NOW DOCKING FOR COFFEE SERVICE

 

 

 


 

The above sparkling specimen is circa 1958 sterling silver and ebony tea and coffee service, designed by Donald Colflesh for Gorham of Providence, RI. The set comprises a coffee pot, tea pot, creamer and sugar bowl with cover and tray. Donald Colflesh was a recent graduate of Pratt Institute when he designed this set in 1958. The finials and handles are ebony.

Though designed in 1958, the set was so futuristic in its form and design that it was named 'Circa 70'.

INTERVIEW MAGAZINE + LINCOLN MOTORS AT THE IFC SPIRIT AWARDS

 

WCIP took a wild ride to the West Coast this past Saturday, with copilots Interview Magazine and Lincoln Motor Company for the launch of their "Hello Again" campaign at the 2013 IFC Film Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles.

Guided by Interview's iconic editorial style, WCIP reimagined Andy Warhol's workspace, the Factory, introducing Lincoln's new brand intiative to the world. The installation was built over 5 days in a beachside tent - custom elements included over 100 linear feet of silver metallic walls, an oversized rotating box of chocolates, WCIP-designed chandeliers inspired by race track designs, and a hand painted red-and-white soup can wall.

Guests melted into the industrial luxe environment, soaking in the live feed of the Spirit Awards on velveted deco couches, and whimsical mod found furniture. A polaroid powered photobooth captured the all action as it happened, providing guests instant memories - and their 15 minutes of fame.

LAYERS OF THE FUTURE



Printed Optics is a new approach to creating custom optical elements for interactive devices using 3D printing. Printed Optics enable sensing, display, and illumination elements to be directly embedded in the body of an interactive device. Using these elements, unique display surfaces, novel illumination techniques, custom optical sensors, and robust embedded components can be digitally fabricated for rapid, high fidelity, customized interactive devices.
