daniel loves objects

2009-04-08T20:23:00.002+02:00

The designer behind Daniel loves objects is an industrial designer who is currently residing in Singapore. He enjoys conceptualization for feasible concepts that fuses a poetic touch in it. He gets inspired by the things around him, the current products that sit around the environment to the animals and plants that roam around in the wild, even to the extreme of the political uproars that are happening globally. On his approached towards ideation of a concept, he tries to inject some form of interactive factor into it so that the user will have a form of remembrance when he relates with the product, a kind of reminiscence that will perhaps strike up some joy and relationship when a connection is made. He is always ready to be inspired from and aspired for the many objects that sit around us, knowing that design could always transform a certain mundane individual, allowing it to exude a form of language that will speak to the surrounding environment, expressing a form of finesse between human, object and technology.

recession on mags

2009-04-04T10:04:00.004+02:00

"The impact of the recession on fashion magazines has been severe, with some titles closing and others cutting back on staff and pages — or, in the case of Tar, a new indie arts biannual, half of Kate Moss’s face. The magazine, which will release its second issue on April 15, will undoubtedly draw attention for a cover image created by the artist Damien Hirst. It shows Ms. Moss with her skin pulled back to expose the muscle tissue along one side of her face. It is not the idealized cover image you might expect would help to sell a magazine, though the distortion is really not that different from the extreme retouching that routinely goes on at mainstream publications to make celebrities look “better,” only to make them look like aliens.."via nytimes/fashion&style

Those lovely Russian dolls belongs to Swedish Bantie..Bantie’s collection consists of sevenpatterns..In total there are 18 different colour combinations..They make cushions, floor cushions, table cloths, table mats, bags, cosmetic bags, wash bags and trays and Russian dolls..
Following is from Bantie: "Why is it, we’ve often wondered, that what’s ‘trendy’ isn’t always very personal? Why shouldn’t a genuine aesthetic not also be a little bit of fun? And why shouldn’t the contemporary cast a fond glance back towards the past? We started Bantie in 2007 as an answer to our own questions. To make what we believe in and what we like.."

Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischoff of Humans Since 1982 had created this furniture called "Celebrating the Cross"..Celebrating the Cross uses a cross structure as the base, but the textile aspect of the backrest and seat is even more interesting..The mesh is woven with string that adds a lot of visual interest to the piece, warming up an otherwise stark lounge.. There is also storage space for books by the head of the chaise..

hotel saint cecilia

www.hotelsaintcecilia.com
located in the heart of Austin, the Hotel Saint Cecilia resides on the estate of a historic 1880 Victorian and features a seamless combination of antiques, pop modern furniture and original artwork..the hotel takes its inspiration from experimentation of 60's writers like William Burroughs, the daring and extravagance of groups like the Stones in the early 70's and the defiance of convention embodied by artists like Miro and Warhol in the late 50's and early 60's...accordingly, the 14-room hotel features little odes to the art forms throughout: from killer soundsystems in the rooms — equipped with both turntables and iPod docks — to a library chock full of films and books on poetry, poets and musicians and an extensive collection of vinyls available for guests to check out and bring to their rooms..check out the hotel's website which has an old school cinematic vibe and it just swallows you up into the hotel's whole vintage-chic ambiance..simply love it..
