inspired by antique Tibetan Thangka paintings, designer Joanna Michalowicz at Asha Carpets captured her own clouds and wind in Mandala. the rich coral reds with blue, silver, turquoise and gold silk outlines really gives a great burst of colours. warm, exotic and mysterious. i would want this in my dream home office against all the white furniture and dark chocolate surroundings. made of the best high land Tibetan hand spun wool or 100% New Zealand wool and silk. also available in rectanglar shape and different sizes.
i know i just recently mentioned to you about 3form's product. i'm just really in love with many of their 2006 collection that i have to show you more (of course the cute puppies caught my eyes, too). although capiz shells are known as popular organic materials, they have been used quite often in modern design to soften the overall look. 3form's reinvented these shells in playful colours and patterns to make your space more interesting and updated. they are available in (L to R, T to B) honey sienna, natural cream, natural silver, silver pink, turquoise blue, full straight, and random.
designer Jethro Macey's lace concrete tiles has the unusual high-tech sophiscation. you can find unisex designs out there but you can hardly find a design that has both masculinity and femininity in one. the lace rose pattern is translated into a 3-d form using CNC milling. the slabs reveal the rose pattern when laid in multiples. both interior and exterior tiles are available. they are slightly heavier than normal wall tiles so they suggest a strong adhesive. available in grey & white for 38GBP per tile @blend design store. minimum order of 3 tiles.
oh! this is so much fun! awesome graphics on transparent surfaces - 2 of my favorite things. Graphic is one of 3form's new collections; it's 'bold in size, fresh in perspective and clean in presentation.' 8 patterns are available: (from top left) mega dentelle, bulbe, spot, dentelle, jacquard, mega bulbe, fern and dentelle pinke. these glass panels make great room dividers. the best part of choosing 3form's product is that you get to customize the colour to match your space. the colour example shown here is gulfstream. go to the 'You Create' page to experience the full range of colours.
Turkish designer Adnan Serbest created this shelving unit in the most simple and pure form. although it's large in scale (18' long), with its glass shelving and pencil-thin metal bars mounted on the wall, this bookcase can take minimalist style to a whole new level if you don't put any books on them. it can serve as a grand, sleek backdrop in a space. with stuff on it, it can still keep its airy and floating look.
you've probably figured out by now that i'm drawn to patterns that have potential to make people dizzy. for some reasons, they inspire me when i stare at them and daydream. designers Ragnar Hultgren & Jenny Oldsjo's Espalier is another great example. this partitioner is made in white & black plastic. the bonus of this design is that it's just like building blocks. you get to change the shape whenever you feel like to. it's a good balance of freedom and restriction.
Osborne and Little's patterns are always elegant and stunning. here is some vintage fabulousness for you. acclaimed as part of the design revolution of the '60s, 8 of their most successful and dazzling designs are reintroduced in new and contemporary colourings. they return as the Vintage collection. the examples shown here are: Wilde Carnation - rows of stylised carnations in metallic and lacquer (left); and Minaret - an all-over striped pattern in the form of a tower(right). just like fashion, home decoration goes in a full circle as well.
designer Erika Hanson felt thtat room surfaces should have a living presence. she began experimenting with shapes that might make people want to touch. the result is these Objects for Walls. they offer 'a contemporary alternative to the plain walls typical of modern interior environments. blurring traditional categories of sculpture, architecture and furiture, these objects change the way we perceive the boundaries of a room.' with these 3-in-1 Objects for Walls, you can have a wall that no longer just to divide spaces but 'interact' with your life by being a sculpural-like art and lighting for ambience.
blik is wall graphics for the commitment phobic. i know people who need and want changes for their spaces all the time. i also know people who tried to spice up their walls but hated the results after many hours stenciling. i think i've found a solution for them. blik is a collection of oversized, geometric decals that allow users to create personalized wallscapes. all the decals are self-adhesive, easy to apply, and removable. you can change your minds anytime. the collection is priced from $32US to $56US.
if textured wallpaper just doesn't seem to give you the depth you want, then modularArts may be the solution. many great designs are available for these smooth, ceramic-like panels. many designers have used them in commercial spaces such as restaurants and designer clothing store. small scale to create depth and shadow; large scale to create pleasing visual illusion. another plus of modularArts, the panels are able to protect the materials behind them from the heat of hte flame for up to 2 hours because they are entirely mineral.
you want something brilliant for your home; use Scintilla for your walls for floors. hundred of light conducting channels are carved into a transparent block of clear of pigmented polymer to create each Scintilla tile. these fiber-optic elements give the material the ability to shift, shimmer and ripple in response to movement and changes in light intensity on the tiles. 
the tiles will respond to shadows, moving lights and will also pick up colours and disperse them on its surface. Scintilla can be used in both horizontal and vertical applications but are not recommended for areas of high-heat or open flames. Scintilla is available in 5 colors. check out Sensitile for other more sutble Terrazzo & Volatile.
this multifunctional piece of Hivemindesign's is a room divider that can also act as light shelving. it's a modern design with retro geometric aspect. although there's lots of lines involved, it won't make the space busy because the pattern's unified and repetitive (unless you put too many random pieces on it, in this case). remember this when you consider of incorporating any graphics on room dividing units. made with Knoll textiles; if you view the unit straight on, it's almost transparent. if you view it at an angle, you won't see past it.

when i lived in Asia, i was really impressed by Liuli Gonfang's works. i finally remember to post about it here. they took an ancient technique and turned it into a refined scientific process. they've researched and developed superior and more effective pate-de-verre techniques. after only 13 years, Liuli Gongfang has already become one of the best glass studios in the world.
