...Taste the Font...

Found this amazeballs project by a visual communication company based out of Lithuania called Prim Prim. Their stuff is beautiful, but this offshoot project is so fun!

One day in the air of the Prim Prim studio appeared a question – is it possible to describe the taste of the font?

That is how the "special dinner project" has begun and keeps on going at least once a week.

Everything is really simple. We aren't big cooks, nor the food photographers – just a couple of crazy graphic designers. All fun is to describe the feeling of the font by making a dish, having "it's taste". And to write down the process here.

Moreover, on each post we also present some true history of the font – and that information is not only delicious but also healthy for your brain!




So ... let's taste the font!

Like I said, so much fun!

...May...

Just discovered this amazing designer out of Brooklyn call Travis James. He has two design lines - May Furniture Co and James.
The James line is jewellery and wearable art so gorgeous I might have to invest, and the pieces coming out of the May Furnitue Co line are exquisite. Those spheres! Dying.

...Christmas Cheer...

I found these awesome images by photographer Alan Sailer - basically he fills christmas baubles with things like PlayDoh, hundreds and thousands and glitter than shoots a bb pellet at them. Awesome!

I want to get prints and use them as my xmas deco's for the year.

Alan does this with other objects as well, I just love the colour in these ones!
Find his Flickr stream here.

...Exhibition Recycling Part 1...

So I graduated with a Diploma in Interior Design and Decoration this year from Design Centre Enmore. After 4 grueling years of part time study, it's strange and surreal to not have to rush home after work to do homework!
For our graduate piece, we held an exhibition in which we were each given a 1200x1200x2400 stand to decorate how we saw fit, paying mind to sustainability.
I'll post photos of my stand another time, but for now I need to get out an idea I've had to recycle my floor which I made out of old fence palings I purchased from Heritage Timbers.
My partner and I are looking to move in together next year, and both of us are on tight budgets with not much furniture. Light bulb moment - I'm turning my floor into a table!

I have the designs in my head, and will post progress shots etc, but for now here are some inspiration images I've found.

First up, my floor! Excuse the thongs.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Yanko Design

Hmm, lots of possibilities!

...a Lotta talent...

I swear, it really is serendipity that one of my fave blogs to follow - Emmas Design Blogg - did a post about Lotta Agaton at the same time I have.

I've been following Lotta on facebook for a while now, and always find her images so beautiful and inspiring. She's a freelance interior stylist based in Stockholm, and her clients include Elle Interiör, Ikea, Decor Maison, Kvadrat and Unicef to name a few.

Lotta will be opening a store in Stockholm soon, and launching an online webstore shortly after that. I can't wait to see more of her amazing work - makes me want to move to Stockholm!

And some images of the new store in Stockholm:

...Stef Bakker...

Stef Bakker is an amazing architect/designer/creative genius based in the Netherlands.
It's almost impossible to find any information about him, other than the fact that I'm falling in love.

Visit Stef Bakker here.

...Zander Olsen...

Zander Olsen is a very difficult man to get information on.

What I've found is that he is a Welsh-born artist and photographer who does beautiful work in the UKs environment.

Tree, Line is, according to the artist, an "an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales, involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.’

Beautiful.
