Agnes Fries

I recently came across the Bottino line by Agnes Fries, the designs are inspired by the classic fishing float. I really like the grouping of similar designed objects. She also has some other amazing pieces as well.

I am fascinated by designing specifically for serial production and specialize in making functional objects that are both classical and conceptual. It is primarly ceramics but can also be furniture and interiors - as long as I get to play with balancing logic and sense with intuition and sensibility.

Børje Müller Photography

Børje Müller is obviously a great photographer but what I really envy is the amazing structures and architecture that he gets to experience. He has a great eye for spacial relationships. Giving the viewer a suggested scale of a singular element while capturing the whole the sum of the project is quite a talent. Make sure to check out the rest of his work.

Module Wodule by Niki Mihaylov

Module Wodule by Niki Mihaylov is a versatile piece of furniture that can be used as a bench, partition or even a shelving unit. I am sure there are other uses for this design as well. I like this idea because some times I tire of the furniture in my home and this would at least let you re-purpose and change it’s use a feel.

The chosen form allows you to make a large number of combinations for the assembly. Two versions of the module which are of one and the same outline but with different type of construction are chosen. The first one is made of solid material by joining several pieces. The second one is made by ribbing the longitudinal side of the module - the module is made of 8 plates cut by CNC or a laser which are linked together by metal.

Fifth Ave Apartment by Thomas Phifer and Partners

Thomas Phifer and Partners have some pretty amazing and original projects in their body of work but there was one that stood out to me. This apartment at first glance seems like a minimalist place with some very nice iconic furniture. The unique details are what make this place for me. The mirrored faceted inset windows are pretty unique. The grouping of framed texts together make more of a textural statement than “look at me I am art”. We also get a nice hint of some frosted glass, I think dividing some living spaces.

The work of Álvaro Tomé

While trolling around on Flickr I came across the work of Álvaro Tomé. There was one series of images that was very cool. Some may think these are masked “bad people” but I like how the artist lightened the concept by using colors and patterns to change the subject and feeling.
