HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my co-blogger Audra, its her birthday in
Basel right now! Party popper chandelier by Stuart Haygarth.
This summer I am getting to spend three weeks in Basel, Switzerland at the Basel School of Design. While I am here, I am participating in a poster design and typography workshop taught by the schools full time faculty. The design over here is so clean and fresh,
even the trash bags are beautifully designed. Yesterday we joined the locals in their tradition of floating down the Rhine River, it was a bit chilly but definitely worth it. I think a girl could get used to this.
Alejandra Laviada makes one man’s trash look like treasures through her amazing photo sculptures. Her first solo exhibition
is currently at PhotoEspaña in Madrid.
World’s first upside down house, created for a local zoo in Gettorf, Germany. Even crazier…the inside is too!
The house was inspired by the home described in Roald Dahl’s children’s book The Twits. Open to the public.
CT is a graffiti artist in Turin, Italy. Most of his works contain bold geometric + typographical elements. I think they
are pretty cool. He has many many more that you can check out here.
Ok so the ring might be a little much for everyday wear, but I have been in a bit of a quartz phase and I think this
necklace would be the perfect fix. The ring is part of Debra Baxter’s current work and the necklace is by Moth House.
I really enjoy the graphic design work of studio Postmammal, which is the pseudonym for the work
of Robert Murdock. It’s simple, fresh, and sleek and I find it really inspiring.
