Float Through Time with Flyte’s New Magnetized Clock Tell time or count down the moments until your next big life event with STORY, a new magnetized piece from Flyte. The company’s latest design is an improvement to the wall clock, a work that uses powerful magnetism to [move a hovering metal ball around STORY’s edge](. The designed object was built with three modes. With the Journey setting, you can set your mechanism to a specific date, watching the magnetic ball travel along the circular piece of wood until the ball reaches an upcoming moment such as a vacation or birth of a child. Selecting Clock allows you to use the object more like a traditional timepiece, and finally Timer acts as a short term countdown for kitchen prep or time out. Sotheby's Institute: Trust is everything in the Art Business (Sponsor) “My time at Sotheby’s Institute has been the foundation for all the relationships that I’ve had later on. When people check your CV and see that such an institution is behind you, somehow backing up what you’re doing and what you say and know and how you work, it helps to build trust. When you’re in the art business, trust is everything.” - Gregorio Cámara Castellanos MA in Contemporary Art alumnus & founder of JustMAD art fair [Receive more information]( about Sotheby’s Institute of Art’s MA programs in Art Business, Contemporary Art, and other disciplines at our campuses in New York, London, and Los Angeles.

Experimental Cutlery That Challenges Traditional Ideas of Usability Merging design and haute cuisine, Amsterdam-based company Steinbeisser collaborates with designers and artists to produce surreal cutlery that operate beyond traditional ideas of usability for their online store Jouw… (Dutch for “your”).

Delicate Sketches of the Original Peace Symbol to be Exhibited in London Stretching back over a half century, one of the [most iconic symbols adopted by the international community]( has been the peace symbol. Utilized by millions of activists, organizations, and artists across the globe, most people are probably unfamiliar with the design’s unique origins and the meaning behind the multi-pronged symbol. Artist Gerald Holtom created the symbol for the first Aldermaston March in 1958, part of a series of anti-nuclear weapon demonstrations in the 1950s and 1960s. The symbol was next adopted by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and soon peace groups around the world displayed it in a variety of configurations.
