Enjoy!

Designs that keep me busy

No blogging for quite a while :( Just some posts here and there... Even my twitter is already missing at least a RT not to mention some new fresh shares... And all this is caused by those people who are tend to be known as clients... Those who give us bread but take our blood :)
I'm into several concurrent design projects at the moment and just to be polite with you and to let all of you know that I havent forgotten about my readers and guests who come here for the first time, here are the things I'm working over at the moment... A glimpes of some work in progress... I know it can't compensate a daily dose of design inspirations, but at least it's design, it can work for inspiration and it's fresh :) Enjoy!

Week 2: Best hand-picked inspirations of the week

This week was really full of exciting things, and it was tough to make the top 5 out of them. Yet, week's top must be really the best. So, here they are:

Inspired by Internet. Day 8

I'm just fresh from my trip to Lviv... Some glimpses of which you may have a look at..
Planned to skip this day, but want to keep things afloat, so though there are not so many inspirations today, but they still are here... So, enjoy! Thanks guys from novate.ru

TOPOGRAPHY UNDER YOUR FEET
With 3D getting into our life and becoming its integral life, no wonders, that an idea of bringing the 3d dimension to the everyday object has been already in the air. Someone smelled it first, and here we are - a multidimensional 3D carpet with the elements of typogtaphy

Have a look at more pics of this creative carpet or read more about its creator designer Laurens Van Wieringen 

LIKE IT LIKE WE DO ON A DISCOVERY CHANNEL FACEBOOK
Clikcing Tweet/Retweet, Digg, Stumble, Like has become your second nature? Sometimes you feel like damn, I wish I could it right now being offline... Think that liking/disliking some things when you are off facebook would be really cool? Then here's a solution for you - Like/Dislike stamps

See more pics of this amazing idea and read about the guys from Nation studio who created it.

ILLEGAL STICKERS
When you are fed up with a routine of border crossing, customs inspections and all the fuss, just put one of the available stickers from thecheeky.com and you are guaranteed lots of fun :)

See more stickers or other interesting stuff which I guess might get to the inspirations this week...

That's it folks... I'm off to bed to get some power for tomorrow full scale inspirations post! Check back tomorrow...

Inspired by Internet. Day 5

Happy Friday to the world :)
And here comes the Day 5 of the Internet inspirations... Today I tried to pick a bit of everything... Fashion, graphic design, furniture and architecture... Things that made me excited and left some WOW in me...
So, here we go!

RESTYLE COFFEE TABLE
Unless you live in a large villa, loft or a penthouse, you typically always think - Damn, I wish I had more space... For all those, who strugle for an extra square feet/meter, UK designer James Howlett created an amazing coffee table which can transform into different combinations - a table and two chairs, a bookcase, a dining table, etc

DIAMONDS ARE WOMEN'S BEST FRIENDS

Thus don't save on diamonds. And if you can't earn enough to present some diamond jewelry to your beloved one, then get 29 Euro (i.e. about 38 USD) and get a sparkling diamond to bring light into your romantic life... Provided you know how to screw in a light bulb :)

I think the light shed by this "diamond" must be really interesting to view... So far you can view some more pics of the Diamon Lights

FRANCE TO LONDON: MAPQUEST
Do you love travelling just the way I do? have you ever pinned the maps indicating the places you've been to? Yeah, that was years before GoogleMaps came :) While some people throw the maps away, others, like a French artist Elisabeth Lecourt who is currently creating her awesome stuff in London, make them art objects

Aint those really cool?! Just a regular map.. folded, adjusted, fixed... and here we go - a fashionable art object...  View some other great pieces by her here and here

NEST, SWEET NEST

Home... Home sweet home... Family nest...  Some people understand it way too literally...

Rahel Hegnauer, an artist from Zurich made such an installation to bring the notion of the family nest into everyday routine of the city... 

I'm just not sure whether the neighbours from a lower store are really happy with that... I guess that nest definitely blocks some light for their balcony...

Have a look yourself...especially here

I LIKE TEA... BIGELOW TEA...

Yes I like tea... I like hiqh quality tea,,, and I also like Chai tea by TAZO which is hard to get here and which is always welcome as a gift if you decide to present me some :)

And nice packaging matters as much as quality of the tea leaves... That's why I'd like to share some that I really liked... And was ready to taste tea inside just the very minute I saw the packaging...

Great design work done by Kristen Haff a yound designer from the Academy of Art in SF. 

More Bigelow tea packaging shots to enjoy here

MOMENTO TECHNOLOGY

And a thing which I was simply carried away with today. An awesome ad of facebook, youtube and skype as if it were done in 60's. Just awesome!

Digg it here, if you like it. Though it already got more than 1K diggs. But it really deserves it!

Well, Friday is over. Time to enjoy the weekend! And I promise not to waste time and get more cool stuff for you tomorrow!
