OOOH! I LOVE THIS! This is especially interesting to me because of how Hassenfeld uses simple sheets of paper (even though it doesn’t look like paper) to not only create 3D forms, but integrate light in a way that transforms the space into one of delight and awe. Like being in CandyLand! Now that’s user experience.

Inspiration from Italy: Part I

/

/

My cousin recently got married in Italy (thanks, Alex!) so of course we had to go! Italy is my absolute favorite country outside the US. Literally everywhere you look you see beauty—old and new, but mostly old. It’s mind blowing when you see patterns, shapes, colors and styles that were created so long ago, yet are still in use today.

So this post is dedicated to a current new trend—STRIPES! …And when I say new, I mean back in style for the umpteenth time since the 1300’s when these puppies were built. So freaking cool, right? Or should I say, Bellissimo!

Stay tuned for more posts sharing some more cool images of design, products and architecture from Italia! Ciao!
