    The Leica M Edition 60 is a magnificent creation bringing together gorgeous design with tech innovation.

    Constructed of stainless steel, with a body and lens designed by Audi, this digital camera features a 24 megapixel full frame sensor and ships with a stainless steel Leica Summilux-M35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens.

    The most glorious feature is the lack of a feature: removal of the ubiquitous LCD screen.

    As Leica’s press release states:

    “Reduced to only the essential camera features, the Leica M Edition 60 is the first digital camera to concentrate exclusively on the bare functions required for digital photography – shutter speed, aperture, focusing and ISO sensitivity. This is also the reason for the replacement of the camera’s display with an ISO selector dial. For reasons of quality, exposures are saved as raw data in DNG format. Working with the Leica M Edition 60 intentionally demands the same care and attention as working with an analogue model. Only the sensor and the entire electronics reflect the state of the art of contemporary camera technology…”

    Only 600 will be made of this $20,000 digital camera and I sure to wish I had one to take pictures with when I attend Design Miami this year !

    British designer, architect and artist Cecil Balmond‘s critically acclaimed sculpture H_Edge has it made its UK debut in London’s Spitalfields in a fascinating bespoke configuration in the reflecting pool opposite the Allen & Overy building (open until October 2014).

    As well as H_Edge, Cecil Balmond has a number of forthcoming public art projects including commissions for the Chicago Transit Authority and MESA Art Center, Arizona and one of his recent sculptures, a light sculpture Snow Words (for the State of Alaska Arts Council) was named one of the best public artworks of 2013 by the Americans for the Arts, Public Art Network Year in Review.
