Jointed Pieces and Knitted Vase

Bits ‘n Pieces is a traveling exhibition with work from a variety of artists, scientists and researchers who are trying to “..anticipate the next phase of the digital revolution, focusing on how society is imbued with, shaped by and shapes technology.”  It’s a great way for art and science to interact and lead to thought-provoking and inspiring pieces of craft and design:

Jointed Pieces by Alissia Melka-Teichroew (byAMT) is an example of craft made possible by science:

Jointed Pieces

Her jewelry is made of ball joints, which used to be impossible to create in one piece without assembly in the mediums of ceramics or plastics.  However, with Selective Laser Sintering technology, she can now create the ball joint and combine them for her line of bracelets and necklaces.

Another inspiring combination of technology, crafts, and design is the Knitted Vase by Ilona Huvenaars and Willem Derks, which is made to fit any amount of flowers, from a single rose to a bunch of wildflowers:

Knitted Vase

The vase is made from synthetic fiber and created through the Rapid Manufacturing technique.  It’s designed to stretch and wrap around the flowers like the neck of a knitted sweater.  Sounds comfy!

Check out these impressive prototypes and many more on the Bits ‘n Pieces website.  If you live near New York City, check them out in person at Material ConneXion at 60 Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor.

Bookshpan Buttons Short Lamp

I have been obsessed with Coraline lately, and this lamp looks like something the “Other Mother” would love to put in her living room!  Check it out at Studio mesila (site in Hebrew and English).

Triangle T-shirt + Wall Pocket

The Triangle T-shirt by Circle T has a repeating Triforce pattern, with a few extra triangles, and the Wall Pocket by Scout Regalia reminds me of a combination of a Zelda rupee and a Bejeweled jewel.  It was inspired by geode mineral formations, so the comparison is definitely fitting.  Still, I play too many video games, don’t I?
