La Scala – Stepladder by Ludovic Avenel
The team of Ludovic Avenel, Christophe Bret and Emilien Marion @ Ludovic Avenel creates some extra ordinary beautiful pieces in woodworking.
I can hear some singing by just looking at this stepladder and so think the name cannot be more perfect – La Scala!
But I disagree this is not just a ladder, it certainly does not belong to a corner! I can put this piece anywhere, even use it in so many ways!
You need to check their other amazing designs here.
Chilliholder
Designer: Prabhat Mahapatra @ designdaku
Beware I say because I bet you have not seen anything like this ever. It was never designed before! It is a brand new product-concept.
Beware I say because it comes in a deadly combination – first the chilli, second the nourishing green chilli eating habit via the holder and thirdly this chilliholder is conspired by a design bandit (designdaku: daku means bandit in Hindi)!
Yes, if you are the one who can hear the crunch green chilli makes between the chilli lover’s teeth; if you know at least one person who loves eating chillies in your home (if you are an Indian then there must be a person in your house who loves his chilli, says so designdaku and I wholeheartedly agree!); if you are frying chillies with pakoris or having your ganthias (gujarati snack) with chillis and raw papaya then you know where to head and how to serve chillies.
Designdaku is a team of very talented young Indian designers who believe in catalysing paradigm shifts to bring transformative solutions and products.
And let me give you a last warning – beware: while making inquiries about their designs I had a very funny and friendly encounter with these designdakus. So go on, pay them a visit here.
Krishna
By Illustrator+Designer+Artist: Archan Nair
Indian artist, art director and illustrator Archan Nair has a very big client portfolio, won many awards and recognition and has a heavy web presence. But I would like to ignore all these.
I am a little biased towards self-taught people. Archan Nair is a self-developed artist. What else attracts me towards his art is obvious – colors. Amazing use and blending of colors make his illustrations an inspirational color-mine.

Love this table with South India traditional brass lamps legs!
