Design Friday: Chuck

DesignFriday3

Step right up for the coolest shelf you have ever seen. What, you say, this appears to just be a normal shelf?

BAM. Think again.

Chuck

Meet Chuck, the shelf you never knew you needed until now. The combination of flexibility and gravity means you have almost unlimited options for displaying your belongings with stability and ease. Plus, it’s made from stainless steel and wood, which are the two best materials for furniture if you ask me.

What would you use this shelf for? I’m thinking put it outside and hope your potted plants stay up there. That could be visually very interesting.

People are so creative, I am amazed.

Design Friday: The Palace Theater

DesignFriday3

I was pleasantly surprised to come across this rebrand of a small local theater in Wisconsin. Black is such a sophisticated, glamorous color. I said just the other day that I wish it were used more often in design.

And when you think about it, black is the perfect color for a movie theater because of film history. Noir is even a genre of film, I mean come on people! Made for each other.

Have a look.

Really great work here by Cody Petts! I love his desire to preserve the history of a small town.

Ever wonder how a blockbuster film’s logo gets made? The folks at Like Minded Studio revealed their concept designs for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and it is pretty fantastic.

Take a look!

Design Friday: Trig

DesignFriday3

If you are like me, the word “Trigonometry” might conjure horrible memories of high school math that send you running in terror. Luckily for us, Sydney’s Olivia King interpreted the word a bit differently.

Olivia combined an appreciation for triangles, bright colors, Australia’s finest natural materials and a passion for jewelry making into her new project, Trig.

Using the Trig app, customers can choose between multiple variations of color, shape and material. The finished pieces are then packaged in brightly colored boxes and sent on their merry way.

Now this is one Trig I can support! I love all those bright colors.
