Arne Quinze

Today I had to point out the wonderful works of the Belgian artist Arne Quinze.
"Quinze’s genius lies in his ability to fuse polar extremes – passion and chaos with controlled elegance. He masterfully creates immaculate, urbane and polished designs that are balanced with a certain contradicting tension, giving them a refined yet exuberant appearance. He realizes his ideas with extraordinary verve and is able to apply them to projects of any scale, whether it be architecture, interior design, urban planning, furniture design, car design or footwear."

The images above shows a part of Dreamsaver, just a small sample of is immense and admirable work.

20 year warranty calendar


This 20 year warranty calendar sticks out of the wall more than 60 centimeters. It was created by Saatchi & Saatchi Frankfurt, for Schott Solar in order to present the brand that produces solar panels with 20 years warranty.
A message which can hardly be ignored.

How flat is that?



"Flat Bulb designed by Korean designer Joonhuyn Kim, has a volume that is 1/3 smaller than ordinary bulbs. The flat shape takes care of the problem of rolling away, faced by ordinary bulbs (consequently preventing breakage). But what really makes this bulb special is that it reduces the cost of packing and transport and its unique shape allows it an easy storage. Wow!"
