| Modernized Classics: Pixelated Portraits Adorn Furniture Posted: 01 Mar 2014 07:57 AM PST
A pixelated portrait from a classic painting is splashed across traditional furniture designs in a modern-meets-Old-World mashup by Italian design firm Studio Badini Creatam. The Trip Pixel Collection consists of a wardrobe and two small chests of drawers with ornate shapes and details that wouldn’t look out of place in historic European homes and hotels, but shaken up with the addition of a little bit of modern technology. Created for Italian brand Seletti, which offers a wide range of classic designs that have been updated in a fun way, the collection visually references two very different time periods, maintaining a sense of cohesiveness through the imagery chosen. Perhaps it wouldn’t have worked quite as well if the art used had been that of, say, Jackson Pollock or Andy Warhol. Classic French baroque style meets 21st century digital tech with the subtle pixelation, which is extended around all sides of each piece and integrated into details like the handles. Pixelation has been brought into interior design and product design in lots of fun ways, including color-changing wall tiles and ‘censorship towels‘ that appear to blur out your private parts.

| Plant-Watering Dish Rack Drains into Herb Pots Posted: 28 Feb 2014 01:56 PM PST Here’s an idea so brilliantly simple, you’ll wonder why IKEA isn’t already selling it in five different colors. ‘Scolapianta’ by Mathery design studio is a wooden dish rack with just two legs so it can be propped on top of a planter. Then, when you wash your dishes and put them up to dry, the water drains right into the pots. If you’ve got a sunny kitchen window and you wash your dishes by hand, it almost seems silly not to have a dish rack like this. You could select plants according to the frequency of your dish washing – herbs or succulents that require very little water if you don’t use a rack too often, or swamp-loving plants if you do multiple sink loads per day. It’s just the smallest tweak from a typical dish rack, yet it has a big impact on functionality. A similar concept in an all-in-one kitchen design hangs the dishes vertically above rectangular planters to achieve a similar effect. Keep Going - Check Out These Great Related Dornob Articles: |
