Dolos yard project, Okinawa

It is like a painting on a mud wall of India; only the modern version! A specific-design idea or specific design sensibilities seem to develop in some areas of the world automatically. We don’t like to stare at barren walls. By nature we are creative! We are designers.

You must have come across various posts about amazing designer bus stops (check my post and go here and here) in and around Russia. How did it start?

Now in Japan a new trend is developing. Fences or say specifically construction sites fences are painted beautifully.

Like these ones:

Thailand International Furniture Fair 2008 is long over (12^th March to 16^th March) but I am unable to brush aside what young Thai designers have showcased in this event.

Showing amazing creativity and respect to tradition Thai young designers have created these enveloping stretched seating comforts!

void

Designers: @ Creativoo

I couldn’t resist sharing these creations too of Creativoo designers with you. Creativoo is a multi-disciplinary design consultancy based in Shanghai, China.

Are you looking at these … speakers thinking why there is no sound ?!

Are you already shaking it?! (Nowadays I shake my CPU because it doesn’t get started!).

To me these products remind me something of sweet old gramophone design.

Hey! But I am not saying these are speakers or lights or some new age designer chairs!!

I am asking you what these are.

Use some brain salt and I already gave you a two hints!

tea anyone?

Designers: @Creativoo

A young team of designers @ Creativoo based in Shanghai, China have designed these teapots based on Chinese astrological mouse.

Well the mouse is not my favourite though I think first thing I learnt to draw was a mouse!

But I love these teapots. The perfect flow, a dash of origami and a golden touch by Creativoo designers makes these pots too cute!

Go check the whole range here.

And yes 2008 is Year of the Mouse.

stone age modern knives

glass knives

Designer: Noa Bembibre + a group of 13 University Art and Design students for The New Dining Luxury joint project

The designer isn’t satisfied borrowing inspiration from tradition of only few hundred years. In fact she goes million years back and finds her inspiration in Stone Age tools.

And then designs these modern glass knives!

What you say have we progressed?! 🙂

Designer Noa Bembibre’s work is on display as part of Hardcore – New Finnish Design @ New York Design Week 2008 (Meatpacking District) (guide here) from today.

vanity table

Designer: Nina Edwards Anker @ nea studio

I am mesmerised by the cuts and curves created by the architect – designer Nina Edwards Anker for these furniture. The designer works from Oslo and NewYork.

This vanity table is a multifunctional piece. It can be used as desk and incorporated bowl can hold your pens & pencils. It can sleekly fit into your bedroom holding your cosmetics.

But I would like to create a stunning atmosphere with some water and flower into that incorporated bowl!

This table is inspired by melting snow and icicles!

Like a crystal various facets of the chair catch and reflect the changing daylight.
