My Dieter Rams' designed, ABR-313 Braun Travel Alarm Clock Radio I bought for my European post-university trip, back in 1991. Way before smartphones, laptop computers, tablets, we relied on things like this for telling time, waking up, and listening to news, sports and music.
This plastic fantastic device is now 34 years old, but it still works as new, and looks great. This is a photo I took of the one I own, in 2016. It's on my work desk, upstairs.
This thing even had an alarm "snooze" function, a night light, and a fully retractable antenna. Runs on AA batteries.
Ich finde Paula Scher und #Typographie generell sehr cool (schaut die Netflix #Design-Doku über sie!) und hab mich daher sehr über ihre Ausstellung in der Pinakothek der Moderne gefreut. Die Ausstellung: Einfach viele Wände voll von Postern, ohne Hintergründe, Kontext, ein bisschen Typo-Erklärungen für Neulinge. Total schade, so einfach nur ne Menge schreiend bunter Buchstaben 🤷🏼♀️#münchen#abouttoday
Let's see how this ages: The first Apple device that bridges the artificial gap between iPadOS and macOS will be called "iPad Studio" and use a hybrid operating system that behaves lika tablet and runs mainly iPadOS apps when no keyboard with trackpad is present and runs macOS apps when a keyboard with trackpad is attached.
I would like to find the person responsible for the design of rotary knobs where the icon also rotates and therefore almost never appears as intended.
It's terrible.
I somehow feel compelled to adjust the rotary knob so that the icon is displayed correctly, which is often the wrong volume (e.g. car radio) or activates the wrong feature (e.g. microwave).
Hello #Design network! I’m looking for my next design leadership role and would love to connect w/folks in product design.
20+ yrs in design, 4 in leadership. I've successfully helped early-stage, growth-stage, and enterprise tech clients build product design practices, scale their teams, and level up cross-functional collaboration. I've led discovery, vision, assessments, and transformations, empowering designers to be impactful partners in their orgs.
Feeling relatively clear today so thought I'd get a few of the wife's requested prints designed but for some reason #FreeCAD just wouldn't start so went looking for alternatives and stumbled upon #dune3d and OMG what a banging new #CAD tool, it's a very fast core clearly built around keyboard shortcuts but has a lovely context menu you bring up with space and for designing simple parts has absolutely everything I need today. I am very impressed. #3dprinting#design#partdesign
I'm itch'n to hang at this recently renovated historic San Diego gem. Stunning! Staycation!! Check it out 😍
PS. A Turkish bath–inspired spa is scheduled to open in mid-2024.
"The newly reimagined Lafayette Hotel in San Diego has chic '40s energy, gorgeous restaurants and bars with amazing food, and a pool."
I got to enjoy the renovations at the historic Lafayette Hotel yesterday! WOW!! (OG post below for context). A $20 Day Pass for the pool/grounds was a purrfect way to soak it all in w/out breaking the bank. I love Art Deco design and was in awe of the gorgeous details. I'm looking forward to hanging in The Jungle Room where they have live jazz every night. So hip and fun! Hard to believe this oasis is in the middle of a city neighborhood.
