Exhibit at the BMW museum that consists of suspended metal balls that hang at different heights to showcase the history of body design. Beautiful!

Can anyone say "Blais promo materials"




Name: Candy Fab
Material: Granulated sugar
Price: Estimated at $500 (sugar packets not included)
What it does: You mean, besides make Homer Simpson drool? Developed by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories—aka the do-it-yourself family of Windell H. Oskay, Lenore M. Edman and their two children—Candy Fab [inset] resembles high-end industrial fabbers in that it prints by fusing a layer of grains in selected spots. Instead of plastic, however, those grains are sugar. To cut costs, the Evil Labs crew replaced the multi-thousand dollar laser with a $10 heating coil similar to what you'd find in a hair dryer. The result: geometric confections including dodecahedra, M?s strips and sugary helices like the one shown here. Willy Wonka would approve.Where to get one: Not for sale yet.
Whet your appetite on Candy Fab's Web site.

Wrapped Up





For the past six years BMW's design team has been developing this fabric skinned car called the GINA Light Visionary Model. The two-seat roadster is a design exercise, meant to give Chris Bangle's team free reign to create a minimalist car with sweeping lines and a sculptural appearance.
