Industrial Design Tuesday Vol IV: I.D. Quickie

Okay so here's the thing: I've got a full schedule today. So, to keep up with Industrial Design Tuesday, I present to you this beautiful and brilliant Minimalist Candle Holder by Rockett St. George. Though it is unlike any of the Baroque sterling silver candle holders Mother and her friends would purchase from Mikasa, it is simple, it is elegant, and something I will probably buy for myself. And why not? £14.95 for something this beautiful is completely reasonable. Have a nice Tuesday.

Industrial Design Tuesday Vol III: Ball-Nogues' Rip Curl Canyon, MFA, Houston, TX
Although I do not think much about Frank Gehry, I do appreciate the collaborations that come forth from his work. Ball-Nogues is a studio run by Ben Ball and Gaston Nogues, and based in our very own Echo Park in the heart of Los Angeles. This particular piece has to be my favorite Ball-Nogues piece. I love using cardboard as a medium. It's cheap, it's easy to manipulate, and for a while, it was an extremely underestimated material. Structurally, cardboard is extremely rigid especially when sandwiched together. Conclusion: I LOVE CARDBOARD! [and here is the proof]

Industrial Design Tuesday Vol III : And She Says She Has No Heart For Romance
As you all well know, Valentine's Day is fast-approaching. Although romance is no longer my strong suit, I still have it in me. Somewhere. I know this because Filipinos are notorious for having it. It runs deep in our veins.
Today, I went to work with a lot of down time. With this down time, I have been able to research sweet Sweetheart-type of Industrial Design. Here we go:
