how beautiful is this light!
bernabeifreeman create the most gorgeous patterns, love the shadows cast too!

patterns everywhere!

A bit of graphic design love! I was looking through the Bleux catalogue at work yesterday and jumped onto the website ... such great visuals incorporated into interiors (and exteriors). The distinctive graphics have been put to use across many mediums including fabric, resin, rugs, films, wallpaper, wall decals and my favourite concrete!

On the website creative director Skye Molyneux states she "believes good design should work in any medium", I agree and I think she has more than proven it! The images say it all really so here are a few...

two of my favourite patterns - facet (above) and chroma (below)

a great example of how the bleux graphics are applied
across different mediums and uses

can't go wrong with trees!

absolutely love the graphics imprinted onto exteriors!

the crux pattern is another favourite, especially in this medium!

and they do wall decals too!

grand designs

A favourite show of mine is the BBC's Grand Designs. The presenter Kevin McCloud takes you on ups and downs of peoples journey's to create their dream home. From innovative social housing schemes to hexagon shaped homes!, the projects are always interesting and can also show innovative building processes. A few picks follow of one of the homes featured, a kit home in the desert!

love the openness of the design - and the sparse desert landscape!
