The stacks of iPads were put together, and then framed with the iconic black top and bottom of the iPhone, to make it look like a giant iPhone. There are 56 of the tablets installed, and all running the same looped video over and over again. Showing the mobile version of the latest Lara Croft adventure. World's biggest iPhone is 56 iPads
This project was born in 2006 when a Singaporean movie director and an ex musician from the south of China decided to open a live bar in Shanghai. The budget was very low but the client was incredibly good and open-minded to us. The schedule was very tight and fortunately they liked immediately one of the first concepts I proposed to them: a caved space formed from of a digital Boolean subtraction of hundreds of slices from an amorphic blob. The idea looks complex but actually is very simple and was born naturally from the digital 3D modelling environments where me and others enjoy playing with virtual volumes and spaces.

The design has, unlike most floating houses, a very contemporary design without losing the characteristic appearance of the typical houseboat. The clients get a lot of positive reactions, it evens happens that people who pass by boat knock on the windows and ask if they can enter the boat.
Living on the water gets more and more popular in Holland. The clients/owners who come to our office always love the typical charms and characteristics of living on the water but don’t like the standard “caravan” appearance of the existing houseboats. More and more people want to live on a contemporary houseboat that has been designed for their specific needs, the houseboat at De Omval is an obvious example of this wish.
The clients wanted a boat with an open floor plan where they could enjoy the views to the water and the outdoor space to a maximum. The distinguished curved line of the facade directly derives from this desire and the restriction that the boat couldn’t be more than three meters above the water.
The living area and open kitchen are located on the waterfront, from here one has a panoramic view at the Amstel and you can enter the floating terrace. Following on from the living area and kitchen the bedroom is located on a split level. The split level introduces an open route to the ground floor of the boat and, at the same time, makes it possible to create a terrace on the south side without exceeding the maximum building height.
To accentuate the round lines of the facade it is carried out in with shiny aluminum.
The white plastered walls and ceilings follow the curve of the facade creating a seamless transition from the exterior to the interior.Watervilla de Omval in The Netherlands by +31ARCHITECTS

For most people from many different disciplines a desk is the main workspace. A typical desk is composed of at least one or more vertical displays that show digital content and a larger horizontal area, containing input devices, such as mouse and keyboard, paper-based documents, and everyday objects. These two areas are clearly separated which makes it hard to move documents from one surface to the other. Furthermore, each area employs a different interaction technique. For example, we use the mouse for drawing on vertical displays but physical pens to annotate paper-based documents. BendDesk is our vision of a future workspace that allows continuous interaction between both areas.
BendDesk is a multi-touch desk environment that seamlessly combines a vertical and a horizontal surface with a curve into one large interactive workspace. This workspace can be used to display any digital content like documents, photos, or videos. Multi-touch technology allows the user to interact with the entire surface using direct manipulation and multi-touch gestures. We took special care for ergonomics. Users can comfortably sit at the desk and place everyday objects on it. Have a look at the video!BendDesk

The office romances, the flirting at the photocopier, the disciplinary action
after the Christmas party… For a place so fraught with love and lust the
office is quite a dull place to look at - corporate sponsored mugs, tastefully
chosen comedy calendar and passive aggressive notes about borrowing
other peoples stationery all add up to ruin the romance of a day at work.
Luckily for your love life (or for your love of filing at least) we’ve come up
with something to put the passion back into your paperwork – our Heart
Hole Punch is a classically styled metal hole punch which punches 2 heart
shaped holes instead of round ones. The only hint to its secret is the subtle
heart shaped centre point. Who says romance can't be understated.Heart Hole punch
