    Back curve, totally flat, a slight curve…three different forms have been explored; so what can we expect from Jony Ive and his band of designers? Don’t know! What we do know that this concept iPhone 5S is pretty awesome and catchy! Good enough to whet our appetite for more.

What do you think?

the fifty united plates by ceramic designers corbe company

 based on the traditional map of the united states 'the fifty united plates' is a collection from american ceramic designers, corbé company. made of porcelain, the project crosses the boundaries of craft, art and design. constructed to scale the unique pieces fit seamlessly in with their neighbor, to collectively form the entire nation. 'they’re a tribute to where you are, what you’re making, doing, eating, loving and living.' says the designers, 'it’s a local project – built for our neighbors… made only greater in its relation to another person, another place – a spread known as the fifty united plates.' using a combination of new technologies with traditional ceramic processes, each piece highlights the persona of the maker. digital files of the states are created with the information needed to effectively cut a prototype on a CNC router. liquid ceramic slip is then poured into a plaster mold - fired in an electric kiln, the casting is finished by hand and sanded to be buttery smooth. every state has approximately 40-55 square inches of interior space and they range from 11-13” at the longest dimension. 'the fifty united plates' has launched a kickstarter to help support the project's creation.
