In May 2008 I wrote about the futuristic fashion photography’s from Lucy and Bart. Now I’ve discovered these amazing chairs by Kyeok Kim, and I can’t help but to see the resemblance.

And I am happy to see that jellyfishes are a big inspiration to others as well, now that they are popping up in products and animations. The most magnificent jellyfish-thing I saw at Salone del mobile was the amazing Canon installation of Neoreal at Trienale.
