I’ve recently had the pleasure of chatting it up with Remy Nagelmaeker (awesome surname!), one of the founders and designers of mobile accessories label MUJJO. Affectionately referred to as the “Dutchies,” Remy and his partners have been crafting some of the most beautiful cases and sleeves for iPhones and iPads. Hit the jump for the interview and leave a comment to win an iPad sleeve or a MacBook Pro 15″ retina sleeve! CONGRATS TO MATTHIJS! Thanks everybody.
One of my favorite companies Black Badger Advanced Composites just released another amazing set of rings, this time inspired by the Star Wars universe. Appropriately called the X-Rings, each one is graphic in appearance and handcrafted from DuPont Corian. There’s more though – they GLOW! If you’re a Star Wars fan from the original trilogy, it may be time to put away the toy X-Wing and upgrade to an X-Ring. REAL DOPENESS!
Designer: Black Badger Advanced Composites $400
The Invert collection of concept jewelry takes subtlety to a whole new level! The series, which includes earrings, wrist band, necklace and rings was designed with the idea that the user should wear the jewelry for themselves rather than for other people to see. The designs leave the gem stone almost totally unexposed, keeping the rock closer to the wearer and giving others who see it just a glimpse of the bling underneath.
Designer: Melany Wimpee
Dzmitry Samal’s limited edition concrete watches are a beautiful expression of mass that you can wear on your wrist. The 8 different designs are characterized by striking repetitive angular geometries that create a rough, blocky appearance with a focus on balance rather than preconceived symmetry. The concrete housings project totalitarianism but the wild faces scream unrestrained expression!
Designer: Dzmitry Samal
Totally had one of those “are you kidding me?” moments when I saw this! The redesigned Solid Gray backpack is a more rigid version of it’s slack counterparts. The futuristic, stealth-style folding bag is made out of PP-C and is extremely light and strong but is also flexible enough to conform to the wearers back. With clever compartments, secure spots for a laptop or tablet, and durability that will last a lifetime, it’s the only backpack you’ll ever need. Not to mention… it’s f&@%ing sexy!
Designer: Lijmbach, Leeuw & Vormgeving
This chrono watch by Alp Germaner is all about layers. Looking deep into the face, one notices that the gears, dial, hands, outer bezel, and date wheel create a multifaceted labyrinth of working components. Designed to be a top of the line sports watch, it’s as durable as it is intricate.
Designer: Alp Germaner
Primarily working with metal and light, artist Miya Ando created a unique process of permanently hand-dyeing anodized aluminum plate paintings. By applying the same technique to fabric, the designer yielded this beautiful, metallic, 100% silk chiffon scarf that, when draped, looks similar to liquid metal. It’s a modern work of art you can wear!
Designer: Miya Ando
LIV is a ultra-durable, waterproof timepiece with all the bells and whistles. Features include a tough titanium casing, analog and digital displays, chronometer, and tactile controls. It’s a super-sporty design made for roughing it.
Designer: Alp Germaner
Designed with youth mind, the Ground Wave is an inspiring shoe design that aims to introduce exercise in a subtle, fun and relevant way that’s similar to playing a video game. Synced with a wireless app, the system gives dance moves to the wearer, tracking their movement with sensors and accelerometers and keeping track of their achievements and scores. User’s can share their scores with friends on social channels and even form their own dance crews!
Designer: Tom Sykes
The G Shock concept watch is designer Alp Germaner’s personal take on his favorite watch. I like the fact he has given it his personal style rather than succumbing to the “me-too” bandwagon. His version conceptualizes the C Shock as a digital + analog wristwatch. Clean lines and bold embellishments make it the perfect timepiece. What do you think?
Designer: Alp Germaner
Umbrellas can be incredibly useful for keeping you dry… until you close it and the thing ends up soaking you itself because it’s wet! This clever twist of the classic form turns inside-out when you’re not using it, keeping the wet surface away so you stay dry when you make it in from the rain!
Designers: Ahn Il-Mo, Kim Tae-Han, & Seo Dong-Han
This modern timepiece concept designed for the Swatch brand uses a familiar functionality to latch on to your wrist. In the same way you’d secure a belt to your waist with a jam-style buckle, simply slide the band through the face and pull to tighten. The functional design makes it possible to get the exact right fit each time. Easy as pie and it looks cool too!
Designer: Ilia Vostrov
