Baptiste Debombourg. Une belle maison... dans une poubelle. Dans notre quotidien, le design intervient pour répondre à des besoins, apporter des solutions innovantes à un problème, explorer de nouvelles approches.

Une belle maison... dans une poubelle

On le trouve partout, sous différentes formes, au cœur du processus de création. Mais pour certains le design, c'est aussi se réapproprier son environnement, le détourner de son objet initial pour le faire renaître sous une forme différente. Grand adepte de la récupération, Gregory Kloehn, s'inscrit dans ce courant. Le designer américain réinvente le monde en plein cœur de l'espace urbain. Un de ses derniers projets est ni plus ni moins, une maison conçue dans une benne à ordures. Digital Grotesque pour matérialiser l'inimaginable. Landscape Floor Installations by Suzan Drummen. 2011 Installation CBK Amsterdam Working with crystals, chromed metal, precious stones, mirrors, and optical glass, Dutch artist Suzan Drummen designs labor-intensive landscape floor installations that are full of illusions and optical effects creating a visual array of colorful eye candy.

Each component is individually placed by hand making up the massively intricate patterns that adorn gallery and museum floors. From far away the designs appear to be symmetrical patterns of colors and shapes and upon looking closer, you begin to see the complexity of the individual parts. 2012 Installation Amstelveen 2013 CBK Emmen. Model Kits by Michael Johansson.

La fascination pour les jouets sous forme de kit de l’artiste suédois Michael Johansson ont influencés nombreux de ses projets.

Versailles Controversé. 15 Creative & Unconventional Approaches to Taxidermy. In general, when we think of taxidermy we automatically tend to think of men who like to hunt and mount their catches on their walls as trophies.

15 Creative & Unconventional Approaches to Taxidermy

In recent decades, taxidermy has fallen out of favour as it has garnered a reputation for being somewhat old fashioned and antiquated. However, a new generation of designers have jumped on the taxidermy bandwagon and the practice has undergone a renaissance and is really pushing the boundaries of art, design and decoration further than we could have ever imagined. Kate Clark is a sculptor who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work is a series of narrative portraits that she constructs by creating and then transforming taxidermied animals.

She explores the tension between personal and mythical realms by creating sculpture that synthesizes the human face and the body of wild animals.

Redefining Spaces With Astounding Anamorphic Illusions. Space composition as seen from a single vantage point can offer surprising points of view.

Redefining Spaces With Astounding Anamorphic Illusions

These Anamorphic Illusions by Swiss artist Felice Varini capture a mind-opening spectacle of geometry applied to three dimensional spaces. Based on a complex study of perspective, all the Anamorphic Illusions were created by the artist as part of a series of spaces. A simple change of perspective reveals the stunning works and gives depth to the space. Galleries, staircases, walkways, rooms, lounges or residential spaces – all can be adorned with colorful geometric shapes that alter the space in an unconventional way.

By generating geometric shapes that do not exist in reality, the artist strived to create these stunning artworks that took 30 months to complete. Jaume Plensa. Découverte de Jaume Plensa, un sculpteur contemporain catalan.

Internationalement reconnu, ses créations ne laissent pas indifférent et sont présentes dans divers endroits dans le monde. Plus de ses sculptures en photographies dans la suite de l’article. Index. Debra Baxter. Thru Religion Shadow Cloud by Drzach & Suchy. A shadow cloud is a 3D object the consists of multiple shadow-casting elements that appear to be randomly arranged.

Thru Religion Shadow Cloud by Drzach & Suchy

However, when the shadow is cast various images appear. Drzach & Suchy have created a shadow cloud that casts religious symbols, perhaps a comment on how interconnected we all are, or how these ideas ultimately exist in the same space (we are all on different sides of the same cube)? Watch the video below to see the icons appear. For more on shadow clouds, read about how they work here. Daniel Arsham. Nobuhiro Nakanishi. Osaka, Japan-based Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s mesmerizing body of work entitled Layered Drawings is truly breathtaking.

Nobuhiro Nakanishi

He photographs a scene or object repeatedly over time, then laser prints each shot and mounts them onto acrylic. Change is captured in each frame, and once layered, they become sculpture installations. The overall effect shows movement and the subtle passage of time.

Tree Trunks Burst Through Gallery Walls

It's as if he has the supernatural ability to control trees, making them burst through the walls at his own whim. When Oliveira was a student in São Paulo, there was a plywood fence outside his window that began to peel and fade into different layers and colors. The wood, called tapumes in Portuguese, is ubiquitous in the Brazilian city. When the fence was dismantled, Oliveira collected the remains and used them as raw materials for his senior show.
