It’s great to see Manvi from Mochatini.org getting a few mentions!
Check out her stuff! I’m sure you’ll agree she’s a good candidate for the award, Mochatini has got my vote!
I have recently been in touch with Chris Ferebee, who has kindly allowed me to share with you some of this innovative furniture design, under the microscope today is the H2 Shelving System.
The organic shelving alternative uses seperates pods, allowing it’s uses to construct the shelves to their own needs and requirements.
As a design blogger and student of architecture/design I am on the constant search for new and innovative products, designs and also the people behind them!
I should have done this a while ago, but today I finally went out of my way to create my blogroll and links page and I thought it would be worth while sharing it with you!
Before I begin, If you don’t already use a reader, I’m personally using google reader which is pretty solid.
Why would I want to use Google Reader?
The amount of information on the web is rapidly increasing. Google Reader helps you keep up with it all by organizing and managing all the content you’re interested in. Instead of continuously checking your favorite sites for updates, you can let Google Reader do it for you. From news sites to your friends’ blogs, Google Reader helps you keep up-to-date with all the online information that matters most to you.
All you need is a google account, and away you go…!
… I have developed my own little DesignTavern built Directory – It is comprised of a list of blogs and sites that I regularly visit! and certainly think are worth while checking!
Keeping up to date with the latest news is important and it’s amazing what you pick up even if you scan through a few articles every day – these are the blogs and sites that inspire my design thinking..
A great post from over at 2modern Design are these cardboard lamps !
They’re simple, cheap, visually effective and environmentally friendly – and if you’re a little creative could be a nice little DIY project!
I was fortunate enough to get in contact with Rod Hunt, freelance london based artist who has successfully represented the likes of BBC, Maxim, FHM, Orange and Vodafone..
As well as the cover art for widespread publication ‘change the world 9 to 5’
We have been kindly given a taste of Rod’s retro styled isometric work along with a bit of background and some great advice for up and coming artists.
Rod stresses the importance of knowing your rights as a working artist, along with the need to just get out there and show your stuff to the world.
So without further ado, the much appreciated and insightful interview with Mr Rod Hunt!
When I stumbled upon this design I was really blown away, not just the design itself but rather the theory behind it..
read on, you’ll understand what I mean..
“Nature shows us a beauty that exceeds our imagination. On the other hand, it contains a strength that is sometimes frightening. The forms of nature are unique and cannot be reproduced. This endows them with mysterious beauty and makes them fascinating to us”.
– Tokujin Yoshioka
