Received an invitation from Work and Play, who are currently preparing a new webiste — upon arrival and seeing the beautiful picture on their placeholder — not hard to be eager to see what they do next.

Meanwhile visit their shop to zing up your closet with large sized graphics applied to tshirts.

20×200 is a Jen Bekman project who is also the founder/owner of a gallery. She launched both with the belief that people should “live with art – it’s good for you.” Couldn’t agree more. So what is the concept? Pretty smart and simple.
“As we see it, there are a lot of people out there who want to sell their art and a lot of people who’d like to buy it. They just have a hard time finding each other. ”
Introducing at least two new pieces a week in various size and prices, the original work is also available for purchase, if you are so inclined.

Gabriel Chacon aka Chakz just launched his KAOZ serie fashion line of sharp urban tees and messenger bags. Common in all, raw doodled like characters which the models have fun emulating the inherited attitude of each tee design.
Raw, fresh and driven.

Are you familiar with Piero Fornasetti? He was a Milan painter, a sculptor, an interior decorator, an engraver of art books, a creator of more that 11,000 items, a deviser of sceneries and customs, an organizer of international exhibitions and events. As far as the variety of decorations is concerned, Fornasetti’s production of objects and furniture is one of the largest of the 20th century.

_______
He is the one who also has created the modern Mona Lisa. The enigmatic woman’s face has been reproduced on just about any media..
Detourmoves a company that creates contemporary canvas (screensavers) for flat screens, came up with a clever idea based on his “Theme and Variations” concept, the Fornasetti Moves.

First and foremost, Blank Roast is an ecological and accredited coffee manufacturer based in Germany. Who can pass up on a good cup of coffee in the morning?
Secondly, luv their website. It’s just the right balance of information between the eye grabbing visuals based on their packaging. With the nice little iconic system leading to the different roasts, viewers receive pertinent information.
Simple, minimalist, beautiful.

Guess what these objects are (for)? On first sight kind of hard to figure out isn’t? That’s because Alfred van Elk which is a Dutch design industrial studio with more then 25 years of experience, received more than 25 design awards (!!) and creativity, stamps everything they touch.
Projects vary from small domestic appliances and packaging to consumer electronics and project furniture.
