Spring Color

I found this Spring color palette and was really drawn to it. I've been posting a lot of darks and muted lately and thought a nice color pop was in order.

VLF

Check out the creative works of VLF found on Booooooom. Also, want to check out some art galleries this weekend?

Greg Otto

Here are some inspiring drawings by Greg Otto. I love the last one. It looks like thousands of birds. I would be incredibly scared in real life!

Palette

Found on Design Seeds

I'm in love with the first palette! The second one, not as much, but was mesmerized by the image. The third one I really like, but not as much as the first! Follow me?

Mixing Textures

After reading that WWD article, I have been thinking a lot about mixing textures, whether it be actual 3D elements or just the look of them. Here are some interesting pairings I found on createthatstyle.com

Le Cuir A Paris

Le Cuir A Paris textile earlier this month had some fantastic exhibitions showing off ideas that can enhance fabric, especially leather. Here are some of my faves.

I love the shapes within a shape of this briefcase. The shadows the triangles create add to the design!

How the leather of this chair was manipulated creates an amazing effect that almost looks like something you would find in a coral reef.

I love the contrast of the gold metallic paint on the cognac leather. Adds another dimension.

Question

Happy Friday! I thought I would end this week of Dieter Rams' Principles of Design with this ever-so powerful statement. Here's to a inspirational weekend and continuing to think outside the box!
