childhood

unfinished.. confused..

where does time go? why does it fly?!
God , i still have pieces of furniture sitting in my studio waiting for paint , glass tops, ideas.. ! they have been sitting here for few weeks now..
I admit, I slacked alot .
you know whats the mistake that a furniture designer might make and not have planned for at the beginning of their project? S T O R A G E!!!

Oh I Wish..

i made this collage based on the art of my favorite artist Jonathan Talbot ..
I used a bad and old arabian book pages and poped some of them up on the page.. then i added high gloss colored pieces cutting through them.. then added some metalic craft pearls ..
this is a creation for my hope to break ( the red high gloss pieces like knifes) all the bad old rules and traditions ( the old book) that strangle us and limit our creativity ( the metalic pearls.since creativity is reflective).

hope it makes sense :)

this designer blows my mind

Hoch die Tassen

Made from second hand cups, each glass/cup will be different.
this designer Thorsten Van ELten has great ideas to create modern unique products out of the ordinary! I am sooo addicted.. Tea/Wine anyone?
