Dune wall tiles from Urban Product (UP)
I was totally blown away when I laid eyes on these amazing wall tiles from Scottish émigré Stephen Lindsay. I would love to make a table top out of these with a piece of glass over the top. Maybe even a headboard. What about the front for a really large credenza? The ideas could go on forever. Wood, ceramic and concrete are materials currently on track for production. Make sure to check out his site because UP also has some very clever products. More stunning imagery after the jump.
Graphic Patterns - Jonathan Calugi
With my recent visit to Columbus Indiana which included a private tour of the Miller home I have gained a new appreciation for Alexander Girard. When I stumbled across the work of Jonathan Calugi I felt a strong connection between the two. Jonathan Calugi’s work is original and well done but I can see the simplicity of shape along with repetition of pattern in both these artists work. See more of Jonathan Calugi’s work after the jump.
Jonathan Calugi is an illustrator based in Italy and it is from his self-proclaimed chaotic workspace, that he creates his clean illustration and pattern works. Each piece is a take on his quirky child-like doodles with clean minimal lines and simple, uncomplicated colours.
And it is through these simple visual works, that Jonathan draws in viewers to a basic stand and cultivates appreciation the very epitome of the common phrase of “Less is more”. A very good nudge away from what can be a messy and rather perplexing world at times.

Large scale photos - Magma Brand Design
I have always loved large scale images used in interiors, although it takes a brave soul to use them in your home. I think German based design firm Magma Brand Design have applied this technique successfully in two projects. I really like the images used in what I assume to be a book on the retro scooter culture, very cool. Does anyone out there have large scale photos in their home? Make the jump to see more pics.
PLEKS - Creating Visual Futures
PLEKS out of Copenhagen does a fantastic job of incorporating typography into their environments. They have such a great esthetic, I am sure influenced by their Danish surroundings. More after the jump.
The tension between research and practice informs our work. We balance the use of design as a strategic tool with craft-based traditions of value and quality.
