Alessi Il Tempo della Festa Timbale Moulds are a set of 6 architecturally inspired silicone molds that come in black, white, and three transparent colorways designed by Mario Trimarchi. As they describe, “Ever since the end of the 1500s the shapes of desserts, cake moulds and timbales have been evolving, often imitating or reproducing forms found in architecture and nature. Mario Trimarchi, with this series of six Timbales for sweet and savory preparations.” Depending on what you’re making, you can layer in different colors and substances to create surprising jello shots, cakes, and more! Take a peek at sketches, initial molds, and more on the next page!

Here’s the latest from NOTCOT’s London-based editor and resident zoologist, Justine Aw as she checks out Clerkenwell Design Week 2013.I couldn’t help but stop as I caught a glimpse of the Cloud Leopard hanging through the open doorway of Craft Central at Clerkenwell Design Week. The stunning installation was cut by hand over five months by Nahoko Kojima of Solo Kojima and actually created right in Clerkenwell! Since it’s creation, the piece was unveiled at the Saatchi Gallery and has travelled extensively with Arte&Arte’s Miniartextil. More photos of this incredible piece on the next page.

Spotted at ICFF, these Kamina & C Stools designed by Takeshi Sawada are too cute ~ pictures really don’t do them justice. They are ADORABLE! And fuzzy and cute and perfectly little kid sized. Coming in Bambi, Sheep, and Cow variations, Bambi is by far the cutest, sheep at a close second… take a peek at the pics on the next page!

Finish eating your soup and save the best bite for last: the one where you chomp right into the utensil you are using to scoop it up.
We have silverware for eating at home (though even that requires washing) and plastic tableware for events and travel, but this solution is environmentally friendly in either context. TriangleTree proposes three flavors of this edible design – plain, spicy or sweet – to match various meals as needed.
“The Eco-spoon removes the need for non-biodegradable disposable...

Architecture and design firm Zaarchitects received 2nd prize for their hotel design in New York called Heart of the District. Instead of using the hotel to separate visitors from the local environment, it aims to embed them into the city life. Heart of the District is half building-half street; a unique volume suspended between two existing buildings. The hotel's rooms are located in the buildings, connected by a path that includes eateries, retail, conference rooms, play space, and a small movie theatre. Patrons and visitors will be able to view the street traffic and city life, yet will still be able to enjoy the comfort of the hotel experience.Posted on May 21st 2013, 07:00 PM

A través de una carrera de tan sólo 13 años, el arquitecto italiano Giuseppe Terragni (1904-1943) dejó un importante legado de obras construidas que hoy son referentes obligados de la arquitectura moderna y racionalista.
El año pasado les presentamos en ‘Plataforma en Viaje’ la Casa del Fascio -su obra más relevante- y hoy volvemos a las ciudades de Como y Milano para visitar cuatro obras emblemáticas que reflejan claramente su forma de proyectar;...

Reminiscent of a greenhouse or conservatory, the three intersecting biodomes replace an earlier plan for a six-story office building and would establish a visual focus and “heart” for the three-block project, according to plans filed with the city.The spheres will offer “a plant-rich environment” filled with species from mountainous ecologies around the globe, chosen for their “ability to coexist in a microclimate that also suits people,” according to the plans.
