A Color Poem

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.

Deep Stambh Table

table designDesigners: Sanjeev panjabi and Sangeeta Merchant @ Spasm Design

The design studio, Spasm Design architects operates from India and East Africa with a non-compromising attitude which says “do not theorize, do not promote a method or solution and do not think the process is any way similar in every project.”

Love this table with South India traditional brass lamps legs!

More to come of this firm’s work on DesignFlute!

* Deep Stambh means tower of light/lamp tower/lit pillar. Deep is a lamp and stambh is pillar in Sanskrit and Hindi.

Deep stambhs have architecture and history of its own. Generally erected or made near a temple with many levels for lamps.

(Still pc-less I am. So working @1/10 capacity by hijacking hubby’s laptop now and then!)

who am i

A question mark born by DesignFlute

This is the most ancient self of me on this earth!

I look different now, changed. But one thing is constant – question. This is a question mark.

Who am i? I question myself constantly.

I wonder at the statement I always make in front of my kids and partner ‘don’t question me!’

Am I getting philosophical or just a little quirky?

At the moment I am motherboard-less!

But so what? Where is design? Hey! these are my designs, my digital art (first steps), DesignFlute art!

Wallflower 1

Artist: Norman Mooney

(Material: Cast aluminum and pigment)

Wall Flowers are new work by Brooklyn based artist Norman Mooney. This is his first adventure in colour sculpture.

The joy, the beauty, the wonder and etherealness of this bursting yellow pollen has taken my breath away and as I keep looking at the sculpture, goose bumps start playing their role!
