One of the up and coming designers currently doing the rounds is a guy called Benjamin Hubert. He graduated Loughborough University in 2006 and has steadily been picking up awards and much acclaim since then.
He designed the wonderful light, shown above, called Dandilight whose inspiration comes from those little Dandilion seedheads that litter the final weeks of springs, and looks incredible. It is also worth noting that the lamp looks equally as good when it is switched off, being a cast white resin.
The light is available in two formats, floor standing and hanging, in two sizes (300mm and 450mm dia.) and is available to commission, no details of price other than that.
This piece really does go to show that inspiration is all around us, be it industrial, static, or as in this case, organic and is there for the taking. We must all suck up the inspiration, be it first hand as in Benjamin’s case or second hand, in the case of anyone who sees the lamp Benjamin has created.
Everybody loves these lamps and wants to have a few installed in the new office when we get in there, maybe even have a few on slightly flexible stands near a fan so they sway in the breeze… Mmmmm. Thanks Benjamin, we love this, we just hope if doesn’t give us huge hayfever!

OK, I’m not into wine that much, but I have to say this is something I would put on the dinner table full of a nice red. It is a sculpture and a Carafe all in one, which brings a wonderful centrepiece to your table. They are made by a French artist/sculptor called Etienne Meneau, who sells these wonderful pieces via the internet, you can click the image above to go to the web blog where they are based to see many many more of them.
The idea that someone has questioned why the traditional Carafe is the way it is, is inspiring to us. It might not be the most usable, might not be the most aesthetically pleasing to everyone, but it is a great example of what can be achieve if you ask the simple one work question… “why?”
The rest of the works on the website remind us of the work of Thomas Heatherwick (see this post SIT OOT for more of his work). Great company to be in.
Everybody says good work Etienne.

The most important activity of FarmEduca is the certification and education of artsenbezoekers. Artsenbezoekers are a valuable part of the chain between the innovative pharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals. For their new corporate identity Everybody designed a logo with a bigger brand feeling to it, thus helping to position FarmEduca as a trustworthy certifier.

Once in a while a photographer comes along with a portfolio which inspires us. This is one of those cases, Julia Galdo is an American photographer, born in Florida and working for a broad range of clients, her work is beautiful. Stunning portraits and lighting to melt you, used by fashion magazines and other fashionable clients. Have a look at her website to get a glimpse of a true artist. Very inspiring work which evokes thoughts of the American Artist/photographer Gregory Crewdson through the detail and story told in each image.
Everybody says well done Julia.

One of the new additions to the Rotterdam Skyline (amongst the many new buildings) are the solemn figures popping up around the Kunsthal. They are works by the British artist Anthony Gormley, who has for years been using these figures in thought provoking places around the globe.
At least one of the sculptures has produced more than a couple of phone calls to the authorities due to it’s position on top of the Erasmus Hospital. From it’s lofty position looking east over the Kunsthal towards Kralingen, it’s silhouette has caused many people to believe it to be a jumper readying themselves to take the plunge from the edge. (Insert your own comment here regarding art’s effect on the public and their lack of understanding thereof)
Anyway, the wonderful, and somewhat haunting, figures are currently on show right now, until the 14th of September. I would really recommend you get down to the Kunsthal to see them in person.
