/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Opening index

Must say I’m pretty impressed by the opening index of Shannon Sewell – who is an extra talented photographer mostly working with kids. Not only the pictures are lovely but demonstrate the level of skills and professionalism..

But back to the index, she took care of offering different devices such as desktop – iPhone – iPad versions as well as a link to her blog.

Investing in your users experience? Priceless.

‘My Theatre’

‘My Theatre’ is suitcase containing a colouring set for children imagined by Hina Thibaud. The inside of the box represents a landscape. Each item symbolize a part of the city: The child is an architect and participates to the layout of the suitcase by sticking his drawings in the background.

The project brings the child a protective feeling while travelling. They take their suitcase everywhere and transport their little world they have created, to feel more comfortable in a place they do not know.

This is such a fantastic idea and should be commercialized.

Cookie Cutter

Sandy aka Cookie Cutter – is a pursuit to be everything but. She is a crafter from sunny Singapore. She handmakes plushies, totes, and paper goods. Handmade plush and lifestyle products. They are cute but in a quirky way. With elements of childlikeness and fantasy to the designs, they are a celebration of forgotten innocence and unrestrained imagination.

Always with Honor

Always with Honor is a design collectives. Their mission is to create work that reflects their curiosity and pursuit of clarity. They love icon design and illustration so they would incorporate them into their work as much as possible.

When they had a handful of projects they were confident, started a blog, and clients came calling soon after.

Milleneufcent84

Milleneufcentquatrevingtquatre is a young French brand created by the collaboration Amélie Charroin and Marie Colin-Madan. Its name represents the year both these textile designers were born.

In particular, the Desert Shore collection is designed with stunning art. Defying and redefining what a ‘scarf’ as an accessory can look like!

Kontor Kontur

Kontor Kontur is a design collaboration working with details and concepts in Göteborg. They do graphic design, product design and interior design. The trio met at HDK School of Design and Crafts at University of Gothenburg.

Gotta luv the color-keyed object assemblages on their website homepage. Delicious!

Olga Scholten

Mixing eclectic and structured, Olga Scholten is an Amsterdam based designer, and her portfolio site, shows a thin balance of poetic and explorative. Through the years, she’s holding her own. On show, a collection of graphic design work and personal projects (1999-present).

Keeps it spinning and us, guessing.
