Daily Stack is a playful tool that helps you become more aware of your daily work-flow and time management. By creating a physical representation of your tasks, Daily Stack speaks subtly to your conscience and helps you manage your time through unobtrusive ambient feedback.

It consists of a base device and a collection of wooden bricks in different shapes and colours. The bricks represent different kinds of tasks and time-intervals. By adding a brick to the base you commit yourself to the task and time span that the selected brick represents. Daily Stack communicates with a desktop widget on your computer that enables you to keep track of your time and tasks in progress. It also enables you to browse through your past and and compare your days in a colourful informative pattern.

Designed to be compatible with all iphones and retro handset.
The handset is fully funcational. > Easy to use, avoid radiation

The Places We Live (an interactive exhibition produced in cooperation with the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo) renders the day to day portrait of sixteen households located in 4 slums:
Caracas-Venezuella, Kibera-Nairobi-Kenya, Dharavi-Mumbai-India, Jakarta-Indonesia.
Life size images and audio segments in the exhibition help create the experience of a personal encounter with the slum dwellers. Each slum is represented by one room, where all four walls are built out of rear-projection canvas.

here are a couple of samples :

With a population swelling above 18 million, Mumbai is the world’s most densely populated urban area.
Even though it is the richest city of india, about two-thirds of its residents live in poverty, or slums.
Dharavi, Mumbai’s most infamous slum, is home to about one million residents living off the official city grid.
It is likely to vanish within a decade to make way to middle class apartment blocks.

This is the Shilpiri Household (Dharavi, mumbai, India) : [ PLAY the vocal translation : ]

Kibera, East Africa’s largest slum, is home to a quarter of the Nairobi’s population.
About 700 000 people squeeze into a piece of land the size of New York’s Central Park.
Because of it’s unauthorized status, ir receives no municipal services such as public water, sanitation, schools, health care, etc.

Humidifiers = big, ugly, noisy, cesspool of bacteria, right?.
Not anymore!
Designed by Shin Okada, Mast is a minimalist wood based humidifier that requires no electricity nor a fan… just capillary action.
Crafted by Masuya Koubou out of Japanese cypress > “Known for its high-quality timber, rot-resistant qualities and lemony scent, the thinly sliced Hinoki mast absorbs water from the hull and diffuses it, and its intrinsic aroma, into the room.”

Powers Of Ten from VILLA on Vimeo.

Powers of Ten is a 1968 short documentary film written and directed by Charles Eames and Ray Eames. The film depicts the relative scale of the Universe in factors of ten (see also logarithmic scale and order of magnitude). The film is an adaptation of the 1957 book Cosmic View by Kees Boeke, and more recently is the basis of a new book version. Both adaptations, film and book, follow the form of the Boeke original, adding color and photography to the black and white drawings employed by Boeke in his seminal work.
