AUDI DESIGNED GRAND PIANO

Audi Design Studio followed Porsche’s footsteps in designing a truly unique piano. And, it’s the legendary Austrian piano maker, Bosendorfer that is yet again responsible for bringing another auto manufacturer into trying their hands in designing a musical instrument.
One of the most striking features of the Audi Design Wing is the lid, which extends without a break down to the base. When viewed from above, the lid is seen to be recessed into the main case, and in the side view, the curve of the treble side is not interrupted by a joint line.
Besides, the keyboard has no wings at the ends, the cast frame is in gray instead of the usual bronze color, and the felt damper strips in natural white instead of wine red.

RICHARD SMITH DOLLAR REDESIGN PROGRAM

Roughly ten days ago we noted the hailing of the $1 bill as a design classic.
One that needed no re-conception, and would likely be immune from change.
Designer Richard Smith thinks otherwise. His redesign program is hinged on the belief that a new look for currency can help lift the economy.
Changing the look of US notes would work in step with a larger national rebranding scheme. Smith has come up with his own look, and wants the public to chime in with their own designs on his blog as well. (via DB).
