An image of  thee Lotus Temple, Dehli.
I chose to look at this image as I thought the way it has been assembled and constructed was interesting and some of the elements would be good to use during the trend process. structured shoulders maybe. The building design is inspired by the flower.

I just loved the structure and colours of this armchair inspired by small plant
flowers.

A Sumptuous Summer Houses a Natural Look With a Touch of Natural Beauty Brazil

October 19, 2010 - Categories: House Design

A luxurious summer house was designed by Mareines and Patalano Arquitetura located near Rio de Janeiro in the lovely small beach with an amazing blue water. With the speed boat we could surround the beach, architectural design is inspired by Brazilian Indians perfectely suitable for hot and humid climate. Flowers reminiscent of the roof acting as a big leaf that protects from the sun.

I like the way this new modern build in Brazil is designed and the way it is described. "The big leaves protect from the sun" which is one of the ways big leaves function in nature itself. The design and function fit in with the initial inspiration.

Sheep in London launch the Campaign for Wool

Tom Hingston Studio was recently commissioned to create a more vibrant version of the traditional Woolmark and also design a logo for a new campaign to promote wool, which launched this week at several events in London designed to focus passers by attention on wool - such as this flock of yellow sheep spotted outside Selfridges...



The Campaign for Wool is a new initiative by Woolmark that aims to increase consumer demand for wool and wool products which has, we're told, been declining in recent years. "The whole thing is about the promotion of wool as a sustainable, viable fibre," explains Tom Hingston about the project. "And it's not just aimed at fashion, it's about interiors, product design, built environment. Wool impacts all of those things as a fibre, as a material."

Hingston's studio, in collaboration with creative consultancy Keep, has created a new colourful version of the Woolmark (above), specifically for use in communication relating to the campaign. "The original Woolmark was designed in the 60s," says Hingston. "But there's a perception that it is tied to an older era – you'd only ever see it in black and white. It's such a beautiful and iconic mark and we've grown up with it, so we looked at expressing it in different ways. Woolmark wanted us to infuse the original with a new vibrancy - which is why we introduced colour, layering and transparency."
