 World Moving Ideas: Pershing Calendar 2009Great ideas last forever. This is the insight that has inspired the 2009 Pershing calendar "World Moving Ideas" and its celebration of the power of ideas.The calendar presents 12 universally known objects and shows how many of the things that surround us today exist on account of important inventions in the past. Every object includes a month of the year 2009, plus a description of the original idea that led to its invention. For example the iPod owes its existence to Thomas Edison who invented the phonograph in i878, whereas magnets are a direct consequence of the refrigerator, invented in 1748 by William Cullen. Dedicated to Pershing customers and produced in a limited edition, the calendar has been sent to Pershing prospects and opinion leaders. more www.beh... (124) added by Levent OZLER |

 UFO: Unidentified Feeding ObjectUFO (Unidentified Feeding Object) is a mono-use disposable plate designed by Andrea Ruggiero for InDisposed - an exhibition which invited designers to address notions of disposability in everyday products.Lightweight and rigid, UFO is designed to to be used at picnics, garden parties, beach parties or barbeques and disposed of by launching it into the bushes - exactly like a frisbee. Upon impact, the plates break into smaller pieces and then serve to feed birds, squirrels or rodents, referencing the waste=food principle. The very act of launching the plate makes its disposal shameless and fun (a cross between an olympic discus event and a Greek wedding) and the impact of the plate becomes a necessary component of the process. In Italian, such mono-use objects are referred to as "usa e getta" or literally, "use and throw" in English. Though semantically disturbing, this was the inspiration behind the UFO concept. UFO is made of a unique composite of blended bird seed, potato starch, guar gum, and a seaweed-like binding agent. The plates are highly resistant to wet foods, vinegars and sauces, yet completely biodegradable, non-toxic, and vegan. more www.and...
