Paving paradise for a place to sit. That’s what’s going on here. A project from Springtime that saves a seat for your own booty in a play on the culture-cemented idea of a parking space. Part of a design competition that aimed to give a parking space back to the public. “Person Parking” seems to be made for a low-traffic area in a strip mall district, don’t you think?
Text from Springtime:
Duepercinque is a design competition part of the Public Design Festival in Milan. The mission: develop a creative solution for a parking spot of 2×5 meter (due per cinque), returning it to the public domain in a positive way.
I wouldn’t be the guy sitting on the street side of this block, that’s for dang sure. I’d like to see a couch made with this same aesthetic. Maybe minus the cement part.
Designer: Springtime

20 Awesome Wallpapers by J3Concepts
When I first saw this I was amazed by such good pieces transformed into awesome wallpapers, actually a wallpack of 20 wallpapers all created by the great Jared K. Nickerson (J3Concepts). Be ready to have a colorful desktop for at least a couple of months until you ran out of these. Enjoy!
20 Beautiful Cityscape Wallpapers
Everybody loves changing their desktop wallpapers from time to time! But finding the right image can be really tricky, since there are virtually billions of images to choose... here, I've selected 20 beautiful cityscape wallpapers to ease your search.
I found some really awesome images, that will make your desktop look beautiful. Since I'm very fond of Chicago, I've selected it 5 wallpapers, and New York got 4, but they're awesome as well. One thing that I'd like to let you know, is that if you're trying to get one of the wallpapers from Interface Lift and didn't get it in your first try, try a second time, because sometimes it doesn't come right away. Ok? Hope you all enjoy these! Cheers. ;)

peter marigold at 'craft punk' design miami/ performance
british designer peter marigold's new tables will be on view at the 'craft punk' design miami/ performance.
made from waste leather from fendi production the tops use a geometric principle (a bisected
square) to generate the repeating elements.
leather patches
design miami/ is curating an event outside its own territories in a unique partnership with fendi.
taking place during the salone del mobile in milan, 'craft punk’ will expand on the design
performance programme that is a highlight of design miami/.
craft is an area of design production that designers often turn to in the early stages of their careers.
‘craft punk’ will transform the 750 square meter spazio fendi into an active environment for social
interaction, unruly intellectual inquiry and actionbased design processes by inviting emerging designers
to work within traditional, or hand-made, craft methods. the designers can use discarded materials
from the fendi production process, such as selleria leather, branded fabrics, plastic decorative elements,
and metal hardware. demonstrating the creation process live and onsite, they will reinvent the way
a process or material is typically employed.
the designers contributing to ‘craft punk’ include kwangho lee, massimiliano adami, nacho carbonell,
peter marigold, raw-edges, sarah becker, simon hasan, studio glithero, studio libertiny, and yuri
suzuki + household. a truly international mix of talents, they come from as far afield as japan, denmark,
italy, israel, slovakia, spain, the netherlands, south korea, germany and the UK.
