Issey Miyaki STICKS out

I see pick-up sticks when i see this. Indeed it was inspired by it. Emmanuelle Maureaux has created an installation from interlocking coloured sticks at three Issey Miyaki stores in Tokyo. The appear to be just like the beginning of the game where the sticks are about to drop from the hand of the player. Dont be deceived by the 'out-of-balance' look. It is infact as sturdy as an old oak tree.

Yes Yes Yes!

Temporary restaurants were mushrooming around London during the LDW. One of it the Hel Yes! serving Finnish food and design. You will see seats with fabric canopies by designer Alvar Aalto and also tables made by Linda Bergroth from saplings thinned out from a forest near Helsinki, secured at the top to form arching branches over each table, not very environmental friendly..... Guests will feast with glassware by Harri Koskinen and staff uniforms by Heikki Salonen. Not to miss is the video work by Maria Duncker.

Almost a pop-up

Stick and bricks are know for reviving old furniture and turn them into some marvelous pieces that you cannot resist to lay your hands on. this month they held arts night out over at their place with work from Mia Cabana and her husband Oliver Scott Snure showcasing their work they created out of some old books. Photographs, taken by Oliver can be purchase at the event.

Thanks Design Sponge!
