Oh! A Zig-Zag!














Antonio Ladrillo is an illustrator from Spain. The book “Oh! A Zig-Zag!” is in Spanish and is intended to teach children about shapes and color in a simple way. The shapes twist and turn around each other on each page, and the captains are short and playful.

Poser




























New York based industrial designer and artist William Lee recently designed Poser – a geometrical lighting structure.

Poser’s pure and structurally simple form gently leans against the wall at a 25 degree angle and relies on its interior space to function and stand. Presented at this year’s New York Design Week for Wanted Design, the metal lamp shade pivots and is designed for left and right orientation of the foot base.

SILK

















Industrial designer and architect Alessandro Di Prisco recently created SILK. A one meter square table made of Corian. The versatility of Corian allows it to be thermoformed and shaped in organic shapes like the SILK table. A table that is solid as a rock but looks like a scarf taken by the wind.

The sinuous shapes are the support of the table creating a visual continuity between top and bottom.

United Measures















Founded in 2010, United Measures, the fine art frame fabrication business of Melbourne-based craftsman and designer Ryan Wards, creates bespoke and detailed frames with an earnest respect for timber.

With a background in graphic design, Ryan spent years working in a busy commercial graphic design environment, dedicating himself to framing and screenprinting in his spare time, until finally transitioning to running his own business. Every piece from United Measures is handcrafted by Ryan and his father, Roger Ward, with attention to detail and never using pre-finished materials.
