The Wireless Streaming Music Centre has an auspicious design (check floating iPod Touch) which could work in its favor among a sea of “me too” competitors. Like other systems on the market, it streams music, connects to your iPod and computer and daisy chains with other units should you want to expand the system. The difference is it also has a hard drive to potentially store music right in the unit.

Icon: Savoy Aalto Vases by Alvar Aalto for Iittala

Posted in Daily checklist on August 3rd, 2010 by Rahi – Be the first to comment

This is my old employer. And I am very proud working with this brand.

For 70 years now the Iittala factory in Finland has diligently produced Alvar Aalto’s sinuous Savoy vase. Originally part of a housewares collection that Aalto submitted to the Karhula-Iittala design competition in 1936, the vase was first presented at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris, where the theme was “Art and Technology in Modern Life.” At the time of its conception, the vase’s graceful enigmatic form challenged the glassblowers who pioneered the making of it. Inspired by nature, Alvar Aalto simplified design elements and used a craftsman’s knowledge of the material to create design that allows for various combination’s of use. The mysterious form made a strong statement against industrial production that failed to meet human needs. Today it has become an icon of a design movement.
