L’agence d’architecture danoise Bayarch a présenté ce projet étonnant : la transformation des célèbres lettres “Hollywood” en hôtel de plus de 300 chambres, afin de garder le symbole intact tout en se servant de cet espace unique. Plus de visuels du concept dans la suite de l’article.
Une série de beaux clichés en noir & blanc de l’artiste norvégien Ole Brodersen. Ce dernier a décidé de parcourir le monde pour le photographier à l’aide d’un appareil Leica M6. Un rendu intime et de qualité avec un grain spécial dans ces visuels à découvrir dans la suite de l’article.
It seems that pets rather like UPPERCASE. Thanks, Melissa!
I recently received this nice image from Kathryn Hunter, proprietor of Blackbird Letterpress. She writes, “It is such a rewarding wait 4 times a year for the next issue. I have attached a pic of where like to read the latest issue. I live in Louisiana and we like to go out in the salt marsh way south, not quite to the actual gulf but almost. (Louisiana is bordered to the south by marsh before the gulf of mexico, though it is decreasing every minute) So I like to take Uppercase and sit outside, watch the birds fly overhead while I read cover to cover. Maybe with a cup of coffee, maybe a beer if it seems late enough to be proper. ;)”
Blackbird Letterpress will be debuting at the National Stationery Show this May. You can preview some of their cards, like this clever bear hug design, in their Etsy shop.
We wish Kathryn much success at the big show!

DesignHome House of Origin unRaveled :: answers by Marriët Willems
Dutch:: is…our homeland. Something we are, but can’t put our finger on.
Entrance:: when entering my home you will notice … the colorful wallpaper, original wallpaper from the 70’s. I bought it several years ago from two lovely 85+ ladies.
Style:: means… identity.
Inspiration:: comes from… the smallest things and is something that suddenly pops up in your head.
Gourmet:: is… Dutch food. From pannecakes to ‘stampot'(= mashed potato with vegetables). We really like typical Dutch food and we know that so many traditional dishes have been forgotten about by Dutch people. It was fun for us to re-discover some of these tradional and delicious dishes while working on our cookbook about Dutch Food: “Raapsteeltje (h)eerlijk eten in Nederlands” we ENJOY our new discovered meals!
New:: in my home is… our felt carpet in the shape of an owl. With this carpet you can make your own color-range like a puzzle.
Hobby:: I always make time for… reading. I just love to read, just give me a book and I read it. And since I have a garden I more and more start to enjoy gardening and growing my own vegetables (on a small scale)
Make:: I start creating when… I have a deadline. The weeks, days before a deadline we are sketching and making prototypes and experiments, that’s also creating.. But when the deadline is coming we are starting to make things with a purpose.
Outfit:: my favorite thing to wear is… a dress. It makes me cheerful and I just love to wear a dress.
Enjoy:: I can’t live without… ‘gezelligheid’ = ‘a homy-feeling’.
House of Origin are Marriët Willems and Simone Kroon … a design studio with several disciplines, but a focus on Food design. During their study at the Design Academy in Eindhoven their fascination for traditional crafts began. They created, designed and styled special dinners, food installations and several cookbooks.
Image above shows their latest Food installation at the Salone del Mobili 2010 in Milan… Brainfood
I was smitten by these Color cakes and loved this idea of a Color Diner! If you are interested to work with House of Origing or need help for a special design, just shoot them an email.
