—

The study I Have Pop Amsterdam has created this interesting project of Street furniture. 

—

—

The idea is to create design objects (with high prevalence for chairs) with material from the road, metal nets, signs, pallets, walls and all that you can make an interesting piece of design. 

—

—

The project is on the border between the urban art and design semi-industrial and even if not new (the basic principle is the same bags Freitag ), the study of Amsterdam, however, has found a way to re-invent objects without losing the quality and design.

pckgng | legacy - colin garven: "Also heroes can have a drink."

—

the dieline says

—

—

“Colin Garven, a Digital Arts & Design student at Full Sail University created LEGACY to pay homage to the adventurers of the 1930s film serials.

LEGACY embodies that sense of exploration and bravery so boldly displayed by its heroes.

Taken from the time where men had true grit, the packaging was designed to resemble the look of hidden treasure that only gains value with age.”

—

—

“The brand’s logo features an elephant gun that represents adventure while the telescope represents exploration.

—

—

The use of strong materials and textures gives the owner a complete experience that highlights the fine taste of its whisky.

—

—

LEGACY is unique with the feel of its leather, burlap, and metal accompanying the smell of wood and burnt label edges.

Cask strength whisky is the strongest type of scotch and must be further distilled before drinking, and it is with that pure, bold taste the brand was created.

From the high peaks of mountains to the vast oceans of water, LEGACY salutes those who venture beyond the civilized and into the wild searching for the next great journey.”

retail | digital library - YTA: "your room into the city."

dezeen says

—

—Digital Library by YTA

—

Brazilian architects YTA have converted the spare room of a house into a multimedia library where pine floorboards and industrial lighting climb the walls.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

Some of the pine boards also fold forwards from the concrete block walls to create shelves for storing books.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

On the far wall, boards fold up from the floor to create a stand for a television, revealing a base of stark concrete below.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

A desk is positioned along the back wall of the room, while other furniture and miscellaneous items are scattered around elsewhere and electrical sockets are integrated within the lighting grids.

Here’s some more information from YTA:

Digital Library – Retro-nology

At YTÅ, we believe in the essence of materials, in rationalizing resources and in optimizing elements when creating our projects and environments.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

This library materialized these three concepts and created a space where high-tech contrasts with raw matter, returns to its origins, creating dialogue and balance.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

The space is made up of juxtaposed layers:

the concrete base, the wooden shell, the metal wrapping.

All these elements are exposed, made evident and work together.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

As the main character, certified pine wood boards run, fold and unfold themselves throughout the room, wrapping the books in their own original media, closing the cycle.

—

Digital Library by YTA

—

Technology here is in favour of the user, allowing him to control his whole environment (audio, video, lighting, temperature, safety) through a tablet, as well as connecting him to the world through online navigation. Making a statement, vintage elements maintain the memory of the analogic and books and magazines are available at arm’s reach, for they are, as we believe, irreplaceable.

This project was built in a family home, located in Ribeirao Preto – state of São Paulo, in Brazil.

pckgng | fisherman:" for fish and for man."

“Rubber boots are treated as purely utilitarian footwear by Kazakh anglers, so the attention is mostly focused on functional characteristics of the product.

Very often consumers are not looking for stylish or beautiful Wellington boots and, therefore, often have a difficulty in selecting among the product produced by different manufacturers.

The client asked agency to create a package for rubber boots that would highlight the advantages of this utilitarian footwear.

The package should stand out on a shelf, attract attention and encourage consumers to purchase “Fisherman”.

—

01 12 11 fisherman4

—

SolutionRubber boots are underestimated product in many respects.

Everybody is aware of their primary function - protection from water.

However, there are many advantages that are not obvious at the first glance and consumer doesn’t even think about.

Standard fishermen boots are able to protect the wearer from a lot of dangers:- Environmental debris (glass, wire, etc.)- Natural hazards (sharp rocks, driftwood)- Biological threats (dangerous and predatory creatures) - Chemical hazards (oil, gasoline, acids)- Electrical hazards

—

01 12 11 fisherman5

—

After analyzing how all these threats can be visually represented we realized that probably the best way to communicate protective functions of the boots was through….  images of fish! It is a very exciting topic that is very familiar to anglers and an excellent opportunity to combine several types of risks in one image.

For example an electric eel symbolizes biological and electrical hazards.

—

01 12 11 fisherman601 12 11 fisherman2

—

The package itself is designed as a mini-stand, which creates an illusion of boots immersed in water.

This way the consumer can see all of the protective properties of the boots. The upper part of the package shows that often you cannot see what is really happening under water because of the glare and ripples.

The message we want to convey to a consumer – though there are a lot of hidden underwater hazards you are safe with “Fisherman” rubber boots.”

pckging | evian - courrèges limited edition: "fahion drink water."

_____

the dieline says

_____

______

Composed of 100% recyclable packaging and printed with organic ink…that’s love.

“When you think of Evian, most likely the first thing that pops into your mind is luxury.

Other words and adjectives that also fit the bill include ‘refreshing,’ ‘vitality,’ and ‘energy.’

As a result, all of these associations have made Evian’s ongoing pairing with the upcoming US Open a perfect match.

______

_______

However one unexpected descriptor for the bottled water is ‘fashionable,’ which hopefully will change this Fashion’s Night Out when Evian unveils its new collaboration with French fashion designer Courrèges on a limited edition bottle at Jeffrey New York and Colette in Paris — but I’ve found it also at intermarchè (mr.seeb)
One of the pioneering design houses of our time, Courrèges will be soon be celebrating its 50th anniversary by bringing its vibrant aesthetic to thirsty mouths everywhere.”

A porcelain desk organiser which takes its idea from an observation that many people use mugs to hold their pens. Combining this idea with the iconic plastic tube desk organiser of the 70’s inspired the form. At a quick glance the decoration has a traditional feel, but look closer and you will see modern day desk items hidden in the pattern.
