Futureland

Amazing renderings from by Olalekan Jeyifous. A lot of personality, and I'm curious about how they were created.  Says "digital media on paper".  I first thought it was watercolor, which I'd like to get back into, if I ever had the time. Kudos, anyways.  P.S. "The Furies" series on the Vigilism website (linked)  is great.  Reminds me of a graphic novel meets old school architecture book.

Oh to be a fly in that dust cloud...

It just so happened that the dust cloud descended on this year's Salone del Mobile.  A bad sitch for those inspired designers and enthusiasts stranded in Milan... but then again they've got some intriguing company.  All this gets me excited for NY's design week(s)... just got my ICFF badge.  A few highlights from abroad- Formafantasma, Humberto & Fernando Campana for Nodus, Studio Job, Droog, & Ingo Maurer.

Rectilinear? Don't even.

The Holon Design Museum, Israel's first design museum, by architect Ron Arad.  It has its grand opening this month.  Seeing some Gehry & FLW?  Is it now the norm to visit museums to see the exterior instead of what's on display inside?  If so, I'm not opposed.  Because nonetheless, its still new to me.  Those colors are stunning.  As long as it doesn't distractingly creep inside, which in this case, it doesn't:

The first exhibition is called "The State of Things" and displays a hundred objects by designers who are impacted by contemporary issues.  I love that they've thrown some humor in with issue categories like Mutant Remix, Social Anxiety, and New Essentialism.  Also Maarten Baas is one of the designers, along with several other notables.

On another note, I kind of reached a milestone this week with my first company business cards.  Yay!
