Works in progress. Exploring the idea of a spherical zoetrope (clearly impossible to do in real life), here animating an abstracted figure cyclically standing, kneeling, and raising arms. The sculpture/lamp is derived from the animation.

The Venus of Cupertino, my iPad docking station, is just back from a busy week at the London Design Festival. She received countless oogles, smiles, and appreciation over the four days. She was even chosen as the top design at the festival by a prominent online design & lifestyle magazine.

Now that the Venus of Cupertino is almost all grown up, most future posts and updates on the Venus project will be found at: EATON.london There you can follow all the gossip, blogs, & tweets. And of course you can order her there as well!

Hercules XIII tablet featured in Living Etc magazineclick for larger

living etc may 2015My tongue-in-cheek, neoclassical Hercules XIII tablet stand was recently featured in the Great Beauty section of Living Etc magazine. I am proud to see my small but stout Hercules holding his own against the towering bust of Adonis. He is small but he’s far more fun than any of the other pieces in the spread.

Scott Eaton shares a Red Dot design award for his art direction on the Megafaces pavillion at the Sochi olympics.

I am excited to announce that our Megafaces facade for the Sochi Winter Olympics has won a Red Dot Design award 2014.

“MegaFaces is a cross-platform project conceived and built for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. Formed by 11,000 telescopic actuators the kinetic facade is able to transform in three dimensions to recreate visitors’ faces at monumental scale. The aim was to create a monument to celebrate people. Facial impressions are relayed to the facade from 3D scans made in proprietary 3D photo booths within the building. An algorithm transforms the faces on-the-fly considering day lighting, scale, rotation and colour. The resultant portraits appear three at a time, at eight meters tall.”

Congratulations to everyone involved!

We are proud to introduce our latest design – the Moai iPad docking station. Inspired by the serene, eternal vigilance of the monolithic icons of Easter Island, we’ve upgraded and remixed them for a tongue-in-cheek poke at the persistent distraction of modern digital life.
