The Lego Kitchen

This is a mammoth size achievement: The Lego Kitchen created by Munchausen, a duo formed by Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, where they customized a basic IKEA kitchen island bar and then spend a full week covering it with more than 20,000 Lego pieces!!!

Have a look!

Katie Kirk lovelies

Luv the work of Katie Kirk whose illustrations are often kept very simple yet elegant by using solid elements in a limited color palette against an opaque background. Shown, two of the New York series.

You can also have a sneak peek at her home and studio spaces. Lovely!

Super(b) Katrin

Superb is the work of Katrin Olina a multi-disciplinary designer that has pretty touched just about every media: illustration, graphic design, environmental design, animation, interior design, fashion, textiles.. The Cristal Bar (Hong Kong) is a fantastic example!

“An interior based around graphic art and the application of a visual language in an entire space. In this project she exploits the film and printing technology of 3M to create a huge seamless painting that expands throughout the four interconnected areas that cover a floor area of 1200 square feet!

The bar countertop is encrusted with more than 300,000 Swarovski crystals, which are illuminated from above by a ripple projector, and below by multicolored LEDs, in that way the counter’s surface changes hues while shimmering in undulating waves over the course of the night. ”

Shock full of life

Here is a photographer, Michael Alberstat who is versatile and accomplished in a rainbow of assignments: kids, lifestyle, food & drink, still life and interiors.

His shots are vibrant and shock full of life. He has a keen eye for color balance and perception.

More wall decals

Did my first wall collage when I was 14 over the felt burgundy (awful) wallpaper my mum was so proud of.. was she ever so very angry with my new found creative endeavor which I went on to apply to all kinds of surfaces including dining and working tables, bookcases and.. more walls.

Since, I have kept a penchant for flat art that blends on walls such as wall decals. Luv the smooth effect whereas there are no distinction between the surface it is applied to and the artwork.

Showing some of my fav from the Bodega collection.

Freunde von Freunden

Freunde von Freunden is an interview magazine (text and video in German only) that documents the creative work and habitats of mostly Berlin based individuals, whether at home, in the studio, in their apartment or neighborhood.

Take a look, worth it if only from a visual point of view and if you are curious of how other ‘creatives’ environments.

Eco-chic stickers

Hommu produced eco-chic wall stickers. Gotta luv the Paella (one of my fav Spanish dish) and Gazpacho — which surprisingly really look good on walls other than the kitchen.
