Media_httpwwwselettii_hiaec

Although only in the middle stages of October, ’tis the season to get in the Christmas spirit. Surely a designer’s dream, this ten-different color set of Pantone Christmas Ornaments is both clever and stylish. Designed by Selab, these two-toned glass spheres measures 8cm or 3.14″ in diameter, and are a perfect gift for that artistic someone in your life.

Vertical Garden Design

Media_httpwwwvertical_foine
Growing plants on a vertical surface has been possible after studies of natural vertical locations — places without soil where in nature there may be a great abundance of plant species. The technique imitates these locations, so it also function without soil, having the benefits of making the surface very light and easy to tailor to any geometry.

Nice! Would like to see more of this.

KLOTZ is a small label for illustrated t-shirts, but they have generated a small cosmos around their work over the last years. with their new website, they are collecting all these things (video-podcasts, found images, presstexts etc.) in a giant database, which can either displayed as a superfunctional table or a relational visualisation.

Funny illustrations for Lowlands by Stefan Glerum!

Growing up as a healthy young Dutch boy, Stefan Glerum (Amsterdam, 1983) developed an interest in old paper, second hand records and extremely large trousers. 
To give shape to these fascinations Glerum started to work as an assistent to Dutch master of the clear line Joost Swarte. Glerum studied illustration at the Academy St. Joost and now works as a freelance illustrator and designer, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Burn Ignite feat. Steve Berra

Steve Berra (The Berrics) joins Mexican skaters Jesus Gonzalez, Eder Martinez, Mario Saenz, Angel Santiago and American Luis Tolentino for this Burn Ignite film, shot on location in Mexico City. 

This film was created alongside two short-form documentaries, one featuring Jess Kimura and the all girl hardcore snowboarding film collective Peep Show, the other is a portrait that celebrates the electric lyrics and gritty beat artistry of rapper/poet Julius Wright, aka Lyrical God.

Now that are some hot special effects!

new European flag

Media_httpimageguardi_qzdyx
 
The current European flag, with the twelve golden stars against a blue background, was designed in 1955. Since then society in Europe has changed dramatically. Nowadays various cultures live and work together in a relative small area. What is the impact of this new, dynamic society with its diversity in culture, language and traditions on Europe’s identity? How do Europeans experience Europe? And how can that identity take shape?
