More plastics, 3 form actually

I thought I should go back and add some really interesting design applicaitons of the materials discussed in class each week.  Thus, I wanted to post some really unique uses of plastics in design.  For some reason most of these are 3Form, but I think it is just because the stuff is just universally cool. 

  This is a picture I took of a 3form bar at a restaurant in Venice called le Central.  The food was pretty good, but this bar was my dessert because the lights would change color and I couldn't stop looking at it.

Here is that bar again in red, I had to include a picture of the different colors it would change to.

I went to the American History Smithsonian Museum over the weekend and saw this retro display, ironically it is some dated advertising for plastics so I thought I should add it here.

First of all I wish people still advertised this way, secondly what in the heck are Ureas?  As far as I know Urea is pee.  I also wish that adertisers would use a pricing chart showing the price increases in their products over the last 10 years, it should be mandatory.  On another more academic note, I like how this add is portraying plastics as an innovation, whereas today it is taken for granted.
