SKINS & PATTERNS

I love skins and patterns, this is one from Hong-Kong-based Young and Olina. They created new cosmetic surgery in Florence, Italy. The archived the glowing skin by applying a translucent laminate glazing DuPont to the walls.

Cermics that increses on the walls

Today when we have explored the world of wallpapers, other trends starts to take form. As putting parts of ceramics on the walls. A lovely idea since you can make so many tactile textures out of this fantastic material. Those are created by Jennifer Prichard Design. She creates porcelain installations in which individual porcelain pieces are installed directly onto walls, all pieces are handmade in their studio.

stickers on walls

Today we don't bother painting the whole walls. Small, nice wall coverings are decorating our homes nowadays. Easy to change and easy to put up. Here are some from a Swedish company Mr. perswall.

Lisbett Wedendahl

This is some picture of Lisbett Wedendahl home - a stylist and photographer from Copenhagen. I love the combination between the pure white and black floors together with some Asian details. From purple area you can see more of her home here.

Waffles sneaker store

The wall behind the counter and the counter itself are covered with white tiles to give the space a bakery feeling. The shelves are simplified waffle shapes made out of coated foam. The cutaways in the waffle shapes proudly present colourful shoes. This creates a delicious contrast while a mirror behind every cut-away shows us the other side of each shoe. And to top it all, a special waffle perfume will make your feet hungry.

Ayako murata @ Diesel Denim Gallery

Architect Ayako Murata has created an installation at the Diesel Denim Gallery in Aoyama, Tokyo. The installation, consisting of cables and lamps used on construction sites, creates a series of arches and columns suggestive of classical architecture, but suspended from the ceiling.

text from the architect:

SUSPENDED FIGURE

This space imitates the space of arches and pillars, the classic type of architecture, using cables and lampshades used in the construction site. Originally, the space of arches and pillars is built up from the ground against the gravity. But, in this space, the pillars that originally support the weight of the arches are suspended in the air. And these arches do not collapse if they are cut off in the middle because the arch- and pillar-like objects are just the set of the cables and lampshades hanging independently from the ceiling.

However people lay the common image of arches and pillars on this space. Therefore they feel the lampshades for construction sites as the decoration of the pillars, and feel amputated arches and suspended pillars unnatural. These feelings show us the strength of the images or fixed ideas we hold toward the common figure.

Material
The cable and lampshade are the material inspired by denim. Denim derived from the work wear and has evolved into fashion item. And its history is the creation of new sense of beauty and value, like “decolorization,” “vintage,” etc. My proposal is another try to show the new sense of beauty hiding in rugged material.

origami - curtains

I love origami, and I love these curtains by Hannah Allijn. I don't really understand how they work, but they make a brilliant impression in the windows.
