PHILLENNIUM BLOG - Philipp Zurmoehle’s Design Blog

Arik Levy designs beautiful objects / products.

My lovely friend and superb Product Designer Wilma Pingel just graduated from university and put up her portfolio site. Grab her before somebody else employs her!

Watch product design legend Dieter Rams saying smart things about design on Gestalten.tv! …another nice interview can be seen on Vitsœ’s site and if you want to know even more about him and his work, you can look at the homepage of the Design Museum or visit the Dieter Rams Flickr Pool.

Silvia Knüppel shows nice experimental products in her portfolio.

Laura Straßer designs beautiful porcelain products …make sure to take a look at her label Frenchknicker, too.

llot llov from Berlin design interesting products, installations and interiors.

You lose what you don’t hold – you better hold some of these nicely crafted traditional styled bags and accessories by Hard Graft from Austria.

My friends at Böttcher+Henssler in Berlin sent me some images of their freshly designed “Troll lamps”. They’re made out of one single piece of laser cutted 1.2 mm sheet metal with two colour powder coating. Sweet.

For the Refill 7 project lasercut wooden skateboards were made by popular designers. It’s not very new, but it’s just too good not to be posted.
Look at the Flickr set to see all the close ups.

America the Gift Shop - Check out Phillip Toledano’s great souvenir products!

Commonwealth, based in New York, are exploring the links between the different design fields. There’s a lot of impressive shape and material studies to look at on their Flickr page.

My friends at Ding 3000 updated their website with a funky furniture project. Their petting zoo “copies mother nature’s most fascinating creations”.

The cutting edge of product design: Droog. Very inspiring.

My friends Ding3000 from Hannover, Germany are designing products with a good sense of humour. Products like this candleholder for example.

I would say that supernatural is inspiring product design.
