Serie 3 of Simone Lourenço’s work is my favourite.
Amazing colour scheme, feeric shapes inspired by the plant kingdom and patterns in nature.

Found this whilst doing some research for my friend’s new visual identity (more soon!),,

Beautiful illustrations by Sanna Annukka, half Finnish / half English, into folklore and nature.
Pure eye candy! :)

Whilst research a visual identity project, I found Kamon Flash. They hav a library of Japanese Family Crest available for download in vector format. They’re absolutely beautiful!
Use and abuse, as per website notice:
All datas here are made by myself by real tracing jpeg data or pictures. Family crest itself is public domain in Japan therefore no worrys about copyright. I also cast it off so you can use either personal or business way.
Enjoy! ;)

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.

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 ;)
