PARIS, Dec. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Parrot, a leader in wireless peripherals for mobile phones, is revealing the latest digital photo frame: DIA, the mysterious object developed in partnership with Jean-Louis Frechin, founder of nodesign agency.
With digital technology, we went from print to photos… Taken with the camera or a mobile phone, digital photos are as frail as sands of time, and yet we frequency take a time to watch them. We infrequently share them, around SMS or e-mail, but we never unequivocally see them…
Henri Seydoux as well as Jean-Louis Frechin found themselves deliberation this regard. Sharing the same love for photos, both have been convinced by the necessity of the digital print frame as well as cruise that the object should be envisioned as a piece of furniture for which pattern is necessary.
“I have my own thought of a duty of the photo frame, and what motivates me in what I do is to emanate objects with tall technology. I am looking for designers who have very personal ideas. I am not meddlesome in design to rearrange the figure. I am seeking for an countenance, similar to the gesticulate, the transformation,” explains Henri Seydoux, owner as well as CEO of Parrot.
Your photos, only your photos
Due to the function, a print frame is an object we look at, which we arrangement prominently. While it is critical a frame is pleasing, it is essential which a support “stairs in reserve” for a benefit of the print.
“Today, screens are all the same. So, with my partner Uros Petrevski, we had to find a different type of screen, but falling into the difficulty of ‘do dissimilar just to be dissimilar’. We started to hoop slip movie, to idle screens, to play with clarity of light,” explains Jean-Louis Frechin. “DIA support was innate from a thought which it is impossible to represent a printed picture on the print support. So the support is close to slip movie, with the quality of transparency, and light and format of veteran ektachrome.”
DIA Parrot by nodesign is a white rectangle, really simple, with tactile buttons and a trackball to roller in a menu of a frame.
What is striking is the 10×4 inch tall fortitude screen. Dismantled, deconstructed, disconnected from a support as if there was zero behind, this shade is transparency, is light. The design, your print, appears through this “light box” in the mark brand new cultured dimension…
“The print frame written by Jean-Louis Frechin is very puzzling,” continues Henri Seydoux. “Jean-Louis was smart or ‘crazy’ enough to dismantle the LCD shade we get used to, and a outcome is quite simply enchanting. We don’t see where the photo comes from… It is simply there, upon this pure and half-dismantled screen… It is prestidigitation!”
