Walk around the block

Designers: @ Gregor Jenkin Studio

Johannesberg based Gregor Jenkin Studio try to design things free from preconception!

Warning: Copycats have nothing to do with cats or duplicity, copying someone!

It is about similarity, like twins, like Siamese twins, matching objects, about object and furniture that complement each other.

Things that inspire each other. And how designers sitting continents apart work on similar ideas with amazing results.

It is a long series like a column.

nothing and now here

Graphic designer Ravi Hampole

This is creation of New York based graphic designer Ravi Hampolea book – Nothing and Now here.

Go through the pages of the book to override fine line between real world and illusion, erase the line between interior and exterior spaces and feel lost between spaces.

Interior imagery is cut and juxtaposed with exterior imagery. Book is developed from an excerpt in the Tao of Pooh.

Beautiful and meditative! nah?

Eva Zeisel-playful works

It seems that all these pieces are about to speak to me. I sat there mesmerized after downloading a lot of images of her work. Designer, ceramist grande old dame Eva Zeisel’s work needs no introduction or great words. They just speak for themselves.evazeisel1.gif

100 year old Eva Zeisel’s more than 75 years of extraordinary work is so alive that it just pushes us to sit up and think about our own life.

Her views on life “Everything is unexpectedly colorful. Life is a present. That is why one shouldn’t have scandals, one shouldn’t have ill humor, one shouldn’t be cranky–that is the moment that is life. One should respect it.

“All my work is mother-and-child.”- Eva Zeisel.

Her functional objects bend, stretch, reach. They recall birds, leaves, pregnant bodies, belly buttons and fruit with a pared-down elegance.

Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands, whether it is made in wood,  plaster or clay.”Eva Zeisel

Just a little curve that is perfect and never a wrong curve, that is what her designs is all about.

She is called an industrial (machine age modern) designer and her creations show ‘friendliness’, ‘family relations’.

I keep wondering about her spirits and  I keep saluting this unstoppable lady’s works!
