The 5-in-1 Shade was created by Jette Scheib and Neels Kattendidt for UK-based design firm Innermost. 5 in 1 comprises 7 simple flat sheets of polypropylene. From these parts you can make any one of 5 pendant lampshades by combining 3,4,5,6 or all 7 of the sheets. You can make the big wide form with all 7 or you could perhaps choose to make 2 lampshades, one with 3 pieces and one with 4.
With the Oct. 30 issue, which will go on sale Oct. 17, Rolling Stone, published by Wenner Media, will adopt the standard size used by all but a few magazines. Along with the change in size, Rolling Stone will switch to heavier, glossy paper and sleeker page designs, and it will be glued rather than stapled — “perfect bound” instead of “saddle stitched,” in magazine lingo — giving it a flat spine rather than a tapered edge. In all, the revisions make for a more professional, more grown-up look. Image credit VIA Richard Perry/The New York Times.
