The architecture of forest sounds #wooden #megaphone #estonia

9. Oktober 2015 von schall & rauch

Today, while surfing the net for yet another awesome Internet find to share, we came across a very interesting installation project run by the Interior Architecture Department of the Estonian Academy of Arts: three giant wooden megaphones amplifying the sounds of life within the forest for those who seek respite from civilization and want to feel even closer to nature and its inhabitants. At the same time, these wooden structures are meant to be a place to rest from the […]

How to think outside the box: The Wave Cabinet #sculpture #furniture #art #design

23. September 2015 von schall & rauch

A „functional sculpture“, the „translation of craftsmanship into fine art“, a piece of furniture that can speak, a cabinet containing a big heart – the wave cabinet by New York based artist Sebastian ErraZuriz is all this and more. It’s pretty awesome, don’t you think! It certainly provides lots of room for the exploration of your creativity, although showing off with it will take a bit of skill. via Tech Insider

Amazing gigantic murals of sleeping giants by Ella & Pitr #hintmag #ellapitr #streetart

2. September 2015 von schall & rauch

Now I really wish I was a bird living somewhere in France, unless French street artists Ella & Pitr are also mystifying the aerial view of other places around the world. Then I’d like to be a migrating birdy bird flying back and forth across the continents, while trying to discover as many of these beautiful sleeping giants as possible. Geez, we just love these! And now, please meet Ella & Pitr! We are gigantically impressed. Thanks hintmag.com for sharing […]

This will bend your mind: flexible sculptures made of #paper #lihongbo #art

8. Juli 2015 von schall & rauch

Almost straight out of a horror movie: the art made by Li Hongbo is clearly mind-bending. I will probably not sleep so well tonight…

#Banksy – really arrested or still at large?

21. Oktober 2014 von schall & rauch

Yesterday, news broke on the National Report that the famously elusive and as of yet unidentified (much to the horror of the London police force) graffiti artist Banksy was arrested by a 24-hour task force in a supposedly very clever and elaborate investigation culminating in a grand finale of the raid of (one of) the artist’s studios. Finally revealing his IDENTITY. And bringing him to JUSTICE. Soon after, more ‚vandalism‘ was posted on Banksy’s homepage with yet another one of […]

Ignore the problem? Why not wallpaper it instead! #iamfinley

30. September 2014 von schall & rauch

Wallpaper. It’s everywhere and there are are so many different kinds: plain, ugly, colorful, with or without patterns, nostalgic, postmodern, structured, depicting the latest holiday snapshot or full of teddy bears and matchbox cars. And they all have only one purpose: to cover up unattractive concrete and brick walls and decorate interior spaces. It’s probably a real fun job to be a wallpaper designer, don’t you think! But what happens if you take the domestic wallpaper – whatever kind you like – outside and […]

How to build a #nest with 26 wooden sticks

12. August 2014 von schall & rauch

I counted and if I’m not mistaken, Markus Johansson uses 15 large and 11 smaller wooden sticks to make this uncomfortable-looking lounge chair called Nest. And this is how it is made: Its entirely strange, seemingly random but extremely calculated design is breath-taking and truly ingenious. And the funny thing is that I can see myself curling up comfortably in the tentacles of this wooden monster. Would you put this thing in your living room? Would it fit with the […]

Wow, mal ein ganz anderer #Font: #LXTYPE, die offizielle #Schrift der Stadt #Lissabon!

20. Februar 2014 von glanzundgloria

Da hat wohl ein Typedesigner in der Sonne gesessen, in den blauen Himmel geschaut und über das Netz der Straßenbahn gegrübelt, welches sich filigran über die Stadt spannt … Nicht wirklich hübsch, aber in jedem Fall Besonders. Liebevoll (ab)gezeichnete Buchstaben (sogar mit Umlauten!) sind daraus entstanden und stehen kostenlos auf en.lxtype.pt zum Download bereit! (Ok, so zumindest stelle ich mir die Entstehungsgeschichte vor, kann/wird wohl viel profaner sein.) Praktischerweise kann man den Font gleich online testen. Bei jedem eingetippten Buchstaben […]
