Japanese architects Geneto have completed an interior based on terraced rice fields in Kyotanabe City, Japan. (more…)

Hitting the beach earlier this month to check out the festivities surrounding Art Basel Miami Beach, we of course met an overwhelming array of inspiring artists and designers who filled us in on the backstories behind their work. Below, we’ve gathered up a cursory survey of our favorites, but keep an eye out for upcoming longer profiles of artists such as Brian Dettmer, Kate Clark, Yeo-Seon Youn, Roberto Mollá and Jill Sylvia. You can also read about already featured artists Atsushi Takahashi and Jeremy Dean in earlier posts.

Shepard Fairey continues his anti-propaganda propaganda, tacking a new poster onto the end of a site-specific mural (which features collaged images of Fairey’s works from his recent massive show Supply & Demand at Boston’s ICA) in Miami’s Design District. Created to round out the mural, the poster outlines his manifesto using different font weights, which reads as his ubiquitous Giant image from a distance. (Pictured above left.)

At Design Miami we watched OK Go’s interactive performance, Les Danseuses (twirling fans) of Atelier Oï and explored the installation from Design Miami’s Designer of the Year, Maarten Baas (above right). Dutch jewelry designer Ted Noten‘s contentious handbags packed heat with guns engraved into acrylic, uniting accessories with fine art (above left).

We did some happy shopping at the FriendsWithYou studio and new boutique, which Sam Borkson and Arturo Sandoval filled with limited edition toys, clothes, paintings, sculptures and prints.

At Art Asia we saw Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi‘s “Fog” layer drawing, who prints photographs on transparent film to create one multi-dimensional image. Also a standout was New York-based, Korean-born artist Ran Hwang‘s “Dreaming of Joy” piece, a large bird comprised of red string.

One of the more exciting fairs this year, Pulse put forward a host of stimulating art. At the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery we fell in love with Airan Kang‘s LED digital book installations and our appreciation grew for artist Jim Campbell‘s ethereal LED animations.

Also at Pulse, Mark Wagner exhibited a massive homage to Lady Liberty consisting of 14 individual illustrations. The Brooklyn Artists Alliance co-founder drew on his dollar bill renderings from his series “Smoke In My Dreams” to form the cohesive piece made entirely from dollar bills (above left). London-based Dan Hays‘ entropic paintings break down to beautiful grids, but offer an even more captivating image from afar (above right). Focused on how media filters reality, Hays paints pictorial images to represent his discontent with society’s obsession with flawless pictures.

Kiel Johnson exhibited pieces from his “Publish or Perish” collection, including stereos, tapes, flutes, microphones and more, comprised of nothing but card and chipboard, tape and glue. Meticulously constructed, a birds-eye video shows his method for creating the pieces, all designed without the aid of a computer.

At
Nada, Patrick Jackson displayed his “Tchotchke Stacks” at the François Ghebaly gallery. Publicized by a Simpsons-inspired poster, Mr. Burns explains the tchotchkes are “signs of love—the perfect decorations for some drone’s cubicle.”

Nike’s Stages event and the Wolfsonian Museum‘s opening reception proved just as art-filled as the fairs themselves. Of the 26 talented artists exhibiting at Stages, the colorful work by Brian Donnelly—aka KAWS—stood out for both its vibrancy and seamless mesh of graffiti and fine art. After watching the eccentric Iowa-based performance artist Leslie Hall, we took in the work of Nymphenburg Porzellan (above right), producers of intricate porcelain art since the 18th century.

Hosted by Sushisamba, Graffiti Gone Global highlights include artists Jana Joana, Aiko Nakagawa and Cycle (from left), whose works illustrate graffiti is way more than illegally tagging brick walls.

San Francisco’s Astro Studios puts together a nice version of the awesomely played-out design firm holiday card. It’s modeled after that modern-day icon of obsoleting technologies, the newspaper, in this case, The Astro Works:

And finally open further to reveal the ultimate designer gift wrap, a cacophony of sketches, form explorations, and thumbnails all celebrating the process of design:

Stockholm-based Jarl Fernaeus works full-time as a graphic designer and art director, an occupation which feeds into his latest furniture and product range.

Citing typography as a key influence in the development of his works, he says “I think it’s important to find the right balance of the things I produce,” says Fernaeus. “It must have a clear expression of form while being charged with energy. At the same time I want things to work together and be used in a home or office over time without users tiring of them,” he continues, showing an eye for longevity as well as form.

The collection covers many bases including the clean lines of his Redux Chair, which sits happily in multiple locations, whether in an office, kitchen, meeting room or in commercial locations such as restaurants or bars. It comes in a simple white version or slightly more upmarket black version with hand-stitched leather upholstery.

Fernaeus’ well-executed sideboard features a Corian upper that contrasts the powder-coated sheet-metal detailing with industrial references.
Continuing the industrial feel, the Naked Lamp also uses the same laser-cut sheet metal and powder coating.

Like many brands and companies this year, with Naked, the designer developed an office lamp that would easily transfer into a bedroom or sitting room as a table lamp.

Fernaeus’ coat stand too shares a similar aesthetic with the rest of the line, allowing a little continuation for those who want to give some connectivity to their apartment or office.

Fernaeus’ strong collection makes him another promising designer from the land of the clean line who might well be advised to give up his day job.
