wake up alarm For who donot drink water

24/08/2007 DesignFlute 3 Comments

This wake up alarm makes you drink water! The earlier you want to wake up more you have to drink.

This ‘wake up alarm’ is a calibrated carafe that measures the amount of water to drink before going to bed.

This is James McAdam‘s quirky way to make all of us healthy!

Intruders beware!

This cherry and steel table is for paranoid security seekers.

A ‘safe bedside table’ for the people who admit and for the people who donot admit that they need some kind of self defence while sleeping.

Here is a club as table leg and top as a shield!

James McAdam is a designer based in UK, (London).

I can see! ?

All knowing! ?

Statements on life, today, tomorrow and yesterday :that’s what I think of this artist-photographer’s work from Saudi Arabia– Manal Al-Dowayan.

(I like her work so much that I think I would do one more post on her.)

the garden of my childhood

The numerous nuances of pink distinguish this garden from any other.

The apple tree, roses, petunias fragrant peas, pink and grey colors fight for space and crave to be picked up.

The theme is ‘The garden of my childhood ‘and Russian landscape designer Sergey Malyuchenko portrays it so beautifully.

Garden in the childhood is bright and as man grows old his garden loses colors.

Behind the fresh pink’s soft cries of pick me up there is a hidden meaning of grey as neglected garden but pink is the transitional colors on the way to renovation.

There are certain movements and thoughts which have a timeless quality about these pieces of art. There is one common thread which appears like a recurring motif, and that is ‘bends in a road, paths crossed, corners turned ‘(Sandra Tarantino) which traps life beautifully.
Hemi Bawa was born in India in 1948. Sandra Tarantino was born in Canada in 1973. Hemi creates kiln-fired cast glass sculptures and sculptures of glass with metal, wood, or acrylic. While in Sandra Tarantino‘s works the physical base of shaped forms are constructed out of wood, which are then covered with pre-gessoed and painted canvas.

Both are continents apart, generations apart, mediums apart but still make a beautiful connection.

I was about to do a post on Hemi Bawa then I saw Sandra Tarantino’s work in an eye for an interior‘s beautiful post ‘expression of art’. I instantly saw a cosmic relation.

Boundaries merge when thought process starts travelling!
