Beautiful, organic, ceramic sculptures by the swedish artist Eva Hild.

As she says:
“My inspiration is the ever-changing landscape of my own life and environment! I try to relate my work to my life. What is happening and how does it feel? Pressure. Flow. Strain. Ramification. Inside turns outside.”

Back with bags! ( I can’t resist…)
Marielle van Herpen is a Dutch designer, and I particularly like her way to approach archetypal shapes and mix them with other shapes which are the result of daily practical needings…

Pleix is a virtual community of digital artists based in Paris. Some are 3D artists, some others are musicians or graphic designers… It has been really hard for me to pick just some image from the videos, because they’re all great and well done…
My favs? Birds, e-baby, beauty kit and clicks… but if you have a little time , enjoy ‘em all!! (Quicktime required)

A great thanx to my friend Giax for showing me this site…

Ethereal, dreamlike creations by Myriam B.

Quoting from her website:

“A fascinating and refined atmosphere surrounds like an aura M.B.’s creations, a stylist born in Milan, that works as through a sort of estrangement of objects and common natural materials, both ancient and modern, which combined together give birth to unusual and fresh combinations.
….
The surreal originality of M.B.’s works has been much appreciated by well known stylist (Gattinoni, Martin Sitbon, Maurizio Galante), who have included her jewellery in their fashion shows. Besides of producing under her trademark “Myriam B.”, Myriam Bottazzi has in recent years designed and produced for well known fashion firms like Maurizio Galante, Gattinoni, Martine Sitbon, Oliver by Valentino, Les Copains.”

… I love the lateral way of thinking of this Dutch designer… Monique Horstmann rules her world and creates answers to new needs, from dresses which are both dress for mom ad playing tent for children to bags designed to carry bottles…
