Relevant and Refined, Nishimura in Beijing.
Often times in Interior Design the challenge to be fresh and relevant is conflicted with the need to remain refined – making smart decisions becomes a necessity. In western design this challenge is often met through the use of natural elements to create and define the interior space.
Architects at CL3 achieved this balance through their design of the Beijing restaurant, Nishimura, located within the Shangri-La Hotel. CL3 utilized the sculptural properties of wood to its fullest potential, building art into the actual design. “We try to avoid just buying artwork at the end and putting it everywhere. But here we didn’t work with another artist. Instead, we built art into our design,” explains William Lim, managing directors of CL3 in an interview for Architectural Record.
The space is approximately 5,400-square-feet of wood, slate, pebbles, sand, bamboo and water – making way to the design theme which was Natural Garden. The project was completed in April 2007.
Genius with Stanley Knife – Lizzie Thomas
Lizzie Thomas is a UK-based self-described ‘artist & maker’ and an incredibly talented papercraftsperson and woodcutter.
She works in largely in 3D…
… and does some pretty amazing installation work.
I love the suggestion of the merging of indoor and outdoor space in this piece.
This life-sized greeting card looks to me like the love-child of Tord Boontje and Beci Orpin.
Lizzie takes on commissions and her work is also available for prop hire. Check out her website for more info.

Fantastic photographs by young artist Levi van Veluw, a multidisciplinary artist, who lives and works in the Netherlands. I really like the simplicity of the idea and the visual final effect. You can also check out his new sculpture which was shown in Ronmandos gallery (Netherlands).
