Inspired by children’s gestures, this rug transforms into an infinite freeway interchange (or is the other way around?). Comes with three wooden toy cars.

The Herbert Matter movie


Excellent film clip here

"Herbert Matter was a man who seemingly fit many lives into one by excelling in the creative disciplines of design, photography and film. The documentary The Visual Language of Herbert Matter profiles his extraordinary life and seminal work.

With the help of historical footage, vintage photographs, never-before-seen film excerpts (some shot by Matter himself) and a broad overview of his extensive body of work. the feature length documentary helps in bringing the picture of an almost forgotten creative genius back into focus.

Interwoven with interviews from a who’s who list of legendary artists, designer and photographers, the film sheds light on a remarkable career and its impact on the evolving language of design during the short 20th century both in the USA and Europe.

Design Concept Realisation



Take six brands: Braun, Citroën, Herman Miller, Olivetti, Sony Swiss Air and study all their brand communication. A Gem from 1975 with some great work in it. Here are a few Braun elements. I find it hard to draw a parallel with the Braun identity of today, but something tells me that if the work was as minimal as it was in 1975, it would seem like a much more luxury brand.

Star Wars in Paris



"Not such a long time ago, in a galaxy south-east of Paris, there was a battle between myth and reality. The Empire really had struck back - at least, in the vision of French photographer Cedric Delsaux.
An award-winner in the newcomers' Bourse du Talent competition, he is keen to preserve the illusion behind his Star Wars-inspired images. R2-D2, Darth and his storm troopers may just have been model toys, superimposed on to shots of Parisian architecture, but that illusion works. Urban wasteland becomes intergalactic battleground. Elaine Hake"

Fragile Buildings



"Some street artists in the city of Izhevsk in Russia paint “Handle With Care” signs on the walls of multi-stored apartment houses.

You can meet “Handle With Care” “Don’t Turn Over” or “Don’t Get It Wet” signs on the house walls up to 100 feet (35 m) high."
