Ronen Kadushin’s Hard Copy collection of furniture and lighting features a limited design of a flatback nature piece. The pieces themselve remind me of a gallery exhibit, but Hard Copies are also Open Design, which means that the designs can actually be downloaded from Kadushin’s website and produced by anyone interested. That’s a very cool aspect and a push towards a new sense of freedom of design we aren’t much used to.

Keep in mind thought that Kadushin encourages modification and redistribution and asks for producers to share a portion of their income.

French TV channel Canal+ has just launched Le Cube, an integrated Set Top Box and complete UI experience designed by Yves Behar/fuseproject. Says Behar, “as my team and I at fuseproject were completing the One Laptop Per Child, CANAL+ came all the way to San Francisco to work with us on something that had to be very useful and innovative.”. The integrated system presents information, personal preferences and communication “before one has turned-on the TV”. The backlit graphic can display a show, recording and other useful daily information like the time, or function as an alarm for your favorite shows.

“THE DESIGN DELIVERS A NEW INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE:
The design of the black square interactive area was not a style exercise, but actually is a precise 128×128 pixels LCD display allowing unique animations and an automatic brightness adjustment to the environment. The decoder is designed to be used in either a horizontal or vertical position; this was done through the implementation of a gyroscopic sensor to automatically orientate the information displayed in the appropriate position.”

it’s not tuner, just old fashion alarm clock with mp3 player for your timetable. It comes with three color options, Pure Black, Clean White, Strong Metal. it works with 4 AA size rechargeable battery or direct DC link.
