since '98

Le Creative Sweatshop

“Creativity is something you always work on” is a statement that befits what Le Creative Sweatshop do. Most of their projects involve paper. Be it as sculptural details they install in events or exhibits or advertising campaigns mixed with photography for clients. They even have crafted fashion items such as shoes (!!) and bracelets.

Very-very original work.

Made of paper?!?!

Discover the ‘paper’ toyz designed by Shin Tanaka, an xtra talented.. toy designer. Hardly believable that these are cut, glued and assembled. The intricacy of patterns and seamless details make me scratch my head in awe. How does one envision something like this?

Stunning!

Paper Dolls by

Paper Dolls by Estudio 401

“We dive into a utopian world with futuristic hair and eyes that indicate the end of the world. We finally decide to wear clothes of newsprint and in the name of globalization used, Asian designs. But first, we make a stop in Africa with earth tones and then finish back in the modernization of flowers and geometric shapes cut with scissors kamikaze.

Artistic collaboration project carried out as part of a series of works to promote the idea of recycling and sustainable design.”

Proyecto Ensamble

Fresh out! The Pick of the Crab just released Proyecto Ensamble, their opera prima. After an open call for contributions, 9 works were selected, sent to print and now sold as a block fitting kewl product. DIY taken to a brand new level! From Chile with luv!

2D wall reliefs

Joris Kuipers compelling mega 2D wall reliefs and drawings on paper root in body parts extracted from MRI, CT-Scans, etc. all in different shades of red.. for as he says: “for within, all of us is red.”

Everything and me

Justin Cooper from Society6 (making things good, by making good things) announces that Clemens Behr receives IDA Emerging Designer Award.

“Barcelona based Clemens Behr aka Everthing and me says garbage bags and cardboxes are cheap, beautiful, offer a lot of space, are always available, quickly to process, work without electricity and are actually meant for other purposes.”

Dig everything up! It’s worth it.
