steel sings the garden

Fern

Lily

A garden too lazy to grow up. Or if we are too lazy to look after a garden then the answer is provided by Alex Davis.

Indian designer Alex Davis creates poetry in his designs. He takes a tender fern and lily pond and then he takes a hard, stark material steel and creates a garden!

In his lazy garden bamboo sings, Olivia swirls, lily spreads, fern shy away and creepers just sit on window sill.

4 categories of ‘architectural plants’ like bamboo, lily, ivy and monestarial take root.

His creations are made of steel with laser cutting, hand craftsmanship and hand polishing.

These creations can be used indoor as well as outdoor and in water bodies too.

Not all the advertisements catch your eyes. This one has me thinking. I find these architectural advertisements very interesting.

Different by design-the catch line says. I agree the design makes all the difference.

Anyone wants to arrange their paraphernalia in this fashion?

In kitchen I certainly want to try my cups and saucers and blender and jug and mug and……..

On a meditational mood I say: these are the things we accumulate all our life and through them we seek our identity. Huh… heavy.nah….?

These advertisement are of soul space.

Product designer Vibhor Sogani touches little bit of anarchy, jumps to the bridge across, creates a metropolis and floats into crafts and tradition and puts before us a trance. Based in Delhi this Indian designer binds functionality with urban aesthetics.

wake up alarm For who donot drink water

24/08/2007 DesignFlute 3 Comments

This wake up alarm makes you drink water! The earlier you want to wake up more you have to drink.

This ‘wake up alarm’ is a calibrated carafe that measures the amount of water to drink before going to bed.

This is James McAdam‘s quirky way to make all of us healthy!

Intruders beware!

This cherry and steel table is for paranoid security seekers.

A ‘safe bedside table’ for the people who admit and for the people who donot admit that they need some kind of self defence while sleeping.

Here is a club as table leg and top as a shield!

James McAdam is a designer based in UK, (London).
