Watch Sculptures

2011-10-21T17:44:00.000+02:00

Tiny sculptures by Dominic Wilcox, placed inside watches...

I have a new big project to show. I’ve put tiny figures onto watch hands in order to create mini animated scenes. I had the idea last year during my Speed creating project, but decided it was too good to rush. 8 month later I showed a prototype to Dezeen and they commissioned me to make a collection. The watches use customised model figures and I also made objects, like a miniature looted LCD tv. The glass domes were specially made to fit by Wearside Glass Sculptures in my home town of Sunderland at the National Glass Centre.

Slim Cup

2011-08-30T09:05:00.000+02:00

With the technology and design pacing towards the sleekest and slimmest look, The traditional cup also gets the slimmest look. The flattened ceramic cup comes accompanied with the ceramic saucer. It appears like a typical coffee cup from its front side, but at an angle of 90 degrees it shows its true shape.

IKEA Cookbook by Forsman & Bonderfors

2011-08-17T09:37:00.004+02:00

This must be the best cook book ever...

We wanted to ensure a connection between IKEA's kitchen appliances and one of the best things you can do in a kitchen, some great baking. So the main attraction in the campaign became a 140 page coffee-table baking book presented in a very visually unique and spectacular way. 90% of all the photographs taken in baking books look extremly alike. We wanted to try something different and present the recipes in a totally new fashion.

We let ourselves be inspired by high fashion and japanese minimalism. The idea of the book became to tone down the actual cake and put the ingredients in focus. The recipes are presented as graphic still-life portraits on a warm and colourful stage. And when you turn the page you see the fantastic result.

Jme - Package Design for Jamie Oliver

2011-08-12T17:04:00.002+02:00

Jamie Oliver is the idol of many. I am not an exception to the rule. Apart from him being irresistibly charming, as a graphic designer I am also drawn to the exceptional look of the products he sells. Look at them and tell me - is it possible not to ♥ them?

Stichting Concrete

2011-08-10T09:00:00.002+02:00

I think I'm getting obsessed with furniture made of concrete...

Stitching concrete is a project by using the new material Concrete Canvas.It combines the softness of cloth with the stability of concrete. Once brought in the final shape, you just have to water the material and within 24h it will alomst harden out completely. The challenge was to get into the material and bring it from its rawness to something new. Approching trough patterns, origami and stitchings a unique series of stools got born. Waterproof, fireproof, resistant against UV, durable. The fibre reinforcement makes it strong and the cloth gives back a warm atmosphere.

Kiel Mead - Birdie Light

2011-07-28T05:16:00.000+02:00

I have seen lamps made of many many things (i.e. the one made of Bic pens I wrote about recently), but this one by Kiel Mead - made out of badminton birdie / shuttlecock - is definitely surprising... More and more I catch myself looking around, spotting objects suitable to be transformed into lamp. And I'm on a lamp-hunt at the moment (to my freshly renovated kitchen), so it may result in something interesting.

Soft Nugat Packaging

2011-07-27T08:57:00.002+02:00

Maria Stylianaki is a graphic designer from Greece (island of Crete) and she just sent us her packaging for A new product line from Cretamel a family owned confectionery company in the island of Crete. Soft Nougat bars with fruits and nuts in 6 different flavors. A colorful and pleasant approach for this new packaging.
I like the combonation of white background, vivid colour distinguishing flavours and the transparent window showing the product.

Twig - The Miniature Terrarium

2011-07-26T09:12:00.002+02:00

Oki doki, it took me a while to be posting again, but I'm officially back. Everyone needs a little time off every now and then and it was my turn ;) Holidays were great, now back to reality!

In Poland we have a saying "Small is beautiful" and it seems to be so true when you look at these tiny little terrariums by Twig. Each one contains an almost invisible piece of life, sometimes you need a magnifying glass to spot it. Once you do however, there is usually a surprise waiting for you...
