Here are some design inspirational links from around the world.

Graphic Design

• Hyperkit is a small London based multi-faceted design studio, run by Tim Balaam and Kate Sclater. Though they're studio is small, their creativity and execution are not. The simplicity of their work is very appealing.

• This Is Wanted. Typographic motion teaser for a site that doesn't even explain what it is -- but makes me want to know (and that makes it already a success).

Industrial Design

• Dyson Stowaway. Dyson consistently makes remarkable products (we have a DC14 Animal and its actually enjoyable to vacuum) and are designed with an attention to detail and functionality as well as effectiveness and performance (much like Apple -- its not a matter of just looking good, but working well).

Automobile Design:

• The Mayback Exelero is perhaps the slickest, most elegant, luxury concept car I've seen in a long time. Its got all the power of a small, compact sports car, but the posh pampering of a Bentley. A 700 horsepower V-12 twin turbo rocket.
• The Peugot Moovie (a concept born from a Peugot international design contest) is one of the few concept "cars" that I've seen that entirely breaks the mold of a car (for some reason I think of the "IT" vehicle Mr. Garrison created on South Park). It more resembles a hamster ball than a car -- which is awesome.

Architecture

• Building with ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene). Some fascinating buildings designed using ETFE as the core material. It's a flexible, strong, inexpensive, light-weight and self sustaining (self cleaning, recyclable) alternative to glass or plastic. Just look at EarthPark (in Iowa), Allianz-Arena, The Eden Project and Khan Shatyry Entertainment Centre for examples of ETFE's usage.
• Steve Holl Architects are firm based in New York City, and has some amazing work. In particular I'm drawn to the Whitney Water Purification Facility and Park -- which is reminiscent of Frank Gehry.
