Thinking differently

On her Flickr stream, photographer and furniture maker Gina Glimmer posted a photograph along with this text:

"Last night I finally saw the light for this NPIRL table. I had been thinking of a 'water table' before but suddenly the idea came up to use flexible table legs which blow in the wind :) Btw, these are 32 solid gold table legs ;-)"

Morphing furniture with more options than there are days in the week

"Have you seen Jennifer Hana's morphing latex living room set?" asked fashion writer and NPIRLer Iris Ophelia. "Nine prims, and it has high quality animated sit poses, of course," she added.

I had not, but Iris soon remedied that situation when she teleported me over to see this wonder that was rezzed in her own studio.


Iris demonstrated the sit poses and they were good

Furniture is not a regularly featured topic on this blog, but this... this is the sort of thing that warms the cockles of my digital heart. For that matter, I can't imagine that it would fail to interest Tracie Rozhon, House and Home reporter for the New York Times. Really, what New Yorker wouldn't appreciate having this many options - ten of them! - with just one furniture set, to squeeze out the best use of their tight square footage?



I'm looking forward to the day when Jennifer will be able to use more inviting textures for this line of sculpty chairs. Here's a quick and dirty video I threw together so that you could see all the possibilities. I like the ones at the end best.



Jennifer Hana (rez: 8/4/2006) is Japanese and has a bold, clean, luxe design vocabulary.



There are many branches of her Sculptix shops throughout the grid. The Sculptmix: Transformable L Sofa with 10 variations is available by teleporting from here. I like her store at Cocoloco - which she also developed, best (teleport directly from here).


Cocoloco... an earlier NPIRL build

Furniture that hovers, by artoo Magneto

This 24 prim sculptie delight, loaded with animations, was created by artoo Magneto. The script for it creates an infinite communication loop between the prims, to generate a ferromagnetic forfield to push against SL's gravity. :P
The couch is also fully modifiable, so you can alter the textures, etc. Teleport directly to his Akeyo main store from here.
