Kurt Cobain

 

 

 

 

 

Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)

The voice of the times to end his life at 27, Kurt Cobain.

He belched out youthful loneliness  and anger to the world

with his guitar melodies. For him, it was the only exit to escape

from the isolated society and a kind of curse at the world that didn’t

recognize him. After a big success of Nirvana, he refused to

maintain the group’s reputation using popularity like other rock bands.

In the end, Kurt Cobain with a weak-minded character killed himself

as a drug addict in 1994, after enjoying the short golden age.

 

 

 

“It’s better to burn out than to fade away.”

Kurt Cobain’s short but strong life inspires me a lot.

People living in poor countries die due to lack of medical benefits.

Since the 1970’s, various health benefits available in advanced countries

 are not available  in poor countries due to deepening economic gap between the two worlds.

As of 2009, there are 49 countries designated as poor including Cambodia, Angola, and Togo.

Design works inspired by the volcano

 

 

01. In house volcano

 

 I love the way designer Dae-hoo Kim has taken away the focus from

the form and driven it to the process of vapor creation in this Volcano Humidifier.

No doubt the design is classy, but the whole idea of a volcano shaped humidifier

emitting doughnut-shaped condensed vapor is a lot more appealing.

02.Fiert Feast

 

The Volcano is a barbecue grill that is modeled on the unpredictable

volcanic eruptions seen in mountains. The idea stemmed from the love of watching

dancing flames on barbecues as they slowly cooked and grilled assorted food items

and transformed them to yummy delicacies. Although a cumbersome process,

people still go through the pains of setting up the grill and indulging in elaborate fares,

hopefully the Volcano will make life easier for them all.
