Bowdoin College is currently hosting alumni, Harold M. Goralnick’s, Pop-up Book Collection and it will be on display through spring and into summer. The collection is extensive and his knowledge of the pop-up book is extraordinary. Take a look at some of the creative ways publishers have engineered paper to come to life as readers turn the page.
Davison Creators interviewed Johnny Strategy, the New York/ Japan design blogger back in 2009. Since hearing news that his second home was hit by an earthquake and tsunami, Johnny has discovered many ways that the design world is pitching in.
Limited run prints and posters, such as the ones shown here, are a way to encourage others to make a donation. I thought this post was worth passing on to our readers and maybe some Davison Creators can find a way to help. Hit this link to see more from Spoon & Tamago.
I recently discovered more about designer, Frank Lloyd Wright — far more than I had known before. His life story is just as fascinating as his most famous work. He is most famously known for his architectural masterpiece, Falling Water, but his career began much earlier than that and ended much later.
Not only did he design residences, churches and museums, but he also designed the built-in furniture and fixtures that completed the dwellings. He created the Usonian-style home and designed Taliesin West, a live-in school of architecture.
Wright’s career had many ups and downs and transformed many times over, but eventually he made his place in history. He truly was a creative man and you can still visit and tour many of his works today.
Mike and Maaike, a design studio out of San Francisco is putting out some decent modern designs—all of which are simple and functional. Their furniture designs are so simple, yet still elegant and the rest of their product designs are approached in the same manner. Take a minute to take a look.
Recently, I found a few minutes to click my Stumble Upon button and took a gamble in hopes that the coolest website in the world would pop up. This is what I stumbled upon, AZ & Mut, a design firm in Paris, France.
Being “azimut” means being capable of stepping into all kinds of directions, which is a pretty cool description of what you do for a design firm. The potted plants caught my eye, but there was much more after that. This lamp, the bench set…take a look for yourself.
