Lladró has been putting out some great collections recently, like the Metropolis, and now - The Guest by Jaime Hayón - with Tim Biskup and Devilrobot. Check out more images and the story at Dezeen.
How pretty are these Yö metsässä textiles by Saana ja Olli? I love the pixelated graphics.
I’ll take the Sincol x MT wall tapes over pre-cut wall decals. They are far more flexible and fun – you can play with diy graphics, shapes, patterns – start layering and take advantage of its translucency. They come in various widths, colors, and patterns. Plus, how cool is it that all MT tapes are rice paper based?
I love this – Ben Broyde’s Orlogin is one half transformer and one half crazy Lego tower. He starts with several painted wood base shapes, and then begins to chop up and carve into the base shapes, revealing the wood beneath and constructing the clock.
Via Designboom. I can’t seem to find a link to the designer’s website – if you find one, please let me know!
When I was a kid, my mom painted Transformer type gauges and buttons on the underside of my brother and my bunkbed. We had a lot of fun playing with them. This Gauges and Buttons Poster by Our Children’s Gorilla could be the centerpiece of a whole lot of games like submarine or nuclear reactor control room.
Kontextür made a cool cover for your tissue box – I dig! Clean and cute – I would love one of these.
The Kontextür Tissue Box Cover is an understated yet potent antidote to the potpourri of ubiquitous kitsch and oft-smudged metallic ones dominating the category. This thoughtful new design redirects the tissue box from its typical role, hidden away from view, and celebrates its function by turning it into an objet d’art. The iconic factory silhouette with its smokestack-like extension at the top serving as the opening for the tissues creates a strong visual interplay between the shapes, colors and materials.
Hello, pretty bathtub! Sean and I were in Pittsburgh for a wedding this weekend, and we stayed at a B&B on the way that had a bathroom bigger than our bedroom in New York. It felt pretty luxurious, and if I were to design my own bathroom, a tub like this would fit right in. The VOV bathtub by Mastella Design was inspired by the shape of an egg. Lovely!
When I think about Baccarat, an image of cheesy crystal animals comes to mind. But the company is definitely branching out into more interesting pieces like the Jaime Hayon collection of crystal containers.
Striking wallpaper design by Dan Funderburgh for Flavorpaper called Sharp Descent.
