this year's design pavilion for
NYCxDESIGN included an experimental installation 'bamboo cloud,' by shanghai-based
LLLab.

A futuristic art pavilion, commissioned by Chanel and designed by London architect Zaha Hadid, will make a temporary appearance in Central Park this fall.
First used in toothbrushes it was soon used in the manufacture of stockings (1939), selling more than 64 million pairs in the first year of production. It was also exhibited at the Du Pont Pavilion at the
New York World's Fair of 1939.
The economic downturn makes finding sponsorship difficult
|
Chinese officials insist next year's World Expo in Shanghai has enough sponsorship and enough participants to be a success, despite the pressures of the current worldwide economic crisis.
Some 232 countries and organisations have signed up to take part in the technology and innovation showcase, although several have scaled back their plans.
With just over 400 days to go until the exhibition opens, the United States has yet to confirm its attendance because it's struggling to find the money to build its pavilion.

If the
covered-up arms of Gwyneth, Helen, Kirsten and Anika at the Oscars didn’t convince you,
Ellen Tien will: for spring,
sleeves are in, “be they billowing balloons, leg of mutton, lantern or
inset with flirty lace.”

Wave, stretch, gesture theatrically or just stand arms akimbo. This spring, the sleeves have it, be they billowing balloons, leg of mutton, lantern or inset with flirty lace.
Jack Cards prides itself on unique offerings that can't be found in the local drugstore, and I found that its cards fit the bill for many occasions. It's worth noting the cards looked even better in person, created by about 40 designers who left me both scratching my head over some of their humor and cooing over their beautiful designs. But the functionality of the site needs to improve, especially in the way it helps users search through cards; too often, results were hit and miss. And it doesn't incorporate enough rich Web 2.0 features, which could improve navigation on the site and be a real boon for looking at cards (imagine an
inset animation of a card opening and revealing its message inside).
