Sexy Disney Princesses by Comic Illustrator Scott Campbell

And here are my favorites:



Well, she's not a Disney princess, but I like the angle, and the way she was interpreted.



And the Beast behind Belle removing/putting on her cape--amazing!



Oozing with sexiness. Best Sleeping Beauty rendition ever. Too bad I'm a girl though, hehe.

I always liked the fusion of practicality, usability, and a healthy dose of design.

And isn't this the cutest thing ever?

Danish by Design are pleased to introduce a new range of 3 dimensional Play Rugs for children of all ages. In an age when so much technology is crying out for your child’s attention, including video games, TV, DVD’s, MP3 players and chat sites, it’s refreshing to know that their next favourite play mate doesn’t even require batteries. Just pull out your child’s toy farm animals, cars and dolls and enjoy watching them rediscover their creativity and imagination on their new IVI Play Rug.

I wished I had this when I was a kid. Here are more designs to choose from:

Floater cutleries anyone?

Floater series by Seongyong Lee.

MAKI STOOL!!

noji-berlin released a new set of seating and lightning designs, and one of them is the Maki Stool.

The idea for the MAKI collection came to us while eating sushi. The stools are abstract versions of maki rolls inspired by the original. One wants to sit down on the funny little chairs made of wood and felt and enjoy the sensation of being like a child. nojiberlin loves the carefree nature of youth.

I'd love to have one of these in my room~

Design comments

So here are some designs and my take on each of them.



Chris Duffy's chair that seems to defy gravity. At first take, you'll notice that this chair doesn't have any back legs, and yet it's still standing. But if you do a double take and notice that the shadow itself is part of the chair (Woopsie. Did I just spoil you?) It's a really fun furniture to...scare your friends, maybe. Source.



Shrub Tables by Zhili Liu. I think that this set is fine and all, but what really took me was this picture:



I know it doesn't have anything to do with design, but isn't it that in making a prototype, proper protection is a must? Then again, this also tells something about the welder's resourcefulness...Source



Oaza Zdravlja Pharmacy by Karim Rashid. First words that came into my brain was "BUBBLEGUM DRUGS!!!"

Yes, that's a pharmacy. I'm unsure about this design, firstly because it's inappropriate for the function of the establishment (drugstore). The kids would prolly take it as a candy store instead of a drugstore. Source.

And last but not the least...





Cellulose Meeting Pods by Paul Coudamy. I give it an A for functionality, but a C on design. Well, it looks like a makeshift house for the homeless. Give it a little color, at least, so the meeting experience will be a bit...memorable.

Oh, and I think this will be perfect for a small study group. Source

Wallpapers are not so boring anymore

Remember when I put up a post about some wall treatments that one can do in their home some days ago? Well, here's another interesting take on wall treatments. It's decorative and functional as well. It's a wallpaper design by Kicki Edgren Nyborg (hm, last name rhymes with Cyborg. Interesting).

Wonder wall

A wall is important because it keeps away rain, and sun from entering the house. And provides foundation for the windows and doors (and roof, but then again, there are pillars for that).

It's also a good canvass for some decorating ideas. Here are some:

Photo Collage : Perpetual Wall Calendar

The perpetual wall calendar is a beautiful collage of photos that Littlebrownpen has collected while in Paris. Chalkboards, license plates, doorways, bottles, monuments. 49 glimpses of Paris that capture the the essence of the city at street level. All you have to do is to arrange the photos according to the current month and clip them together using the clear photo clips provided. After that you just have to hang it. The assembled collage is roughly 3ft x 3ft. The idea is very interesting and if you have some time and you love to take pictures you can even make your own version, or buy this one from here.

As the quote said, it's a nice idea on a wall, yet functional. You can indeed make your own version, using local scenes. Or have a photograph of your friends holding up a piece of the square, and then take a picture of it.

Framed Objects by The.

No, the sentence has not been cut short. The is a group of eclectic wares designers.

A simple frame can take an everyday object and turns it into a quirky and interesting art piece. Framing a key chain or coat hook is another way to make a functional home accessory stylish and contemporary. With this simple idea you can Turn flowers, books, keys, jewelry, articles of clothing, and other ordinary objects into works of art. This product called “Framed Objects” is available from Thinkofthe.

I think this is an easy DIY project to do at home.

Something exterior and something interior.

Exterior: ‘Anamorphism’ : A Stunning Street Project by Ninja182

Graphic design studio Truly Design introduces us to the street art of Ninja182 and his latest project called ‘Anamorphism’ made with contemporary art techniques to create a mind-blowing artwork, which can only be seen in its completeness from a specific angle in the room.

This reminds me of camouflage art you now find on the streets. A house or a building with this kind of paint job will sure rock.

Interior: Stylish Apartment For Sale in Linnéstaden, Sweden

Linnéstaden is a typical inner city district where you will find Gothenburg’s first suburb – Haga – and the big central park – Slottsskogen. We do not know if the location of this apartment had anything to do with its high-quality design, but we are really delighted to see how fresh everything in these pictures is. There is a wooden hall connecting the whole apartment. A nicely renovated kitchen in white with a green attitude, newly sober, renovated bathrooms, modern decorating details and bright tones turn this place into a real contemporary masterpiece.

I notice that more and more cool interior designs are coming from Sweden. This design is cozy, contemporary, and efficient. A combination of old styles, new styles, modern fixtures/furnitures, and fresh new design ideas (anyone saw that letter 'A' on the windowsill?)

Excuse me when I scream in design-gasm

THIS IS JUST PERFECT!! Can't even describe it in words why this house exterior is perfect for me.  For interiors of this house, go here.

And the wall design looks like an installation on the wall, with art behind, and a glass infront with art on it too. Very cool effect. Link.

"These are a few of my favorite things..."

I'm always attracted to designs that save space, ecofriendly, recycled, and sustainable.

So it's not surprising that I find these chairs cool and attractive.

The Drops Chair by Camilla Hounsell Halvorsen

Camilla Hounsell is a design student at Norway's Oslo National Academy of the Arts. This chair consists of stainless steel legs and an inner tube covered with recycled upholstery material.



All of a sudden, this reminds me of a chair made out of katsya (Or the basahan the kids in the streets sell. Hmmm...a carpet design like that is not a bad idea)

Mold Chairs by Anders Johnsson and Petter Thorne

A couple of designers from Stockholm did these creative chairs recycled from wood veneer.




I like the second one. It has this "capiz" effect going on.

I also like designs that are cool and has this all-in-one theme in furniture.

Stone Designs' The RS Life Collection is full of simple designs, basic materials, with colorful touches.

I like these cabinets:

Okay, so that cabinet doesn't have that all-in-one feature. But this does:

And wood. I like wood, or wood effects.
