Adam Katz

Here a fantastic installation of communication designer Adam Katz.
" I was asked to create a typographic solution for Stefan Sagmeister's prompt of Things that I have learned in my life. My solution was to spray paint over 1,500 little green plastic army men day-glo orange and affix them to a window store front in New York City with my saying "All of my good ideas are battles." The piece remained up at 136 West 21st for over a month. "

Luca Nichetto for OFFECCT

Just seen during the Stockholm Design Week, this green solution for interiors by italian designer Luca Nichetto for OFFECCT.

John Stezaker

Do not miss the exhibition of British artist John Stezaker at the Whitechapel Gallery (London).

The artist combines in a very conceptual way parts of old postcards, portraits and books illustrations in order to create a new and subversive image. The exhibition runs till march 2011.

Linna Xu

A beautiful project of designer Linna Xu. A book on Tasseology, the ancient art of tea leaf reading, including a history, instructions on how to perform readings, a symbol guide, and reading diary where readers can record their results.

Anne Lorenz

Great idea! Designer Anne Lorenz brings the ugly luggage stuff in the interiors, and they actually look nice!

Alessandro Pasinelli

Finally an Italian stylist, is so difficult to find a good one! Check the moving work of Alessandro Pasinelli and his beautiful studio in Milan.

Mary Katrantzou

Ready for some fashion this Spring??

Mary Katrantzou did present an interesting collection, she did transfer interiors images into her pieces: "With this collection, I wanted to put the room on the woman, rather than the woman in the room". See the entire collection here.

Maurizio Anzeri

Italian photographer Maurizio Anzeri uses old images and combines them with embroidery work. The result is a surrealistic completely new portrait.

Buon Anno!

Dear Blog Friends,

you may think "hey where is she gone???"

No worries, I am still here, but I was doing that little thing that I need to do everyday from 9.00 till 17.00, ah what's called again? ahhh woooork!

So sorry for the silence, but work related projects & personals projects demanded my attention.

I take a short break now, while travelling through the "Bella Italia" I will be collecting inspirations to share with you in january.

Happy Holidays!
