Seductive intro spot for Audi’s new family luxury A7 Sportback directed by Blind CD Vanessa Marzaroli whose Rorschach-induced “Crazy” music video for Gnarls Barkley served as a reference point for the agency.

Marzaroli: “Since the entire piece supposes the idea we can travel through an auto designer’s brain, that his creative process can actually be visually presented, our goal was to convey the connection between design inspiration and engineering. We endeavored to marry the fine, elegant lines of the car’s construction with relatable, organic and fluid elements representative of human tissue to show the mind’s own exploratory thought process.”

Agency: BBH, London, Production: Blind/Jelly London, Director: Vanessa Marzaroli, Design/VFX/Animation/editorial: Blind, music: Basement Jaxx

This 3 x 5, Lebowski-inspired home furnishing features an image of The Dude as Buddha in the center, surrounded by circular pattern of symbols from the movie — including bowling pins, pot leaves, viking helmets, toilets, scissors, and guns — all framed by the letters “DUDE” in the four corners.

I like nice things that sit around the house. Better yet, I like nice things that are functional sitting around the house.

Flexible inputs

The Ceramic Speakers connect directly to iPods and other digital music players to form an elegant, minimal music system. Their sound becomes even more dynamic when paired with a turntable and a phono pre-amp. They also connect directly to computers, laptops and televisions, providing a vast improvement over built-in speakers.

Simple materials

The Ceramic Speakers are made from porcelain, cork, and Baltic birch. Each material is minimally finished, left to add its natural beauty to the design. The included amplifier is made from stainless steel sheet metal, with a cast iron base and paulownia volume slider. Aside from the electronic components, plastic is completely avoided in the system’s construction.

Intense detail

Typical speakers are designed to play even the most compressed or poorly recorded track. They gloss over the details that give high-resolution music its depth. The Ceramic Speakers’ custom-made drivers, porcelain and cork enclosures, and Tripath amplifier reveal every nuance. They will show the difference between lossless and mp3 files, and will unlock vinyl’s richness.
