In the beginning of January we had a poem collage workshop at our creative space. The participants created some great collages and here are the results: “Drawing on abstract quotes from popular media the collage is both a critique and a social encouragement.

Usually I’m not very interested in the worldwide trends, or something that is happening extensively, because most of the time it’s too closely related to massive production, has a strong odour of simple consumerism, is very predictable and far away from the true innovation. But today I’m totally immersed into a trend that not only […]
Right now I have quite a few things that I would like to share with you here, but in-between holidays, future planing and other little jobs, writing gets slightly behind the rest of the things. However, I still have a week to do as much writing as I can before we move to the other side of the […]
It is fascinating how the smallest details, patterns and textures intertwine and repeat in the world around us. Each structure resembles another one.

You might think that is a weird thing to say, but I just love natural dyes! Maybe it is not so odd if you consider that I am a textile designer, so my mind is always filled with ideas about colours, patterns, textures, materials and, of course, dyes.

I just discovered something great and had to share it with you all. This time I am admiring some beautiful photographic creations, in particular, a series of photographs called ’Impermanence’ by Seung-Hwan Oh. The collection is inspired by the second law of thermodynamics and explores the ideas of temporal dimension, disappearance and disintegration. ’Impermanence’ is expressed through microbiological practise, where a film […]
Ceramic Artist Andrea Roman, working under the name AR Ceramics, makes beautiful and unique hand thrown ceramic pieces, inspired by sand, mud, dirt and soil. The artist takes care to combine different textures in her work, such as the coarseness of a sandy clay with the smooth glazed surfaces. Have a look at Andrea’s website, to […]
Now it is the time of the year when we can enjoy the longest hours of sunshine and fill ourselves with high amounts of energy it offers. Just a few days ago we had the Summer Solstice. And tonight in many countries there is a celebration dedicated to this event, a beautiful celebration worshipping Nature. For this reason […]
I am very excited to share my newest findings with you all! And that is a few great conceptual projects by a Berlin based designer collective Blond and Bieber, a company that has great ideas and modern approach to everyday objects. It is a collaborative work between a textile and product designers who like to put emphasis on story-telling […]
I would like to bring to you the work of Edwin van der Heide, an artist and researcher from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, whose work involves exploration and playfulness with concepts such as sound, space, light and technology. Edwin uses diverse media to chase awareness through experiencing physical phenomena. He succeeds in producing places with beautiful […]
