Loving the intricate details of this gorgeous organic floral type by Neuarmy, a multidisciplinary creative designer. Read the rest of this entry to see the larger

Completely mesmerized with the design work of multi-talented artist, Andy Gilmore.

Some fresh illustrations from Sam Glynn, a 22 year old artist based in London, England. In his own words, describing his creative process:

I create my illustrations using anything I can get my hands on, whether its pens, pencils, spray paint, ink, print rollers or photography. I love dirty found textures, patterns and muted colours. I enjoy anything that makes interesting marks on the page. I utilise the computer to deconstruct my images with hand made elements and generally make a nice looking mess on the screen.

The Sex Pistols have announced a concert to mark the 30th anniversary of the release of their controversial album Never Mind the Bollocks. Original members John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock will play at the Brixton Academy in London on November 8th. The group, who split in 1978, first reformed for a world tour in 1996 and last performed together in 2003.

In recent times, every time I surf the net (or in 99,9% of these particular cases, StumbleUpon sites), I catch myself becoming more and more fascinated with furniture which is designed in a clean, simple and very functional manner. Remember, the Safe Bedside Table?

Obvisously I decide not to blog about each piece but here’s one I wouldn’t mind having on our walls.

It looks like this is a prototype not available for purchase and only designed as part of Irish designer Catherine Greene’s graduation from the Royal College of Art (RCA).

Using carbon Kevlar fabric as a flexible hinge to connect pieces of wood together I create a moving surface which you can roll up and roll back again depending on use and need – in this case it is a shelf which rolls back to allow higher objects to sit on a lower shelf.

Think about it, how many times have you had something you wanted to put on a shelf and you ended up placing it on the top shelf because it’s too tall and the result is something that looks more like a church organ than an eye catching feature in your home.

I think I came across the site of ‘The Office of Design and Architecture’ a few times already, but this time I had to blog about one of their designs. Corn is great, boiled, grilled, broiled whichever. It’s even greater in a salad, but how do get the kernels off the cob? Usually a messy attempt to use a knife seems to be the solution. That’s where OXO (Kitchen tools etc) came in and asked TODA to design a handheld device to fulfill above mentioned task (if anyone has used one of these, does it work well with grilled corn as well?).

The Oxo Good Grips Corn Stripper 1128000 is the result:

After spending a bit more time on their site, I saw that one of TODA’s offices is located in Hamburg, Germany (for those who don’t know, that’s where I used to live before I moved to Los Angeles). That put an extra smile on my face. Germans are known for clean and sleek design, right ? Moreover, the corn stripper appears to be very safe and easy to handle.
