Berlin artist Jan Vormann is patching up World War II bomb and shrapnel damaged buildings around Europe using colorful lego blocks.  This project is called DISPATCHWORK is similar to the idea of the Sarajevo Roses.

Swedish designer David Ericsson launched Void Watches first with the 1970s Casio inspired digital collection. This is his second collection using retrograde for movement and time-telling.

Void Watches

This is not the usual watch with an audible alarm, it vibrates at the desired set time. Inspired by tabletop alarm clocks, the wristwatch alarm is set by pressing the alarm button and moving the watch hands to the desired time and then releasing the button. Designed by Industrial Facility, this is part of the show at the New Simplicity Exhibition featuring current examples of simple design.
