CMYK Pillows

SixDifferentWays — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:49:02 +0000

Any graphic designer will appreciate these CMYK pillows from Thomas Dabner. These pillows first reminded my of a Pantone swatch book, but in fact Dabner said he actually designed them from designers who share his frustration with low running ink – and knowing you have no new cartridges left.

Each CMYK pillow is printed on 100% 230gr/m² cotton and is washable at 80 degrees Celsius without fading. See more here.

Backlit Kitchen Cabinet Lighting by Jean Nouvel

John — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:10:53 +0000

Called "Corian Nouvel Lumieres", this kitchen design was created by Jean Nouvel for DuPont and Ernestmeda. The cornerstone of the design is the backlit cabinet lighting and the visual effect it has on the entire kitchen. The backlit cabinet lighting was created by using transparent Corian panels and then installing lighting in the back of the cabinets. I applaud this concept as it presents other possibilities than the more common practice of installing lighting underneath cabinets. Via.

The Most Amazing Cottage in the World

John — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:29:33 +0000

We have covered a lot of architecture projects and this one, called "Leaf House", may well be the most amazing cottage in the world. The cottage is located on an escarpment overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Sydney, Australia. It belongs as part of a larger private residence. The shape of the project has been fastened from the images of leaves making this very unique indeed. The roof is constructed of copper which has been woven into a pattern much like how a plant in nature would appear. The inside construction is anchored by supports that have been shaped to mirror that of plant stems; growing wild and in all directions. The end result is a panoramic view from the cottage that also contains a unique look from inside as well. Leaf House was designed by Undercurrent Architects.
