day, was in charge of the iPod at Apple *just* launched a brand new product called Nest, the world’s first Learning Thermostat.

Nest learns from your temperature adjustments, programs itself to keep you comfortable, and guides you to energy savings. You can control the thermostat from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet or laptop, and Nest never stops learning, even as your life and the seasons change.

The Worldwide Campaign To Knit Sweaters For Penguins

Many blue penguins were caught in a recent oil spill off the coast of New Zealand and a yarn store called Skeinz has come to their rescue. They came up with the idea to knit sweaters for the affected penguins who are waiting to be scrubbed clean, this way they won’t injest the oil when they preen themselves. Sweaters have been pouring in from all over! What a wonderfully creative way to help!

As it stands right now they may have more than enough sweaters but you can keep tabs on the situation via the link below!

Reve – stationary and food packaging

“Reve is an upscale hot air balloon company that ends each tour with a picnic and champagne. Most ballooning companies out there are very childish and unrefined, so the goal was to create a ballooning brand that was more than that- something classy and sophisticated, yet still with an easy-going and friendly vibe, to keep it approachable. “

This line of stationary and food packaging they use on the flights includes a champagne bottle, designed upside down to reference the shape of the hot air balloon – super clever. I love the little balloon tags and business cards.

The artist / illustrator Cheeming Boey from the U.S. decided it would be a good idea to make his art on polystyrene disposable cups, just with a marker. And he was right because his creations sell for up to $ 1,000 per cup! … Nice work!

Functioning Lego greenhouse

“This fantastic greenhouse made entirely of Lego bricks was just unveiled at the 2011 London Design Festival. Designed by Sebastian Bergne, it is made up of around 100,000 Lego bricks. All parts of the greenhouse are made from Lego elements, including, reportedly, the “earth,” which would seem to imply that the very real vegetables growing inside are sustained hydroponically.”
