Kirsten Coelho - Porcelain and Iron Oxide

I have always been a sucker for a beautiful object with a simple Silhouette. The current work of Kirsten Coelho illustrates this concept perfectly. Maybe there is something to be “read into” these pieces. What is all beautiful glossy and white on the outside, could be rusty and tarnished on the inside, too deep? Either way they are fantastic and would look killer in odd numbers.

Modern objects by Minimalux

I really like these minimal utilitarian objects by Minimalux. The use of brass, copper and stainless steel create a stunning singular surface. The silhouettes created by these simple shapes is rather pleasing to the eye as well.

At the core of its design ethos are the opposite elements of simplicity and splendor, combining to form a unique and enticing identity. This is seen in the premium materials and lustrous finishing of the small, stark and simple Minimalux products - each one a lasting and jubilant celebration of a pure and elemental form.

Paper skateboards by Grow Anthology

This is not your typical post here on plastolux but I was really intrigued by these “paper” made skateboards by Grow Anthology. The boards are made from paper, pressed with resin making them the only skateboards/longboards made from this material. Waterproof, and coincidentally dishwasher safe… They are FSC certified as well as the only Rainforest Alliance certified skateboard. They also work with an organization to ensure a tree is planted for each board sold.

Lars Beller Fjetland

There is some great design going on at Beller from the hands and mind of Lars Beller Fjetland. I had caught glimpses of his RE-TURNED wood birds floating around the web-O-whatevers but he also has some other really nice projects. The wood and marble combination on the NUKI bench is so natural. The LINK leather pillows are super cool, the possibilities are endless with that design.

Carpets Kreo by Adrien Rovero Studio

I am really liking this series of adjustable modern carpets by Adrien Rovero Studio. Not only do you get texture out of the carpets but the design also gives you different “levels”. I don’t know if “levels” are a good thing or not, could be a tripping hazard to some. I have always been a fan of a monochromatic color scheme with loads of texture.

Les Poupées

I love the combinations of materials used in the Les Poupées, meaning dolls in french is a collaboration between Italian designer Luca Nichetto and French gallerist Pascale Cottard Olsson in Stockholm. The series consists of a candle holder in ceramic and a vase in glass, elegantly combined in one object. However, it is not the multifunction that is the heart of this project, but rather the melting pot of different cultures.
