Want to bee seen, known and published? To have your 15 min of fame and maybe even gain some respect? Well if you are a graphic designer, now is your chance! Zeixs are looking for innovative, fresh and surprising new graphic designs for their new book; “Graphic design worldwide, Scandinavia”. They are looking all over the place for the best work from Scandinavia, so hurry up and send it to them on THIS page!

I am not a graphic designer but I really do appreciate good illustrations and graphic design. I am no expert, but sometimes I think its almost easier not to be. You can just judge a picture or an illustration based on your immediate response and feelings. And my feeling for the work of Ted Mcgarth is just so good! Not only does he show us his amazing typographies and illustrations on his site, but he actually invites us to take a look at his sketchbook as well. It can’t get more personal than that… just take a look!

It’s summer and time to invite friends over for gossip and a good cup of tee and maybe a piece of cake. And what better way to make a cute and fun table than to decorate it with the Flower series by Thora Breidfjord. Inspired from the dull old baking forms that you usually can find in your grandmothers kitchen drawer, she has transformed them into handmade porcelain dishes and bowls, each one bearing the name of the flower on which its shape is based!

This is just amazing, and it couldn’t be a better time to say “I’m blown away”! Johannes Hemann has actually made a balance between casual shapes and controled design. He has created a series of products all made with the help of storms! Not natural storms, but small energy-generated storms, that blows materials together, so that it sticks and creates a shape. The results are some really beautiful products, which you can see here if you just press more…

“Fridtjof” table made of cork

“Oswine” a lamp made of polypropylen filings

“Emma” lamp made of styrofoam

“Paula” lamp made of plexiglass granulate

My third and final year at Istituto Marangoni in Milan is coming to an end. Soon i will have my diploma and can call myself a real fashion-designer! Every year the graduating students take part in the big fashion show for the school in july and that includes me this year. Also, I did a photo-shoot with an super talented up and coming stylist, Veronika Sandøy, also a third year student at Marangoni. I´m very happy with the result, and i would like to show you some of the pictures here on the blog. Feel free to comment, feedback is always good.

Oh, and if you are in Milan next wednsday (2th july)-you should get some tickets to the show!
