Exclusive Designs for The Conran Shop

Here's a sneak preview of the the range of neon perspex Christmas decorations we've been working on through out the summer exclusively for The Conran Shop.

We created a range of edge lit acrylic designs consisting of Snowflakes, Reindeer, Angels, Bells, Holly and Christmas Trees. The highlight of the range is this flat-pack 50cm tall five-tier Christmas tree that is slotted together by the customer. A bold, vibrant and original centrepiece to the Christmas dining table.

Shown here is also one of our oversized snowflakes that The Conran Shop have given pride of place in their amazing Christmas window displays. Plenty more images coming soon on our website.

Epic promo film.


Robot Repair is a bi-coastal (NYC/LA) music company that composes music and sound design for advertising, TV, film and art projects. In this epic promotional video they demonstrate how they use over 180 different musical instruments. Love the simple concept, bold colours and the addition of all those kitsch objects. Really great stuff.

This is really strange...Russell Watkins - Photo

















April 7: A girl walks past a tree covered in spider webs in the flood affected areas of K.N. Shah, located near Dadu in Pakistan's Sindh province. The cocooned trees are a side-effect of spiders escaping flood waters in the area. Although people in this part of Sindh have never witnessed this phenomenon, they report there are now less mosquitoes, thus reducing the risk of malaria. Photo: Russell Watkins/Reuters

Trevor Gordon - InnerViews from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.

Really love Trevor Gordons super mellow style, its a joy to watch and I totally agree with his statement that in some cases less is more. Good also to see he is just as creative out of the water as he is in it.

Paper Cutouts - Inspired
























Here are some paper cutouts by Australian designer, Bianca Chang. The 3-dimensional letterforms are created with multiple sheets of 80gsm paper. I would like to do something like this one day but what I have in mind is a little different, of course. A great piece of inspiration and an incentive to get the craft knife and cutting mat out and do that project that has been at the back of my mind for almost two years now.

Uniform




























Just visited Uniforms website. Uniform is a brand communication agency with a fantastic 'Our philosophy' film on their homepage. Great stuff.
