The Sensory Light Box advertisement for Nikon’s D700 by Cheil Worldwide…

Seoul Sindorim Subway Station is one of the largest stations in Korea with daily passing population of five hundred thousand people. An outdoor light box equipped with a motion detector was installed at the connecting passageway at the station, along with a red carpet leading to the Nikon shop located in the mall. This interactive light box made people feel as though they became superstars walking down a red carpet for a luxurious award. This experience has created a very special and unique brand image of the Nikon D700 and succeeded in triggering purchase intentions. Strengthen a positive brand image of the Nikon D700 and maximize sales among passersby of Sindorim Subway Station. Bronze Cannes Lions Media Winner. (via)

The Anti-Paparazzi Device by Adam Harvey…

Adam Harvey recently invented a smart alternative for camera-shy celebrities, one that won’t tarnish their public image or end in an assault charge. His “anti-paparazzi device,” which is built into a clutch purse, uses a photo cell that picks up a photographer’s flash and communicates with a circuitboard, which then fires LED lights that flash back at paparazzi, ruining their photos.

Currently the wiring and batteries fit in a ladies’ clutch, but he hopes to continue reducing the size of the device to the point that it could be worn in something as small as a pendant or tie tack. In its current form the device is activated by powering it on and then tilting the clutch. The sensor will register a flash being fired from up to a 45 degree angle each way. The device is meant to be used at night, in low light situations on the street or in a lounge, for instance. “It works up to iso 800 at f/4, but if you’re shooting something that requires more light than that then this thing can be overpowered,” says Harvey. The device works up to a 1/125 shutter speed. (via)

Tattoo Tester concept by JuliAnn Miller…

We were to design work for a social or political cause; I chose tattoos for my topic. This Tattoo Tester is a kit that comes with certain papers so that the user can create custom temporary tattoos (transfer paper and carbon paper). The kit also includes a brochure with information on tattoo statistics and a brief history of tattooing. (via)

Cardboard Cloud installation by Fantastic Norway Architects…

Fantastic Norway Architects created the Cardboard Cloud installation for an exhibition at the Centre for Design and Architecture in Oslo, Norway. The show will feature work by Norwegian students.

Being that the exhibition is set to present brand new design objects, they decided to base the architectural concept on the thrill of unpacking. The installation consists of over 3000 hanging cardboard boxes resembling a large pixilated cloud, hovering over the various objects. The construction creates a large variety of spaces, from cave like to lifted and open areas, inside the 350m2 exhibition hall. The objects and design concepts are displayed both inside and outside the boxes. (via)

Returning to our childhood, playing in the water again like when we were kids. The rubber duck has been converted into a ‘paperboat’. A design which involves the use of origami with fabric, which behaves as a tub stopper. (via)

Similarly, there is also a more colorful version Map Dinghy Drain Stopper available at the MoMA store. Instead of white, the boat is made from a waterproof map.
