Wall-art

Wallpaper (behang) Punk Peacock designed by Johanna Basford. Take a look at her website for more beautiful designs.

Pluk

Dutch design Tjep. was responsible for the identity, naming and interior design of Pluk. Pluk is a new take-away formula which offers: fresh juices, yogurt shakes and special salads that customers can compose by themselves: the so called tossed salads. I like the name (as one of our cats) and the concept. Pluk is located in Haarlem the Netherlands.

Lacroix at home

Seems that fashion designers are all getting into the housewares game and Christian Lacroix`s latest collection for the department store La Redoute is another wonderful example.

Human features

Weight Clone Pillow, inspired from the medical techniques of cloning, the collection, designed by 5.5 designers, exists of objects created by features of the human body.

Eggshell

Bodil Manz was born in Copenhagen in 1943 and has been known as a master of eggshell porcelain for many years now. I`m very inmpressy through this paper-thin objects. Thanks to Kristine Meyer and Sabine Lavigne from http://www.meyerlavigne.blogspot.com/

Fantasy

The creations in The Fantasy collection which Jaime Hayon has designed for Lladró, mirror the perfect fusion between the artistic quality of the Spanish porcelain brand and the playful, fantasy quality the designer brings to his works.

Catmania

Table lamp Romeo designed by Giancarlo dall`Omo for Casamania, made of technogel.

Queens and kings

'Soraya' jewelry, by Arik Levy for Gaia & gino, you can find this jewelry at Unicahome.

Moss

This project by Nendo involved renovating an old wooden house on the Shibuya River in Tokyo's Ebisu neighbourhood into a live-work space. Most wallpaper imitates nature through a two-dimensional representation of it, and cladding the walls entirely in moss would simply have been too much. He wanted something in-between, so he applied the moss in a pattern that looked like wallpaper, creating an ambiguous texture that's neither artificial as natural.

Metal art

Cappellini`s coat rack presented at the fiore in Milan last April. Nendo’s coat stand is laser-cut from sheet metal and available in glossy white or black. Via Designboom.

Knit!

For this inviting armchair used Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec drawn in form knitted, exceedingly strong textile that with the fit of a stocking concerning the chair construction. Slow chair and ottoman produced by Vitra.

The Middletons

I have found this plates at Poketo named The Middletons Plate Set. Marco Cibola calls this set of four, The Middletons and names each individually Doug, Janet, Claire & Perry. Based on the idea that melamine plates can have personalities too.

Green

Marimekko kitchen accessoires.

TN_29

The shoes from TN_29 Tracey Neuls are some of the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen. Her shoes are literally works of art pulling from multitudes of unexpected inspirations. Fashion, furniture, antiques and upholstery are just a few of the genres that Tracey Neuls pulls from when creating her footwear.

The Rug Company

Carpet Puzzle designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for The Rug Company. All the rugs are handknotted in the traditional way, using carefully selected handspun wool.

Laser cutting and etching

Tray Servagon designed by Christopher Coombes for Industrial. A tray, raised by vertical ribs, offers its contents to a guest. This surface is perforated letting the light into the closed and open volumes. Ginkgo: The geometric pattern now has ginkgo leaves to play with, which are laser etched into the surface. Rock: The surface mixes signs and technologies from different era's with laser technology cutting and etching figures carved into rocks during prehistoric and historic periods. Flora: The surface is treated as a traditional wood carving with highly detailed plants laser etched into the surface.

Stationery and gifts

I love this humorous and original postcard art from R. Nichols. Working from his studio in the hills of Western North Carolina, R. Nichols works simply with colored paper, a glue stick and a regular old pair of Fiskar scissors. R. Nichols believes that cool art should integrate all parts of your life - from the stationery you send to the grocery totes you carry.

Same same but different

Same Same But Different is a family of three. Each glass resembles the other and contains the same volume but at the same time they have their own personalities. Glass-set from Muuto.

Kiki`s dream

Spiral Islands is a completely new installation created by David Trubridge specially for Milan 2008 where it was shown in Zona Tortona. Delicate cloud lighting forms float over, and mirror, island seat forms below like the puffy white clouds that sit over the countless islands scattered over the Pacific Ocean. Aotearoa, the Maori name for New Zealand, means the land of the long white cloud.
