interesting article and rather odd interview (with the son of) 60′-70’s czech toy designer libuse niklova who; in a similar vein to patrick ryland (see post from last week below) chose to use plastic as her material and made a classic collection of toys, with a very singular vision on design
many thanks to ania markham (post panic) for the link
…the name may not be immediately familiar to you, but if you grew up in the late 60s, 70s or 80s, the chances are you had at least one of his toys in your house, more specifically in your bath…
it wasn’t, i did and yes, i did…
interesting guardian piece about patrick ryland the british designer behind the classic playplax, ‘ambi toys’ and the hard to find, ceramic objects ‘bird & fish’
thanks to martin ‘ the ratio’ bacon for the tip
thanks to the stone twins for this link to a modern dazzle ship interpretation
by constantly choosing a new style and approach to their annual graduation campaign, the rietveld academy manages to consistently create visually arresting posters
see for example 2010 or 2013, this year is no exception, the posters and leader for this year are credited to ‘marie grønkær & anna teuber’
thanks to my buddy ‘harm’ for tipping me about this visual weirdness, very nicely done
