device extraordinaire

'Growing relentlessly in the mind of Eric Freitas lies a realm of dark mechanical curiosities and horological contradictions. In this world gears are harvested and mechanisms are alive with the organic repetitions of nature's machine. Balancing carefully between creative conception and logical execution, this world would slowly be brought to life. In 2004 Eric began to study the dying craft of clockmaking so that his ideas could be executed, and it would become apparent that even an instrument as logical and precise as a clock could be compromised by ungoverned subconscious thought.' artist's website

I really love this beautiful designs...and the contrast between time and art that defies time, logical mechanisms and whimsical obsessions. Eric Freitas' strange, abstract expressionist drawings are also very popular as tattoos. And if anyone interested in grabbing some free wallpapers with clockwork details you can find some here.



enjoy!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately...I've been very busy with the preparations for my departure and meeting old friends...I'll try to be more active this week!

Enjoy the Blank Wall Clock by Martí Guixé for Alessi... it's a white canvas... you can make it personal according to your own perception of time. So if 3 o'clock sounds to dull for you...be creative!

Say hello to ModKat.
The world's smartest looking, most functional
cat litter box
It's got rooftop access and the designers say that your precious pet will enjoy a greater sense of privacy while you'll enjoy a greater sense of cleanliness and smart design. I just don't know if the kittens would really get inside and use it. More details here.



And next..introducing to you the world's first Hamster Shredder. don't be afraid, it doesn't shred hamsters.
Designed by Thomas Ballhatchet, Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, this is a cage in which the hamster, while using it’s wheel, operates a paper shredder to renew bedding. The design made it top ten at the British Council in Milan.
