Chanel: The UNIQLO of Luxe?
Chanel is promoting the launch of its Premiere wristwatch with a website that makes diverting, if limited, use of the parallax effect.
We know it’s a little too soon to compare its digital play to UNIQLO, which has an enormous social track record. But pair this with its ongoing brand storytelling (see delectable most recent vid) and whimsical web content by Karl Lagerfeld, and we’re thinking this icon of luxe can toy with tech like the best of them. And that it isn’t afraid to experiment on a broadening scale while keeping production values high. (When does that ever happen?)

8 Insights About The Coming Era Of Interactive Design
(via Co.Design)
1. Our phones demand too much attention, detracting from our real experiences.
2. Analog metaphors are making less sense on digital devices.
3. We’re waiting for new paradigms in experiencing media like text on screens.
4. UX is a living, somewhat unpredictable thing. All experiences need to be fluid and flexible now.
5. You shouldn’t just try to understand a product. You should try to understand its connected network.
6. An “Internet of things”—countless connected sensors—is coming (and here).
7. All of our information feeds into something larger than ourselves, a “superorganism” or “colony” of digital information.
8. The hive mind got so big that greater Internet thought is now manifesting locally (think Egypt’s uprising or Occupy Wall Street).
The tools we use to design websites are evolving. Adobe gives a sneak-peek of its new tool for designing responsive websites, Adobe Edge Reflow. Don’t get too excited yet though, Andy Clarke has been playing with the alpha builds and says that it’s currently “truly terrible”
