Drones can "weave structures in space in just a few minutes"

Architect Ammar Mirjan explains how drones with cable dispensers attached could be used to quickly weave tensile structures over a void in this movie about using drones in the construction industry.

Mirjan claims that drones will "widen the spectrum of what is possible" in architecture. "We can fly [drones] through and around existing objects, which a person couldn't do or a crane couldn't do," he explains in the movie. Read more about drones that can weave structures in mid-air »


Moooi's use of "shocking" naked photography was inspired by the fashion industry

Moooi co-founder Casper Vissers explains how the fashion industry shaped the company's core philosophy in this movie, which launched our ongoing Extra Moooi collaboration with the Dutch design brand.

Vissers reflects on the significance of working with Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf, whose highly stylised photography combined Moooi's products with naked bodies in striking poses. Read more about Moooi's fashion-inspired photography »


Electric Happaratus glove enables wood and stone to be sculpted by hand

Royal College of Art graduate Morten Grønning explains how he adapted an electric kitchen knife to make a prototype glove for carving hard materials in this movie from Dezeen and MINI Frontiers.

Grønning's Happaratus glove features a pair of abrasive pads on its fingertips, which move back and forth in a reciprocating motion, enabling the wearer to sculpt materials like wood or stone with their hands. Read more about the Happaratus glove »
