Bauhaus Archive app brings modernism to the iPhone

Posted on | Leave a comment

Bauhaus

It seems right that a cutting-edge design and architectural movement of the past has its own smartphone presence, as is the case with the Bauhaus Archive iPhone app.

According to Dexigner, this is an official app for both iPhone and iPod touch that opens up the Bauhaus archive via the exhibition The Bauhaus Collection: Originals of Classic Modernism. Over 100 images, along with commentary in English or German, some context as to what the Bauhaus movement achieved and some visitor information, should you fancy seeing the real thing in Berlin.

Best of all, it's a free download. Always a good thing.

Paul Smith cassette-style case for iPhone 4

Posted on | Leave a comment

Paul smith case

We've featured many products inspired by the humble tape in the past but this cassette-style case for the iPhone 4 has got to be the classiest yet – mainly because its got Paul Smith's name on the label.

Produced in collaboration with Apple, it uses a simple design of a cassette printed onto a leather case. Take a look at the label scribbled with 'Side A' and you'll see the Paul Smith name there, written out in simple type. 

As you might expect the use of the designer name adds to the price tag too: this case costs £89.95.

Buy it from the Apple Store

Handmade wooden Retro TV iPad dock at Etsy

Ipaddock

While Apple's iPad isn't particularly retro, some of the accessories made for it certainly are. Topping that list so far is the Etch A Sketch iPad case, but giving it a run for its money is this handmade wooden Retro TV iPad dock at Etsy.

A lovely piece of design that apes a vintage TV, it has been made to custom fit an iPad or iPad 2 and should look just the part if you happen to be watching iPlayer or 4OD on your tablet.Not sure how practical it would be for more general use, but who cares…its looks great. That's the main point.

Available on Etsy, $60 or £37.99 is the price.

Too much apple
We've featured some of their kids sets before but if you're grown-up and want to get a bit of Too Much Too Young's style, take a look at their apple cushion.

The design echos the naivety and 60s/70s style of their designs for children, showing the simple outline of an apple. It's printed onto white cotton with a suitably apple like cushion back. 

A stylish way to get one of your five a day, the cushion costs £25.

Free Super 8 vintage film shooting app for iPhone and iPad

Posted on | 2 Comments

Super8

It's actually a movie tie-in, but the Super 8 app for the iPhone and iPad is still one of the best apps around. Best of all? It's free too, making it a better proposition than the similar iSupr8 app.

Essentially it turns your mobile phone or tablet into a super 8 film camera, without the film obviously. You shoot at the touch of a button, with the option to switch lenses, throw in filters and add someshake effects.  When you are done, you send it off to be developed (another push of a button), then you can view it in your projector room (on our phone) or export it to a computer / share it with friends.

Seven lens effects in total, plus three animated filters, a scratch and dirt overlay and those shake effects offer real authenticity and as we said – it's absolutely free. Only free for a limited time though, so grab it now.

Areaware Alarm Dock by Jonas Damon – turn your iPhone into a flip-style clock

Posted on | Leave a comment

Areaware

Interesting idea that mixes the past with the present – the Areaware Alarm Dock.

It looks like a vintage-style flip (or early digital) clock, but it's actually a beech wood dock for an iPhone. Slide your phone into the front and it becomes a clock, charging overnight too. That clock display comes from a flip clock app.

Available to pre-order directly, $39.99 is the price.
