Mashallah Design

Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.

Dupludo Collective - Industrial Design

Being a great artist is hard. Being a great designer might be even harder. Why? You have to create beautiful objects that are usable by common folk, durable and possibly cheap. Yet still no one seems to care who thought about that one particular solution to the problem that they buy in a store.

But we want to change it. Yes, even in small scale. And today we write about a Russian design collective, Dupludo. The name itself comes from pronunciation of deux plus deux and their motto is "2+2=5". They work on illustration, graphic design, installations and several other things art-related in Russia and Scandinavia.

Cooper Gray design

Upon observing what has been going on here for the last couple of weeks, we noticed an alarming lack of product design. And our job here is to provide you with awesome art that you can appreciate and even buy (dead artists are featured weekly) - that's why we wanted to display the works of Ceri Hoover, a self-proclaimed "design-obsessed creator". This is not some etsy freak with glue gun, but an aesthetically sensitive designer with professional tools. Rate for yourselves!

Grace Duval - the armor of Joanne d'Arc

Made of cardboard, brown paper, bicycle tubes, glue, spray paint, and various metal fastenings.
Makes me want to laugh at guys spending fortunes on "real" medieval armor.
