Conceptual Situations

Fabian Bürgy is a swiss based Sculptor and Independent Digital Creative. His diverse and playful artistic practice, which includes sculpture, installation and digital imaging, explores the aesthetic of things through random encounters of materials, misplaced situations and spatial relationships. Bürgy creates conceptual situations and small interventions which are inspired by a wide range of mundane objects and appearances, from chairs and suicide belts to skid row textures, nails and even dog tails, all subjected to what could be described as Bürgy’s characteristically slightly violent and disturbing process of transformation, misplacement and dysfunction of things.Via Arcademi.

SuperDuper

Love these fun super duper collages showing the hat-collections for the Italian hat brand SuperDuper. The discovery of a unique wooden hat blocker started a fun-loving passion for the team behind SuperDuper. Since the very beginning the beauty of this object, so carefully carved, went together with the love for the hat, an irreplaceable icon of style. A hat becomes a SuperDuper only if they are truly satisfied with the final result and if they are the first ones willing to wear it! Via Trendland.

Chinese bastard Chairs

In the series Bastard Chairs beautifully shoot by German photographer Michael Wolfe we get challenged in of our standard definition of a chair. Great inspiration for furniture designers! Most of Wolfes work is life in mega cities and many of his projects document the architecture and the  vernacular culture of metropolises. Earlier entries here. Via Lustik.

Assamblage and Wood

I'm a big fan of wood (that's not really news) and I like assamblage, so I'm obviously a big fan of these wood assamblages made by graphic designer and artist Damion Silver. Via Lustik.

Tiles for Tile-Lovers

I love to take photos of tiles, especially old tiles and I have a hole lot of tile-photos from my many vacations in Spain, Greece, Italy and Portugal – but these beautiful porcelain tiles designed by Patricia Urquiola from the series Mutina Azulej for Academy Tiles are more than just a photo-opportunity! These I could actually take home – only it's too difficult to choose! Via Madame Hervé.

Redefined objects

Canberra based artist Jacqueline Bradley makes playful and dreamy sculptural objects. Her work explores ways of engaging with the surrounding environment, ideas of home and a sense of place. She mainly works with household objects and creates small, in themselves coherent objects that seem to have sprung from another world. Via Ignant.

Fabulous Frames

Playful geometric shelves from the series A-Frames designed and hand made by Brooklyn based design studio CHIAOZZA. The Shelves are inspired by a Danish folk design called "Amagerhylde" – A-shaped shelves from Amager (island next to Copenhagen) and are ideal for displaying collections of small objects and curios, yet are beautiful on their own as art objects themselves. If only I had more walls! Via Bloesem Kids.
