We found this creative stool idea by Holly Palmer, a contemporary furniture designer who has a crush on vivid colors. Since this blog is about fresh approaches, her works didn’t go unnoticed. For today we chose to share with you this playful set of tea cup stools, which ranks high in chromatic but also originality. The set features small plastic chairs in six different colors, bound to create a special universe for children, filled up with life and personality. The storing idea is also surprising. Once the chairs are no longer needed, they can be hung on a cool device, especially created for giant cups. The set costs $298.00 and can be purchased online here.

Still Loving Youth second edition is divided into three inter-connected parts, diverse features, together under the wider theme of TYPES ARE FUN. With this edition they’re playing and having fun with the aphabet and the art of typography which may sound foreign, complicated, but unavoidable. With this edition, they aim to provoke people to pay more attention, introduce them, and make them fall in love all over again with the world of typography through writing, photos, and light articles on this amazing publication.

See after the jump for the preview of Still Loving Youth #2.

From Still Loving Youth:

Three months after our first publication, Still Loving Youth is back with our second edition.  This edition, uses a different format, theme and collaborators from our first edition.

This second edition is divided into three inter-connected parts, where each part is formed from diverse features, which come together under our wider theme of Types Are Fun.

In this edition, we have tried to play with the alphabet and the art of typography, which is often neglected by designers, even though notabene typography is one element of design which can’t be avoided.  For people who live outside the world of design, the word typography may sound foreign, or complicated.

As a result, we have tried to ‘provoke’ people to pay more attention, introduce, and then fall in love with the world of typography through a variety of writing, photos and light articles, the fruit of the careers of our collaborators, which this time come from a variety of designers, schools and various art and educational communities.

The schools – from pre-schools to kindergartens – we allowed the students to be creative in reconstructing fonts made by local typographers.  The children’s creations took a variety of forms, from paint, through beads to rugos.  As well as displaying the children’s creativity in deconstructing the letters, we also feature various articles, linked to the world of children, particularly the process where children are introduced to letter shapes.

For various communities, we asked them to make their own font creations, based on their own specialities, such as the knitting community and origami from Tobucil, Bandung, which made letters from knitting wool, and origami paper.  Meanwhile, the Brick Club Indonesia made a miniature town and letters from brick toys (Lego).
Other than creating fonts, in another section of this publication, we asked five photographers in five different Indonesian cities to document the special and unique street typography, reflecting the condition of the city where they live, in the form of photographic essays.

Finally, everything undertaken by our family of contributors in this second edition of Still Loving Youth, has indirectly created fonts and typographic art which feels great, light, and can be enjoyed by all members of the community.
In this edition, we’re not afraid to declare that fonts and typograhy are now starting to have a new meaning: fun.
Still Loving Youth 2nd Edition: Types Are Fun. Three  separate volumes compiled in one folder box package. 1000 hand-numbered limited-edition copies.

Ready to freshen up your mind and sight after the holly jolly day!

You can say that I don’t understand anything about women’s fashion. If it’s fit nicely on a female form then I’ll say it is a good fashion, that’s pretty much how I judge a women’s clothing, But this Spring/Summer collection by Dries van Noten caught my attention. Just last week, president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono calls for Oct. 2 “batik day” to celebrate UN recognition of batik as an Indonesian cultural treasure. It’s funny to see that our society needs an “approval” from UN to celebrate a legacy we have for hundreds of years.
Now the hype continues, the art form has been adopted by Belgian born designer, Dries van Noten in his S/S 2010 collection. From the photos, it looks like he make use of the Parang motif Batik featured in a skirt and blouse. In this collection he utilized many kinds of traditional fabric from different kind of culture and country, injected a lot of colors and energy to the collection.

Thanks to Soubrette for the heads up. images via ElleUk.

Robert Bradford creates his life-size and larger-than-life sculptures of humans and animals from discarded plastic items, mainly toys but also other colorful plastic bits and pieces, such as combs and buttons, brushes and parts of clothes pegs.

Contrary to some reports, he’s not a self-taught artist who tinkered in his shed one day and suddenly decided to create something out of his kids’ discarded toys. He is a London-born and U.K. and U.S.-trained visual artist who, like many artists, also had another career on the side. His was that of a psychotherapist.

In 2002, he started to consider the possibilities that his children’s forgotten toys could have as part of something bigger. Bradford says he likes the idea that the plastic pieces have a history, some unknown past, and that they also pass on a “cultural” history as each of the pieces represents a point in time. Recycling is not his primary concern, but each sculpture certainly keeps quite a few pieces from becoming landfill. Some of the sculptures contain pieces from up to 3,000 toys and sell for £12,000 (US$19,000). – Tuija Seipell

This event was held at toimoi ar+design at 7.30 pm, in Kemang, Jakarta. It’s no surprise that the title of this event reminds us of a Beatles song, because both Mastomcustom and the owner of toimoi are fans of the band. It seems Love Love Me Cub suits the event well. Visitors are welcomed to look around the shop, accompanied with accoustic Beatles songs by Revolver. Occasionally we have Mastomcustom coming up to play the guitar serenading the vocalist.

In this collaboration, Mastomcustom brings us 3 Motor bebek (Maxi-scooter) units from the years 1969, 1971, and 1975 that has been assembled and redesigned with the themes : Picnic, Touring, and Postman.

In one corner of the shop, stands a white and light blue motorcycle complete with a postman bag, a mailbox filled with overflowing letters, other mr. postman attributes, and finally a writing on the wall reading; Wait a minute, Mr.Postman.

Whereas toimoi has launced a line of products called ‘Moped Series’, consisting of bandanas, pillows, chairs, tables, carpets, and other variant products. The participating young designers include Afini Dwinastary, Raditya Ardianto Taepur, Pulung Jatmiko Arief, dan Rahmi Pertama, and toimoi’s own design team known as toimoists.
This event is also held to celebrate toimoi’s anniversary last September. The intimate and warm atmosphere is set  throughout the night in the nicely arranged room.Hopefully, events like this will keep on existing and of course, evolving creatively.
