Creative wine decanter
Etienne Meneau has constructed a nice series of wine decanters/sculptures. It’s quite big with a height of 65 cm. Here is a short film when wine is poured into the carafe and you can really see how the wine is coming in contact with air. My main concern is when it comes to cleaning it…...
The Kerry Packer Civic Gallery of the Hawke Centre
The Kerry Packer Civic Gallery of the Hawke Centre . . . an inviting garden of thought.

Stop designing products
Our world is crowded with bad design (you have heard it before here at David Report…). Core 77 has provided some interesting thoughts about this for BusinessWeek. When you start with the idea of making a thing, you’re artificially limiting what you can deliver. The reason that many of these exemplar’s forward-thinking product design succeed...
Life on Mars?
This David Bowie video with Life on Mars? from 1973 is just fantastic. David Bowie was my big music hero when I was young.
