Pinnie Awards!

casey — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:07:09 +0000

As you may know, Pinterest is a creative forum that allows people to share stuff—whether it’s design that you love, places you want to go, or simply, stuff that you think is interesting. Cabell’s affinity for Pinterest is well known here at WORK, so we were super excited to see that other people appreciate his boards as much as we do. According to Rob Schwartz, the Chief Creative Officer at TBWA Chiat Day, an awesome Pinterest deserves an award, which is something that we think could really catch on! We love the idea of Pinnies-gold pushpins that go to the most inspiring Pinterest Boards, and we are very proud that Cabell is one of three people with the most inspiring pinboards!

Anatomical Cross-Sections Made with Quilled Paper

casey — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:47:15 +0000

For her Tissue Series, artist Lisa Nilsson constructs anatomical cross sections of the human body using rolled pieces of Japanese mulberry paper, a technique known as quilling or paper filigree. Each piece takes several weeks to assemble and begins with an actual photograph of a lateral or mid-sagittal cross section to which she begins pinning small rolls of paper. Depending on its function she rolls the paper on almost anything small and cylindrical including pins, needles, dowels, and drill bits. She even builds the wooden boxes containing the cross-sections by hand!

Kids Love Stickers

In this installation, artist Yayoi Kusama created a large white space to serve as a canvas for what he calls, The Obliteration Room. Over the course of two weeks, kids were invited to transform this space by decorating it with thousands and thousands of colored dot stickers. Cool installation, but how did little kids reach the ceiling?!

So a while back I posted a video from the guys over at Shwood. Their handmade wooden glasses are awesome and I am now the proud owner of a pair. I couldn’t be happier with the quality and everything down to the instructions is made with great attention to detail. What an awesome piece of design.

Vintage Soda Crates

NotCot.org went on a road trip and found some pretty awesome vintage soda crates. I love how the paint has that great organic deterioration that can only come from years of use. The type and simple logos on these crates are fantastic. I would love to see any one of these brands create throwback cases to go with throwback can or bottle packaging.
