Skull Wallpaper

Skull Wallpaper – Bronze Flock on Oil Slick. The signature paper featuring skulls in a reflective bronze, deep pile velvet on a incredible light-catching, iridescent base, using horribly expensive ink which changes colour as you walk past it – through reds, greens, blacks and golds – like an oil slick. Printed on non-woven paper.

On TV

‘On TV’ is a mirror designed to make you feel like you're on the television every time you look into it.
John Caswell Design

The Wailers

‘The Wailers’ are a set of ceramic speakers that look as if they’re singing to you when you play your music through them.

They are winners of the RSA Design Directions, Ceramic Futures Award.

Zippy



‘Zippy’ is a simple everyday chair made from half a sheet of plywood. It is held together using nothing but 20 releasable zip ties. No glue is used to hold the chair together making it quick and easy to assemble and even quicker to take apart.

Hang On

‘Hang On’ is an ordinary looking wardrobe apart from one thing. All the hangers that you will need for the inside can be popped out of the wardrobe itself. A functional decoration that asks the user to interact with the object once purchased.

Slim Jim

‘Slim Jim’ is a flat packed polypropylene light depicting the adventures of a little man called Jim.

Highly Commended during the Student Lighting Design Awards.

Taps



These four designs came from looking into what else could be done with existing objects. They are designed to play with people’s preconceptions and make you see existing objects in a new way.

Knitted Lego Minifig

Some Assembly Required is a pattern that will enable you to make an adorable toy that can be taken apart and put together again. The head, torso, and legs are independent pieces, so you could make multiple pieces in different colors and they would be interchangeable.

I've included a tutorial on boxes and edges so you can make nice crisp corners. The tutorial isn't necessary to make the toy, but it may be helpful.

Titanic from Fluke

Charles Trevelyan, England
The Titanic Lamp elegantly upsets one's expectations. A diagonal slice through the length of the lamp creates the appearance of floating semi-submerged in water. Combined with a high-gloss white lacquer finish and matching shade, the lamp is dressed in the stark attitude of a museum piece, frozen in time. US rated plug.

The Contour Table and Chair by Bodo Sperlein

The Contour table and chair are part of a capsule furniture collection which continues his signature style of sensual and curvaceous forms – this time however working on a larger scale. The final shapes strongly reflect the design process, based around folding flexible and malleable materials such as paper, to create a series of dynamic curves and forms.

The chair exudes a simple elegance, and has been designed to look like a single sculpted sheet. A ribbon-like profile draws the eye effortlessly around a series of loops terminating in slender legs that conceal their true strength. The lines of a traditional table have been elongated, and embellished with curves. Concaved sections play on negative space, and give the table a ‘lightness’ that contrasts with the weight and solidity of the hardwood from which it is made.
