Before I depart for the long Easter weekend (no posts until next week!) – I thought I’d share some unique spaces from photographer Damian Russell. That mirrored chair in the first image is c-r-a-z-y, no? Apologies – no bunny or egg themes from me.

Lee tipped me off to a new book about graphic design from Gestalten. Naïve: Modernism and Folklore in Contemporary Graphic Design explores the return of ‘Classic Modernism’ (graphic design from the 1940′s to 1960′s) in contemporary design. Included are works from an array of young designers who use traditional techniques such as silkscreen printing, hand [...]
Tom Price’s Meltdown

I really admire the inventiveness of furniture designer Tom Price‘s ‘Meltdown’ series. He melts every day plastic objects into chairs including polypropylene sheets, plastic plumbing tubes, cable ties, blue rope and even polyester clothing (insane!) There are no additional materials in these creations, simply the original objects to which he then applies a ‘hot, steel, [...]

Should I or shouldn’t I get this Sycamore Pendant lampshade from product designer Tom Raffield? The shade is made from a fine, single strip of Sycamore (FSC certified of course!) which is wrapped into its shade shape. I admire the classic, straightforward design – and Tom’s policy on sustainablility. As I currently have a bare [...]

Wood Panelling in Montauk

Following on from the black, painted wood panelling post from last week is this incredible house in Montauk, NY. This place really takes wood panelling to a whole new luxurious level. This is no 70′s rec room! Are we ushering in a new era of panelling our walls and ceilings? Images by Francois Halard.

Posted in Art, Graphic Design, tagged Craig Damrauer, New Math on April 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This post is for my math(s) teacher mother. Craig Damrauer’s New Math series is pretty darn clever, and the amount of equations he’s come up with is impressive. (There are loads more to check out here.) Do you think these could be used as a teaching tool? With words like ‘contrarian’, ‘entropy’, and ‘catharsis’ it [...]

I’m digging this black painted wood panelling. I don’t think it would work without the natural wood ceiling and features though… do you? Images from Paul Raeside.
