來自冰島的Sigur Ros樂團主唱 Jon Thor (Jónsi) Birgisson，擅長以飄渺的樂風讓聽者彷彿進入一個精靈的世界。他2010年新專輯”GO”的巡迴演唱，舞台的設計更是視覺結合音樂的一大享受。讓我們來看看負責設計的59 Productions透露他們怎麼構築出這美妙的世界。
A sneak preview of the live stage show 59 Productions is creating for Jónsi’s(Sigur Ros) 2010 tour – a cross between film, art installation, theatre performance and live gig.
Live show: Designed by 59 and Phil Eddolls

Designer Tokujin Yoshioka (吉岡德仁) has designed a window display for Maison Hermés, Tokyo. ‘The window is designed with an image of woman projected on to a monitor. The scarf softly sways in the air in response to the woman’s blow.’

‘On designing a window-display of Maison Hermès, I intended to express people’s daily ‘movements’ with a suspicion of humor. There are moments when I perceive a hidden presence of a person in the movements born naturally in daily life. I created a design where one can perceive someone behind the scarves as if life were being breathed into them.’ The installation will run until January 19th, 2010. / via Designboom |

Japanese designer Nosigner recently completed this signage campaign for a cram school run by Ikushinsha, a publisher of educational materials. I think it’s so clever how an ordinary ruler, when adapted as a motif, can look so visually stunning. It is also the one iconic symbol of learning and growth – an object that all students use at some point in their studies regardless of the discipline. / via Spoon & Tamago
設計公司Nosigner最近幫日本的一間由Ikushinsha經營的補習班設計了一套指標系統（Signage System）。整體的設計是從「尺」的概念下去發展，完美的連接、串連了整個空間。「尺」是一個學習過程必會使用的一個工具，用這個當設計的concept，再完美不過了。
Mickey Jackson Mouse
Art which makes you think
Mickey Jackson Mouse is the artwork by atelier Alessio Blanco for Walt Disney Company. Created just few weeks before Michael Jackson died, it has been acclaimed by critics as a tribute to the great artist. The artwork is now at Times Square in Hong Kong for the “Bloc Mickey” event by Walt Disney.
Mickey Jackson Mouse is shaping from the idea that Mickey Mouse is an anthropomorphic mouse willing so bad to look like a man that nowadays can resort to plastic surgery to score his main goal. This sets a deal with Mickey and Michael, even for the assonance of names, though we could have never pictured what would happen few days after its creation.
The artwork is just intended to be ironic and is assuming a new connotation about the role of plastic surgery in modern society even if the artist never wanted to make a direct reference to the King of Pop.

Mickey Jackson Mouse 是藝術家 atelier Alessio Blanco 為迪士尼做的藝術作品。但卻沒有想到 King of Pop 就在這作品完成後的幾天過世。Mickey Jackson Mouse 的主要想法是將米老鼠擬人化，形容他不顧一切的想要經由整型手術變成一個人的故事。即使有點諷刺意味的將Micky 和 Jackson 兩個字連在一起，述說一些現今社會和整型手術的相對關係，一些評論家現在寧願將他視為一種敬意，紀念這偉大的King of Pop – Michael Jackson。
