The work of US-based designer rené lee, the ‘bento’ computing system concept integrates a notebook, tablet, and smartphone into a single modular device, expanding the possibilities of networked use while extending the life cycle of the product and providing easy portability of each component. ‘bento’ was shortlisted from over 1000 designs in our recent designboom competition ‘a life with future computing’, organized in collaboration with FUJITSU. A laptop with 15″ OLED screen serves as the structural base of the design. when used as an integrated system, the 11″ tablet and 4″ phone sit in shallow depressions, flanked by a solar powered lithium-ion battery and a 1TB SSD drive. When charged, the tablet and phone can be removed and used wirelessly, or utilized independently as individual devices.

The ‘corner store’ bag collection by cast of vices the ‘corner store’ bag collection by LA-based jewelry designers cast of vices offers an upscale interpretation of everyday plastic bags. All pieces in the line are composed of lambskin leather and are hand sewn and hand embossed. their designs, however, are replicas of four plastic bag faces found in corner stores, shop stalls, and takeout restaurants throughout new york.
‘Born from a desire to create artifacts out of our vices’, the new line playfully attacks consumer culture, while also raising questions about the meaning of handmade artisan work. produced in small (17.5 x 8.5 inches) and medium (21.5 x 12 inches), the bags are available through the concept shop colette.

Parra
25 Mar
The name Parra should resonate with any person relatively well-versed in the realm of street culture.
Back in the day Parra used to be a professional skateboarder and was part of the famous “Fret Click” crew. After focusing on skateboarding, Parra started to focus on drawing which he also studied for a while. He moved to Amsterdam a couple of years later to do an internship where he learned the basic principles of illustrating and graphic design. Ever since Parra came to Amsterdam, he reinvented himself and made a huge amount of work in a short period of time. His humorous, illustrative, colorful, characteristic, hand drawn typographic signature style was found on a ton of print work, posters and flyers throughout the city of Amsterdam.
His first solo show in London got him signed on the London based agency Big Active, which generated many opportunities. Parra got the chance to work on big commercial projects next to his own projects. His work buzzed around the internet heavily while doing popular solo exhibitions in New York, LA, Milan, Paris and Berlin.
