A sprawling grid of timber cubes covers the ceiling of a restaurant in Singapore by designers Brewin Concepts.
The Fat Cow Restaurant is split into three equal sections, which comprise a bar and lounge, a dining counter and a set of five private dining rooms.
Diners enter the restaurant through a thick copper-covered door and approach each of the rooms through a curved corridor lined with illuminated glass blocks.
In the main dining room the wooden cubes evenly circulate overhead, while the grid extends more chaotically around the ceiling and walls of the lounge.
Randomly distributed light bulbs illuminate the timber cubes, which also provide the framework for shelves at the bar.
The restaurant occupies part of the ground floor of an 18-storey medical centre designed by Richard Meier – you can see more stories about the American architect here.
Restaurants filled with timber lattices have been popular in recent months on Dezeen – see our earlier stories about one with a woven net of bamboo across the ceiling and another with timber slats descending around the dining tables.
Here’s some more information from Brewin Concepts:
The Fat Cow Restaurant, Singapore
The layout of the restaurant is divided into 3 sections, the entry bar lounge, the private rooms, and the formal Shabu dining counter, each to have a capacity of 20 people. The main circulation spine is located along the curved edge of the restaurant, also the perimeter of the circular building plan.
This 12m long curved passage way is flanked by the existing glass brick wall on one side and a new curved wall on the other, with openings that lead to the respective 3 sections.
The exterior white 1m x 1m facade grid of the building inspired the internal three dimensional ceiling grid, present throughout the restaurant, broken into 50x50x50cm and 25x25x25cm cubes.
The grid provide lowered ceiling spaces that further enhance different areas in the restaurant, also serve as storage and display shelves in these areas.
The same grid pattern also inspired the movable partition screens in the private room area. Hung off a ceiling track system, the movable translucent screens provide flexibility to the 5 individual rooms to suit the space requirements for different size parties.

Set to bring joy to even the most hardened of graphic designers, a new book from Gestalten provides an illustrated history of graphic design, complete with cut-out-and-keep designers (Messrs Rand, Tschichold, Bass and Carson, shown above)…
With an all-star cast, Graphic Design History for Rainy Days, takes the reader on a gentle tour of the subject, courtesy of a time-travelling grandfather and his enquiring grandson. The book is designed by Studio 3, the in-school design agency at the Graphic Design Department of Westerdals School of Communication in Oslo.
As the pair journey from the time of the industrial revolution, right up to Jessica Helfand’s mid-90s design studio (above), they meet everyone from Max Bill and Wim Crouwel, to Neville Brody (below, doing the talking) and Paula Scher in between.
Graphic Design History for Rainy Days is a charming take on the medium and, as is the current vogue (see our own paper toys posts and the figure that comes free with the current issue of CR), the book even contains a selection of cut-out designers, your own Bauhaus diploma, and a miniature Apple Macintosh that can be assembled in about 10 minutes, shown above.
This is one for the Christmas list.

Laura Di Francesco's work is so whimsically peaceful that it makes you feel light, safe and happy. This print and this print are especially sweet, and I can't help but love this print as well. Since I've been living in the country for several years now, I find that art that depicts nature in soft serene ways really resonates with me because it is what I experience out here.
101 has created this captivating television spot for Avios, to promote the recently rebranded airmiles scheme…
The spot, which is directed by Simon Ratigan, features a number of household objects, such as a lawnmower, CD player and a washing machine, flying through the air, in order to emphasise how purchasing everyday objects through Avios partners will help you travel.
All the objects featured in the ad were shot genuinely flying, having been fitted with remote-controlled motors by Rupert Brandon-King, who stars in the brilliant making-of film below. Happily, the making-of eschews the usual advertising wheeze of showing the brand managers describing the ad, and instead shares clips of the machines in the ad not performing to order, especially the barbecue, which Brandon-King describes as his “nemesis”.
Avios changed its name from AirMiles in September: see CR’s write-up on the rebrand here. 101 has also created a new print and poster campaign for the brand, examples of which are shown below.

Missouri-based artist Matt Hawkins of Custom Paper Toys has been making paper toys since 2007. He features in our paper toy feature in the December issue of CR but here is a selection of his paper creations (which include this banjo-playing robot, above) plus a short Q&A with the artist…
Creative Review: What do you love about working with paper in this way?
Matt Hawkins: You can take the most 2-D thing in the world, a piece of paper and transform it into a 3D object – that’s the basic magic of the thing that pulled me in. Add to that the internet and you can send a 3D object anywhere all over the world. Like a low rent teleporter!
Another thing I love is that it takes out alot of the hurdles you face when making a traditional toy, no factories, no shipping, no commerce. Just sharing things I like to make with those who want to participate. Plus paper is abundant, versatile, instant and humble.
CR: Is this something that you will always do – or do you think it will lead to another way of working?
MH: What I love most is a good technical challenge in a the pursuit of a creative goal. So as long as I can continue to push myself and my art, like making moving parts, automata or most recently large scale gallery pieces, I think I’ll still be drawn into this artform. It may fade from the “trend reports” but the things that called me to it will always be there.
CR: Do you think that, in some ways, the economic climate is helping the popularity of paper toys?
MH: I think the economic climate has certainly increased the popularity of papertoys and really brought in a lot of “commercial work” for me. I also think as we move forward into a digital age and books and information go from paper to digital downloads on a mobile devices the popularity of paper toys and pop-up books will continue to rise, there will be more value in these things that are real and physical and hands-on – this is what paper can do that a digital screen can not.

Just because we’ve now passed Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and whatever nonsense names Saturday and Sunday have been given, doesn’t mean that your window to shop has been closed forever. Sure Best Buy and Wal-Mart will still happily take your hard earned scratch, but why not purchase from somewhere a bit more worthwhile. This year, the foundation behind Philip Johnson‘s Glass House will be opening not only a pop-up shop in its native Connecticut on a handful of dates, but has also embraced the internet, now offering a whole slew of great, often Glass House-specific gifts. For the budget shopper, there are things like bookmarks and this great puzzle version of the house’s appearance on a New Yorker cover from 1967. And for those of you shopping for, say, design bloggers whose value you perceive to be unparalleled and should be rewarded as such, there’s items like this signed Julius Shulman photo of the house, or Paula Scher‘s print, Modernism USA, which blends the Glass House with the Farnsworth House (just let us know if you need our addresses). Best thing about shopping there is that proceeds support general operations, educational programs and preservation of the entire property. Here are the details:
To kick off the New Canaan Holiday Stroll weekend, The Glass House Visitor Center + Design Store, located at 199 Elm Street, will open its doors on Thursday, December 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional shopping hours will also be held on the following days: December 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17. The Glass House Design Store offers a well-edited selection of products for men, women, children and the home, featuring items that are inspired by the Glass House site and highlight the latest in eco-friendly materials, production techniques, and design concepts from around the world. Holiday shoppers can book advance tour tickets on select dates in 2012 before they are officially released to the public next February – available dates include May 4 – 6; July 4 – 6; and September 1 – 3. Ticket purchases must be made in-person.

I’m loving the BARkwadraat table, designed in a collaboration between Eveline Pieters’ Green Tuna Design brand and Joene Verschuren, a former art therapist turned furniture designer. The BARkwadraat features precisely carved legs (CNC’d by the look of them) that interlock and snap together via embedded magnets, making it an extra handy flatpack table that can easily be assembled without tools. Added bonus: The top is made from one of my favorite materials to see being used—scraps and cutoffs.
Here’s how it all comes together:
