work by Hanna Wering

Some creative people seize to amaze me, it`s like they can do everything and have no limitations. Like Hanna here, she designs fabrics, wallpapers, bowls, fonts, packaging and so on!

She also has an impressive list of clients, like Anna Sui, Dagmar, Ikea and lots and lots more. Want to see more of Hanna, take a look at her porfolio.

Nina in vorm

This week it`s Nina`s turn, nina in vorm that is. Nina is a Dutch blogger, but not only she`s keeping a blog she`s also an artist. I`m truly in love with the vintage cermacis she screenprints with her own illustrations.

Nina`s blog is very unique I haven`t seen anything like it. She`s a also a star at styling her own pictures/products. For more Nina go to her blog overhere.

Domestic Animals

Domestic Animals is a design by Guus van Leeuwen. The animals are made from copper heating tubes, on top is the skin of the actual animal.

Guus was inspired by the old days, when farmers used to sleep above the barn, to profit from the warmth the animals produced. Guus has more great design, wich you can find at his website called gewoon Guus.

Thread Social A/W 2009

Thanks to the lovely blog oh Joy I learned about the clothing brand Thread Social. I love their A/W 2009 collection. Great color use, love the geometric patterns and the shoes are toe die for.

One of the first blogs that got me into reading blogs was the blog Bloesem. Bloesem is a blog written by Irene who lives in Kuala Lumpur.I must say that Irene always manages to write about things i haven`t seen on other blogs.

Bloesem also has a little sister blog (or is it brother..?) called Bloesem kids, wich is dedicated to crafts, art and interior design for kids. So if you have some little ones running around, i recommend visiting Bloesem kids as well.

Hella Jongerius

Hella Jongerius is a familiar name in design land. And one of my favorite product designers.
She has a lot of projects on her name. The first time I discovered Hella was through her Souvenir Delfts Blue set B. Several typical Delfts tableware got scaled down and became a charm bracelet.

But Hella has a new wonderful project on her name, called ‘Natura Design Magistra’. If you like to see Hella`s newest design in real life, book yourself a ticket to Paris. Galerie Kreo from Paris is currently exhibiting Hella`s work.

This is probably my favourite of all of Hella`s designs;
her famous Office Pets. With her office pets Hella shows us that these days we expect much more of our products than just immediate utility and use. Contemporary design is now-a-days much more concerned with image, meanings and messages.

Paul & Joe & Perrier & packaging design

I can appreciate good packaging design. I love these cans by Paul & Joe.
And off course the S/S 2009 collection

Fond of Fonts

At the academy I got my first introduction to fonts. And since then I developed a weak spot for them. At the moment handwritten fonts are my favorite. Thanks to VT wonen (a Dutch interior magazine) I discovered Maartje Kuiper. Maartje is a graphic designer. For an Dutch interior exhibition they (VT Wonen) covered a wall in positive quotes, all with their own matching handwritten fonts, from Maartje. Take a look at her website for more great graphic design.
