Slumber Party
Posted on March 29, 2012
I was never a fan of beanbag seating apparatus, but Belgian carpet maker Casalis just brought the sad sack to the next level with their new product Slumber. These fluffy poufs look so damn comfy with their coarse and soft knit texture. Perfect for a little reading or a coffee break.

Organic meets structure. Kawamura-Ganjavian created a modular system to help crawling plants expand to their full potential. Just connect pyramidal elements to each other and help your green pet grow. Plus, you get to be creative with your architectural sculpture and may just even impress your friends with your creative abilities.
Canine Grimaces
Posted on March 29, 2012
Everyone knows I LOOOOVE dogs. So I could not resist posting these great images by Carli Davidson. Funny and fascinating at the same time, these pictures capture moments almost invisible to the naked eye, due to speed of course. Carli, an award winning and internationally renowned photographer has an innate ability to showcase animal personality. Check out her portfolio.
The Human Spirograph
Posted on June 22, 2011
Let’s just call it what it is, really (while not diminish the artistic quality of his work). Tony Orrico, who I believe also dances (cute butt too), uses the symmetry and synchronicity of his body limbs to traces continuous lines that eventually become complex shapes inspired by the theory of chaos. These art pieces, part of the Penwald series, are called bilateral drawings due to their geometric and repetitive motion qualities.

Useful Sequence
Posted on May 5, 2011
I’m not sure how often I would use these or how ergonomic they are, but they certainly look good. The Buro desk accessories by the Wright brothers (Adrian and Jeremy) for Lexon will add an architectural spark of color to your boring desk. And even if you don’t use these tools, from calculator to stapler, the combination of these colourful blocs will make a beautiful sculpture.
A New Order
Posted on May 4, 2011
The incredible abstracted Doric columns by Swiss architect Micahel Hansmeter measure nearly 3 meters high and are constructed out of layers and layers of 1mm cardboard sheet. Impressive assemblage based on subdivision processes which define and embellish the column order with an elaborate system of ornament.
Bottle
Posted on February 1, 2011
This incredible stop-motion video is not new but I still want to share it on my blog. Touching story between a sandman and snow-woman who find a way to communicate and eventually get together, despite an ocean separating them.
Wizz Experiment

Pretty impressive video created by 5 students as part of internship at WIZZ design. Trashy Euro rap, fat bellies, stop-motion style graphics… Enjoy!
Slideshow Supreme
Posted on December 17, 2010
You think sideshows were boring? Think again. All you need is a bit of creativity. As part of promoting it’s growing set of tools, Google published this clip that shows what you can do with Google Docs, and a bit of patience…

The British artist’s latest exhibition (Flock Series) is a unique blend of painting, collage and sculpture, sort of 3D illustration. I get an 80′s vibe from some of them, probably because of some of the neon tube shapes, mesh, and fluorescent colors.
H&M Amsterdam: Flagship Store Projection Mapping
Posted on December 1, 2010
And the trend continues. But projection mapping is getting more and more impressive. The latest attempt comes from H&M at the opening of the Amsterdam flagship store last month. Fun, festive.

Transformation
Posted on November 3, 2010
Scottish artist Lola Dupre has a unique way of taking photos and creating something completely absurd and Dali-esque out of them. She patiently cuts out multiple prints of the same image and reassemble all the pieces into a new viewing experience. Check out her incredible portfolio. For some of the pieces, she shows the before and after. Impressive.
Sand Art
Posted on November 3, 2010
Joe Mangrum is an artist known for his colorful sand work. This form of street art is not only impressive on a technical aspect but also by the fact that it is so ephemeral. Check out his site fore more of these psychedelic bursts of color and other art forms he plays with.
