Nervous System Kinematic Petals Dress
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) commissioned Nervous System to create a new dress for the exhibition #techstyle, which runs from March 6 through July 10, 2016. The exhibition explores the synergy between fashion and technology and how it is not only changing the way designers design, but also the way people interact with their clothing.
Inspired by petals, feathers, and scales, we developed a new textile language for Kinematics where the interconnected elements are articulated as imbricating shells. Like our previous garments, this dress can be customized to the wearer’s body through a 3D scan, and additionally, each element is now individually customizable: varying in direction, length, and shape.

Green lamps concept
This is Emilia Lucht and Arne Sebrantke of German design studio We Love Eames, and they wanted to create a lamp that would allow greenery to grow in windowless spaces. They drew many different ideas, but settled on one they named the Mygdal Plantlamp, a lamp that would allow a plant to grow inside it, without the use of direct sunlight and water.

LZF Lamps’ campaign
LZF Lamps’ inventive 2016 campaign, Telling Tales, features a collection of stories wherein the lamps support and illuminate the lives of the story’s characters. The award winning, internationally acclaimed company was founded by Marivi Calvo and Sandro Tothill twenty years ago after they designed a lamp for their home in Valencia, Spain, from wood veneer which they discovered had an ethereal quality to diffusing light. Timberlite, the ecologically treated veneer they’ve since developed, allows the wood to be hand bent into every shape their unstoppable imaginations allow —from a suspension lamp inspired by Agatha Christie, to the giant Koi Lamp the firm designed and unveiled at Milan’s Euroluce/Salon del Mobile in 2015.

Candles with hidden skeletons
Does it get any cuter than a tiny animal-shaped candle? Probably not, but it does get creepier when it melts, revealing a skeleton. First delightful, then scary Pyropet candles do just that!
The project started by Thorunn Arnadottir and Dan Kovaland was successful from the very beginning, reaching the funding goal on Kickstarter just in 4 days. Now they are selling their candles all over the world.
Thorunn Arnadottir came up with the idea: “One day as I watched the chubby body of a jolly Santa Claus shaped candle slowly melt, deform, and perish into a sad pool of wax I wondered if I could elevate this common place ritual sacrifice into a true theatre of the macabre in wax.”

Ugo Gattoni / Sybille’s bath
This publishing project began in January 2015 when we met with Ugo Gattoni in Paris. Six months later, at the print shop of the URDLA, he achieved an etching under the friendly supervision of copperplate printer Vincent Brunet. He started his drypoint engraving on a varnish covered copper plate, and spent 7 days working on this dreamlike composition featuring some references to his girlfriend Sybille’s anatomy, as well as Escher’s perspective work. This documentary tells the creation process of this surreal etching and shows the skills of the artisan printer. More NOTCOT.
