Graz Music Theater Goes Futuristic

It’s a classical relationship between music and architecture. The University of Graz, in Austria got a new music theater called the Graz Theater (also known as Mumuth Theatre). Designed by Ben Van Borkel and Caroline Bos, it enthralls anybody who visits the theater.

There are two entrances, one for performers and other for the patrons. Go inside, and get transported into a world of springs. The main stage itself is in a spring form thus creating a immense feeling of space and the entire theater gets an ambiance that can’t be described. Move up the curved foyer, and one finds an auditorium, good enough to seat 350 people comfortably. The so called Blob-to-box-model is what constitutes the other design element. A number of smaller springs like structures are created due to this design.

S-Series Mobile Concept Made of Bamboo and Black Acrylic Surround with Brushed Aluminium Buttons.

S-series mobile concept is not based on today’s range of phones which leaves a lot to be desired in terms of design, the aim of the game being to cram as many functions as possible into a lumpy box of endless buttons.

The S-series however steps back from this approach and sets off in a radically different design direction by combining sleek, sophisticated styling with top quality materials all put together in a compact package, to make the whole experience of looking at and owning the phone just as pleasurable as using it.

The phone is aimed at people who want to stand out and make a statement, without compromising on features. Designed in such a way that almost every key feature, from using the camera to making and receiving calls, is easily operated without the need to flip out the keypad and waste time.
