When you need a break at work, you'd probably love to be able to watch one of your favorite movies. But no boss we know of will look the other way while you screw off for 90 minutes. Thankfully, the talented folks at Russian animation firm 420 have take
Morticians are a class of unsung heroes in most societies. Mortuary arts dovetail technical medical knowhow, painstaking practical effects, and the excruciating job of trying to please grieving families.

Some of you can look at these photos and remain undisturbed, but a portion of you see these and they drive you nuts. If you're in the latter camp, you've got a soulmate in an anonymous artist (or vandal, depending on your point of view) in Bristol, England, who spends
Today marks the beginning of this year's Salone del Mobile in Milan. Whether you're among the hundreds of designers who flock to Italy for the festival or you're at home scouring the Internet with a severe case of FOMO, it's important to narrow down your radar to the best of
Here's a reminder that there are plenty of everyday objects around us that still need a re-design. The observant industrial designer should note that water tends to pool around the base of a hand-pump soap bottle, leaving a dark ring on the countertop over time, or that pouring from a
At the beginning of 2017, IDEO launched a website meant to serve as a guide and resource for designers hoping to support the "circular economy", or, the idea that designers and industries must begin to imbue in their design consciousness that products should be created with the intent of continually

I'm not a prank person. I already have to wade through bad facts online all day, so I'm not crazy about April Fools' and its inevitable slog of brand attempts at soulless humor alongside friends you've ignored since high school making uninteresting fake baby announcements. Worse still, there are usually
Gilbert Baker, long time LGBT+ activist and designer of the internationally beloved rainbow flag, has passed away.

Among the many homegrown highlights of this year's DesignMarch festival, a concurrent exhibition at the Reykjavík Art Museum's Kjarvalsstaðir location proved to be well worth the visit.

The Core77 team spends time combing through the news so you don't have to. Here's a weekly roundup of our favorite finds from the World Wide Web:
Building a portfolio is one of the most challenging parts of pursuing a career in design. On one hand, there's no strict formula and no defined requirements, but on the other hand, we're creatives, isn't that supposed to be where we thrive? In six months, I've had the opportunity to
An arguably refreshing aspect of Milan Design Week's smaller contender shows are their concentration on the importance of spontaneity and experimentation—Salone offshoots such as Ventura Lambrate and Rosanna Orlandi embrace the unconventional, giving way to a new understanding of designers' processes and research. A view of MINDCRAFT's 2015 exhibitionIn

Given a choice between having the superpowers of invisibility, flight or X-ray vision, designers should always choose X-ray vision. The ability to see how something is made, or observe the structure that's holding it all together, should appeal to us more than undetectable shoplifting. (And as I've already covered, with
This may seem strange in an age of instant gratification, but there's an attribute of the current hand tool marketplace that makes me very happy: We have to wait for good products to arrive. Whether because the manufacturer has been "Schwarz'd"* and cannot keep up with the demand, or because
For our first Mid Century Modern Find of the Week we're showing you this Pernilla 69 chair, designed by Bruno Mathsson for DUX. I consider it a truly iconic mid century chair with an interesting history, but it's not one a lot of people know about (probably because they don't
It's a standard bar-room debate: "If you could have a superpower, what would it be?" The options offered are usually invisibility, flight and X-ray vision. A lot of people pick the ability to fly. Well, those people are idiots. If you could fly it would be a disaster. Here's
VaporScape is an interactive soundscape installation in collaboration with NikeLab's The Vision-Airs project, globally launched to celebrate Nike's new VaporMax technology.

In last week's "Design Minutiae" I ogled the display tables used by Australian brand Mud, and wondered at the provenance. Two sharp-eyed readers wrote in with information. Sarah Sitz pointed out that it was surely the Home Table designed by the UK's Barber & Osgerby: Home Table, Barber &
This past weekend saw the ninth edition of DesignMarch, a proverbial diamond in the rough when it comes to the annual design-festival calendar.

Steven M. Johnson's "Patent Depending" series of inventions range from social commentary to plain ol' bizarre, and they always give us a laugh. So we've contracted him to let us publish one every week.
The first time I saw a lot of furniture that had been CNC-milled out of plywood was at a Maker Faire some years past. The furniture was clever stuff. The more interesting designs interlocked without any additional fasteners, some of the simpler stuff used a few screws. I was
