Serie 3 of Simone Lourenço’s work is my favourite.

New wall design commission

7th floor

We got commissioned to design 3 huge murals to run over 3 floors for a corporate client. The concept was supplied by ThinkSPACE, their interior design and architect company, who asked us to design 177 square meters of wall.

This is the design for the 7th floor, using the colours of their new interiors.

Recyled and pimped!

bordbar.jpg

Loving the re-purposed recycled airline hot trolleys that Bordbar produces.

Bordbar are original airplane trolleys that have been in use. Dents and scratches proof their use between the wings. Therefore, each trolley is somehow unique. Tokyo, Sydney or New York, or “only” London – Paris, the functional service-trolleys have travelled the globe.

Through Bordbar these original trolleys come to your place. The capabilities seem to be unlimited.

Bordbar takes advantage of the high requirements that are demanded to the trolleys by aviation. Premium material guarantees stability and longevity.”

I’m really happy to see more recycling and re-purposing happening, commercially. Now I need to save up ;)
