Cheap Modern DeskConcrete sinks by Gore Design Co.
I am totally amazed at what Gore Design Co. is doing with concrete. For me their modern concrete sinks are their strongest design elements. Their different designs and concepts are pretty limitless, but their execution is flawless. I am totally digging on the geometric designs that they have. This is a small selection of images from their portfolio, make sure to go check out the rest.
Award objects by Fraser Reid
When I first saw these award objects by Fraser Reid, my first thought was, “that’s a great looking modern planter”. It turns out hey aren’t planters at all, they are actually awards, a trophy if you will. I think they need to be planters but the concept is really cool.
Since ancient times awards have been given out to recognize success and achievement, the modern ‘trophy’ is based on the vessels given out during the Olympic Games in ancient Greece which were designed to contain sacred oils. Over time the focus of the trophy’s form has shifted from a container to what is now merely a symbol of its past function The awards were created by casting synthetic plaster into sports trophy forms.
Wood shoes by Cat Potter
I recently posted about some wood grain clothing by CÉLINE And yesterday Jamie over at Design Milk posted about some wood ties. Now you can wear your wood grain clothing with a real wood tie and throw in some of these amazing wood shoes by Cat Potter. I don’t imagine these are very practical but they are seriously killer, almost more a pair of sculptures than shoes.
Extinct toys by Josh Finkle
YES! more killer wooden toys. Extinct by Josh Finkle are so…….. Cute? I don’t think I have used that word on plastolux before but I guess there is a first for everything. I really love seeing the creative process behind these killer little wooden animals.
Modern wood toys by Takeji Nakagawa, aka “Take-G”
I have “baby brain” right now due to the fact that we are expecting in June. With that I have been looking at “modern toys” or other unique toys for the babies room. Takeji Nakagawa, aka “Take-G” has a stunning artistic mind. Most of these stunning pieces are probably not considered baby toys but wow, you have to appreciate the details here.
Wood grain, Put it on!
It looks like I am not the only one obsessed with killer wood grain. CÉLINE 2011 Winter collection includes what looks to be some rosewood patterned woman’s clothing. I have to say, the pattern looks pretty accurate. I would totally sport some cargo shorts made from this. What do you think?
