{Kicks}Air Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 – Varsity Royal + Varsity Red @ ExtraButter

The Air Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 is yet another hybrid from Jordan Brand and believe it or not it has received quite the positive response from the sneaker world at large. It appears that the mashed up Air Max is now hitting select retailers in its Varsity Royal or Varsity Red colorway. White plays the complimenting color to either shoe and the results are far from disappointing but don’t take our word for it go see for yourself at Extra Butter.

{Design} Mood Chair: Interactive furniture with embedded lighting

UK-based interdisciplinary design collaboration Aether and Hemera has designed interactive furniture called the ‘Mood Chair’ that changes colour depending on the response its sensors receive from the environment and users.

Mood Chair technically consists of partially translucent units, LEDs, embedded micro-chips and sensors. These devices react to the colours that its sensors perceive from the environment and translate them with custom software into lighting effects for the furniture.

Such responsive installations are seen as complementing the architectural space based on the idea that digital interactive fixtures will contribute to create an innovative and high-quality environment responding to the behaviour of its users. This is achieved by visually expressing the activities surrounding them.

Mood Chairs are designed to improve the legibility of a space. They can add attractiveness and enhance the experience of visitors in the identification of environments. Designers Aether and Hemera have joined forces to develop a series of products in which light can be used to add new dimensions to colour, dynamics and interactivity.
