I love a good bit of needlepoint, who doesn’t?
So when I came across these abstract pieces from CRESUS artisant, I was smitten.

Recycling Chic
Recycling, on the whole, is a fairly boring topic. But Degross Design & Innovation are a design company
that makes recycling chic!
They have produced a sustainable design project called, ULTREM LUX, where they take old glass bottles and reuse them to create beautiful lampshades.
The used bottles were discarded behind their studio and have
been lovingly transformed into something entirely new.
I want the table lamp – Lovely stuff!

Typographer or Wannabe?
A typographer
needs to have a keen eye and with this clever typo-meter eye examination
chart
from Brainstorm Overload, you’ll be able to tell your pros from your wannabes.
Depicting 45
different typefaces, this poster is available to buy… but best to get your skates
on, there’s only 140 prints.
Get yours here.

two birds with one stone
I
wouldn’t profess to be at one with nature… after being brought up on a ruralish
Island, surrounded with nature and wildlife maybe I’m just a bit numbed to it.
But after spotting this great little (well… big) birdhouse, I might change my mind and become a bit of a twitcher!
Designed
by Nando, the aim of this project was to increase access to nature activities.
This tree
house combines housing one person along with 78 nesting birds and what’s more, it’s
a really clever design, what's not to like?

Vases – Inspired by loss and memories
Hadgar Glick, an Israeli designer has produced a series of
beautiful vases that are inspired by loss and the memories associated by loss.
From the fairly obvious cracked vase to the more unusual and
beautiful copper-coloured, slinky-like vase which is a nod to jewellery and the
memories that are held within pieces that are passed down the generations.
I think this is a really touching collection and you’re guaranteed
to find at least one vase that appeals to you.

On yer bike...
I’ve never been a massive fan of the iconic
Missoni Zigzag print. That is until today.
I love the new Missoni for Target bike… I
don’t think I’ve been on a bike since I was a child, but maybe it’s time to
dust down my high-vis vest and give this retro number a shot.

TypeFACE posters
I love a good typeface project and this ‘type face,’ poster
series is a great light-hearted example.
Designed by Tiago Pinto, this project uses different
typefaces to create fun faces.
I don’t think design should be taken so seriously all the
time!
What’s not to like?

The Wooden Lightbulb
This unusual wooden light bulb is an unlikely yet beautiful
product.
Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern LED lighting,
Ryosuke Fukusada has painstakingly chip out just enough wood within the bulb to
emit a stunning glow when the LED is switched on.
Gorgeously clever stuff.

Mental Disorder Posters
Really loving this considered, minimal posters depicting Mental
Disorders.
Created by Patrick Smith, his layout and minimal approach and ideal
layout creates a really strong series.
A very clever way of visually representing mental disorders.
Check out more of his work here.

Mixing up my notebooks.
I’m a massive fan of the classic Moleskin Notebook, whether its a sketchbook or my trusty diary, I’m moleskin all the way.
But after seeing this quirky little book by
Tan Mavitan, I might have to mix up my notebook choices.
Great Stuff!
