I spotted this chair on Joe Nunn's and Markus Bergstrom's 'Glass Hill' site
http://www.glasshill.co.uk/GH_ALL.html
It is a collaboration between the furniture and interior design duo and David David fashion company.
The chair's simple block shaped structure is school-like, matching the geometric colourful designs created with colour pencils.

a brilliant eclectic images, I was in Covent Garden the other day and popped into their pop-up shop:

Two Edward Bawden books on my wishlist. His linocuts have been my favourite for a number of years now,  

and even today his prints are relevant in their bold shapes, layers and perfect matching of colours:

Little printers, suitable for smart phones, printing tickets out?

Hello, my name is Maya Alvarado. On this blog is a selection of things that have caught my attention, things I have seen over the last few weeks and the kind of work I like to create. I love making out of wood and the joinery that it takes to do so. Printing (screen, lino & etching) really interests me and I hope to continue with these over the near future.

'Tis the season to be moving....

I hope you enjoy looking around the blog.

I like the quality of the shiny fabric

about me

The museum of everything at SELFRIDGES

http://musevery.com/

This exhibition #4 is supposed to be about language and communication by artists all with some form of learning difficulties. I talked to a volunteer who makes automaton sculptures about this, but I could not find too much about it on the website or flyer. Maybe it is all up for your own interpretation.

A lot of the pieces had this graphic communicative feel:

I love these black and white images:

And this colourful man

The text and shape aspect of the images show they are communicating something, or at least expressing through this. Although they are in a large department store, the museum have kept the sense of their last place in primrose hill, limiting their space by the walls, still having an upstairs and packing the space with lots and lots of brilliant work.

I have done series' of stitch portraits before, I like this shiny colour-mix fabric I found in a fabric bin at my old school.

cool typography

PLAYTYPE

e-Types are selling their 'PLAYTYPE' items at KK Outlet,

I loved the handle-less mugs.

The variants of the font are all bold and iconic.

After the galleries me and Barbara went to take a look at her dad's shop. They were doing a special event with wallpaper and covering Columbia Road with it!

Then we went to his studio which was tucked in a fauna covered courtyard passage, which you are led into through the cutest wooden door:


I was lucky enough to get a few seconds tiles which I think are beautiful!!

sorry the pictures aren't better!

We also stopped off at KK Outlet's 'Object Abuse' exhibition. It was really cool to see what the artists/designers did with their brief to 'remould, rebuild and repurpose' an everyday object. There were some great inventions that came out of this:

Dominic Wilcox's Paintbrush hooks - usually it's irritating when you leave your brush in glue and ruin it, but he's managed to turn it useful:

A less sporty use of a racket:

Recycle-friendly cycling mask

Wilfred Wood's (great name) handlebar chandelier

But my favourite has to be the TV Cabinet-turned-Mechanical Screen Printer by Matthew Tully

 I'm trying to remember where I came across this printing chair recently, I think it was another blog, but it's by this same guy a set/prop designer/maker based in the east midlands:

The little zine of making instructions is worth getting, then you can make all these for yourself:
