Im Back

Last post was Monday, September 13th, 2010!!! How whack is that? But thanks to Mss B(lala) Im Back. The MisoSoup Design's K Workstation. I don't think I need to say much about why this is worth sharing. http://www.misosoupdesign.com/

"Tank You" Vase

This is probably one of my favorite designs of all time, the "tank you" vase. First saw this at the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Did not buy it when i had the chance, I literally just ordered it online before posting this.

Tank You is a love story between a tank and a flower. Designed by Thierry Galloni d'Istria, the Tank You vase spreads just a little cheer and optimism in these troubled times.

Strictly for the ladies...

Swatzstika

Never thought id be giving any form of Nazi influenced/inspired deisgn props but yo this is hot.

This bench was made for an italian fair and called "s(h)it on it". There is a cross (Christian) version in the same series.


On the subject of Nazi and design did you know that the all-black dress uniform of the Nazi Schutzstaffel or SS, in use from 1932 until 1942, was designed by SS-Oberführer Prof. Dr. Karl Diebitsch and graphic designer Walter Heck.^[3] From 1933, the Hugo Boss company was one of the firms that produced these black uniforms along with the brown SA shirts and the black-and-brown uniforms of the Hitler Youth.^[4][5]

Dope structures

Im a graphic designer buy training but the initial plan was architecture - got some doggy career advice somewhere along the way, hence my current profesion. I still love dope buildings though and these are some I captured on holiday in Europe. (graphic design is not a bad consolation prize though - i love what i do and will design buildings one day)
