May 20, 2013 | posted in Design | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Very nice sculptures build of concrete and colorful steel by London based designer / artist Fabrice Le Nezet. I worked here on a physical representation of the idea of measure.

From the year of 2000, Kokeshi Matches are mass[...]

Love this line of artworks slash furniture by Japanese design studio YOY called ‘Canvas’. What seems to be printed canvasses, are really frameworks covered with elastic fabrics that change into sofas when leaning into them. Great, although the pictures could have been a little more exciting… _ _ _

Malaysian designer Junji Kawabe designed this great lamp, that changes strength of its lighting by adjusting the weight on top of it. The heavier the object, the brighter the light will be. Simple and great. _ _
