Its getting closer to valentine and mass-produced hearts and teddy bears are filling up the stores. To me the romance of valentines day seems to get a bit lost in all these commercial products, so its nice to see something as beautiful, exclusive and handcrafted as this amazing Ventricle Vase by Eva Milinkovic of Tsunami Glassworks. The shapes, colours and material just makes this heart stand out, and almost like mine, this heart is made of glass and needs to bee well cared for…

I am fortunate enough to have a lot of really talented friends and this time I want to introduce you to Anja Niemi. She is a Norwegian photographer, and last year she exhibited the series: ”porcelain” both in Norway and London. I do have a soft spot for animal, so its not a surprise that I adore the horse motifs, but I also love how she has worked with the black on black/ white on white effect. To see more photos check out Anjas Blog or webpage.

So today has been the first day of designers Christmas marked and here is a quick update. I’ve been lucky enough to stand next to two really talented friends of mine; Anja Niemi and Kati (Ola og Kari). See more pictures from our stands after the jump and if you are in Oslo make sure to stop by at DogA tomorrow!!
Utsnitt was the name of the yearly Norwegian photo-contest, unfortunately with a bad reputation of not having high enough standards and few known contestants. Utsnitt (witch mean something like a close-up or a piece of a bigger picture) has therefore transformed into a Gullsnitt (the golden ratio) with the help from Anti design agency. This year the contest for advertising agencies and photographers are aiming high to see the cream of the crop among commercial-photography!
Last time i wrote about Julien De Repentigny is said “he scares me, he is that good”. Today I got an email from Julien, asking me to check out his latest work, and I have to say; Julien you still scare me!! His work is playful, sassy and funky at the same time as you can see the amazing amount of work behind it. His niche of using paper folded into 3d models is just a brilliant touch to his expressive designs! Take a look of some of his latest work by pressing more! (more…)
