LIna Florence - patterned dance floor

Wallpaper designer Linda Florence created a patterned dance floor of sieved icing sugar at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, which served as a stage for a performance by ballroom dancers.

As they moved, the dancers’ feet created new patterns in the sugar, which had been dusted over the floor using stencils.

The sugar dance - officially called the One of a Kind Tea Dance - took place last month as part of the V&A’s Friday Late event on 25 January.

concrete blond

As part of designersblock 2007 concrete blond exhibited a new range of ‘walled paper’ patterns alongside the
launch of various new textures and surface treatments. Οrnate wallpaper patterns are embossed onto concrete surfaces, transforming the traditionally brutal aesthetic of the material.

Andyland found this italian company called Missoni home. Some cool stuff but also contain some of the traditional Italian crazy style, which I don't prefer.

Lara and John Tusher of velocity art and design have upgraded their new store and website. Fantastic products and vector art displayed on the above picture.

Nienke Sybrandy's ASCII curtains

by: emmas designblog

A dutch designer named Nienke Sybrandy's made these fantastic tree patterned curtains.

Sure, tree silhouettes is nothing new, but this one is different. Look closer, and you will see that it is made up of this totally nerdy ASCII art! (That is short for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, and means the picture is made of numbers and letters, a method that was commonly used before computers could show real graphics.)
