DENVER BY DESIGN @ MOD LIVIN’

By: Josh Wills



Denver by Design is a series of events and exhibitions taking place in the Mod Livin’ showroom during the month of August. The most exciting will be the DENVER BY DESIGN competition, a juried contest to select the best modern design object, art or furniture created by a Colorado designer. Our goals are two-fold; to bring attention to up and coming talent and to focus on the influence of modern design in our community.

The deadline is July 10th, 2009. In August, a winning design will be selected by the judges for a $1000 prize. Sorry for posting this up so late… but we’ve still got a few days to make magic happen right?!

More details can be found HERE.

Thought this was pretty damn cool…

Jason DeCaires Taylor Underwater Sculpture from Christian Sandino-Taylor on Vimeo.

“With natural reefs under threat throughout the globe’s oceans, the sculptures act as the perfect stable surfaces needed for coral to grow. Fish, turtles, sea urchins, sponges and sharks have also started to recolonise the area.” Via - Huck Magazine

BETTER BIKEWAYS

By: Lucian Foehr

Awesome proposal from Joseph Prichard to improve bike signage and hopefully encourage more people to ride.

“The BETTER BIKEWAYS project is a proposal for comprehensive bicycle route signage reform. Effective wide-spread signage can be a powerful tool in convincing people to take up cycling as a mode of transportation. It is also a cost-effective element that can greatly increase the functionality of any bikeway. Unfortunately all too often the role of signage is overlooked during the design of new bicycle routes.”
