LED Morning Glory

In her graduate thesis project at The Netherland’s Design Academy of Eindhoven, Wendy Legro asks “can design help us reconnect with our biorhythms?” In the modern world, we’ve lost the pleasure of watching things grow and change—and inside our homes, artificial light is always competing with natural light. Legro’s ‘Morning Flower’ design aims...

BreakFast

Then you can tentatively serve with cold milk. The idea is to target a new audience that otherwise would not eat oatmeal, but also to those who are usually in a hurry in the morning and tend to skip...

Slowpoke Café

French graphic designer & visual artist Anne-Sophie Poirier, who’s working under the name Sasufi, has designed the fitout for the Slowpoke Espresso Café in Melbourne, Australia.

The hand-drawn type was inspired by the wiry Christmas lights arranged throughout the dining area. I chose to design a menu that could be carried home without hassle. I placed all menu items on a baguette carry-out bag so that customers...

White Fences Vineyard

The “Meteor Midnight Red,” and “Meteor Bright White” bottles (above) designed by Work Labs for White Fences Vineyard are so beautifully done. They strike a certain simplicity and elegance that they unfortunately failed to carry into the “Meteor Bright Red” and “Meteor Firefly” bottles (below). A good example of how delicate just the right balance...

Tasseology

Beautifully delicate & wonderfully thought out. The design of this book draws upon elements from the Victorian age from which the practice originates, including decorative patterns, borders, and serif typefaces. The dark greens, and warm yellows and browns within the book were drawn from that of tea. A cosy felt dust jacket hugs the book, mimicking the shape of a teacup, and a tea bag...
