L’artiste chinois Enle Li a fait une série conceptuelle appelée « Fruit Juice ». Chaque fruit est pris individuellement sur un fond identique à la couleur du fruit, pour ensuite être pressé ou mis en bouilli afin de voir la quantité de jus qu’il contient. Le grand gagnant est évidemment la pastèque.
Milan 2014: what started as a conversation between Swedish furniture brand Offecct and Milan-based Fattorini+Rizzini+Partners at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in 2013 has come full circle with the launch of the MEET sofa (+ slideshow).
“Our very first meeting during Salone del Mobile in 2013 quickly turned into a fascinating philosophical discussion about what informal meetings mean, and from there Fattorini+Rizzini+Partners have carried out this project perfectly,” said Offecct design manager Anders Englund.
Design studio Fattorini+Rizzini+Partners‘ brief for MEET was for a sofa fit for different types of activity, from work and informal meetings to casual time.
“When we work on projects aimed at the environment between office and residential space, we always want to see and feel how this product will actually work in a space so it can be of full service to the people who will use it,” said chief designer Robin Rizzini.
“We wanted to create a sofa that gives you the feeling of being virtually anywhere,” he continued. “Offecct’s new sofa system MEET is designed for this purpose. Its functions address Offecct’s main areas: the sustainability and sound absorbing qualities of their products, the importance of injecting life through plants in indoor environments and Offecct’s craftsmanship in working with wood and fabrics.”
MEET was shown on the Offecct stand at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile last week.

Milan 2014: Dutch designer Frederik Roijé has created a series of metal trays that form criss-crossing patterns when stacked on top of each other (+ slideshow).
Frederik Roijé‘s set of three Texture Trays are made from bent powder-coated steel bars, which run in parallel diagonal lines.
These curve up at the edges and join a bar forming the rim around the top. A grid pattern is formed when the different-sized trays are stacked inside one another.
The two smaller pieces are designed to sit inside the largest tray.
“We were inspired by all the different textures around us so you can play with it and make different combinations,” Roijé told Dezeen.
Designed to fit together on a desktop, the trays can be used for organising files and stationery.
“You can put magazines and other things in there. We have all these phones, keys and stuff like that on the table so we wanted to put them somewhere,” said Roijé.
The trays were on show as part of an exhibition of Dutch design at Via Savona 33 in Milan’s Tortona district last week.

Non lasciatevi ingannare dal nome. Le Petit Parisien è una pettinata panetteria/pasticceria dall’animo francese fondata nel cuore di Dublino. Ma questo a noi poco importa. Il vero motivo di questo post è porre l’attenzione sul lavoro di branding ad opera dello studio Dynamo. Tutto è stato curato nei minimi particolari, dalla scelta del nome, al logo, alle insegne, menu, sportine, carta da imballo, etc. Un ottimo lavoro che scivola però sul sito web dove sono sicuro, il budget era forse finito.
From fashion to photography to furniture, recent years have seen a shift in the creative world’s overarching palette from highly saturated primary colors to a soft range of light corals, sea foams, baby blues, pale yellows and pinks. Some tones lean toward a more shimmery, nacreous vibe that melds well…

Swedish architect and designer Mia Cullin has produced a range of benches and stools with adjustable seats modelled on traditional wooden peg furniture and piano stools.
Mia Cullin‘s Orkester collection features benches with two or three seats as well as individual stools. The flat circular seats are attached to cylindrical pieces of timber by large wooden screws.
Four wooden legs are splayed from beneath the horizontal section of wood.
Mia Cullin said the design was influenced by a type of piano stool with an adjustable seat and “simple traditional wooden furniture assembled with plugs without any screws or metal fittings”.
“As the seats are adjustable, you can choose the height suitable for you but still sit next to your friends, parent or child,” explained Cullin.
The furniture is made entirely from ash wood, without the use of any screws or metal fittings. It was designed for use in schools and nurseries, but can also be used in waiting rooms, entrances and other public spaces.
The benches and stools come in natural or stained colour variations. Photography is by Mathias Nero.

Focus sur le studio de design Tata&Friends qui a réalisé ces illustrations et ces icônes de groupes de rock les plus célèbres. Une série d’affiches avec des noms telles que Radiohead ou Rolling Stones sur des graphismes simples sur fond jaune. Une manière originale de deviner les différents groupes en fonction des pictogrammes.
Le créatif Harvezt a fait la série « The Dark Side of The Covers » dans laquelle il imagine l’envers du décor de certaines pochettes d’album assez cultes. On voit donc les fesses du bébé dans la piscine sur la pochette de Nirvana ou encore l’agent de circulation qui permet au Beatles de marcher sur le passage piétons.
