VIMEO FAVS Pt.2

 

Modern homes, both real and fake, as featured in the movies.
This is one of my all times favorite Vimeo finds.

A vacation house is turned on its side and its parts stacked up to access the view.
The main living space is cantilevered above in the forest canopy—up in the trees.

A two-minute animated voyage through some of the most iconic masterpices of modern architecture:  Ville Savoye by Le Corbusier, Rietveld Schröder House by Gerrit Rietveld, Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Glass House by Philip Johnson and Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Gray Matters is narrated by director Mary McGuckian, whose forthcoming film, The Price of Desire charts
Gray’s conflicted relationships with Jean Badovici and Le Corbusier relative to her masterpiece, the Villa E1027.

Born and raised in Vacaville, California, Stefan Janoski has come to be one of the most stylish and humble skateboarders to grace the planet. Often regarded as an enigmatic soul, Stefan's also a exceptionally talented artist, who in recent years has developed an innate passion and quite remarkable skill for sculpting.

Comic Book Heaven is a wonderful, short documentary that tells the story of Joe Leisner,
owner of the comic book store Comic Book Heaven located in Sunnyside, Queens NY.

A love story... beautiful one.

I really, really liked these plates by José Antonio Roda, an illustrator and graphic designer based in Madrid. His other pottery items are also super awesome, but this “famous” set is just fantastic. My personal fav is Keith Haring, but hey, I could do with Grace Jones as well. :)

THE ALCHEMISTS DRESSING TABLE

. . .

London-based studio HEKA of designer Lauren Davies
created a collection of analog tools for the production of natural cosmetics at home, inspired by beautiful ancient rituals and the transformative powers of alchemy.

“I believe this could be the future of cosmetics for the modern woman who has a desire to be in control of what she uses on her skin and the impact they have on our environment. The tools I’ve designed will enable women to forge a stronger connection to their beauty rituals and a more magical relationship with nature’s intricate mysteries.”

CURRENTLY IN LOVE No. 94

 

Ovaj C.I.L. nešto duži nego inače, zbog opravdanog dvonedeljnog izostanka (ko bi rekao da se brand new lap top tako brzo kvari?). Uglavnom, spremila sam vam toliko lepota, pa da ne dužim…

♥ Selgascano

Sećate se priče o youth centru, Factoria Joven skate parku koji je projektovao Selgascano? Pre nekih nedelju dana, preslatka Dana Tomić sa mog obožavanog Yellowtrace-a napisala je sjajan post “Beautiful Buildings Below The Ground” gde je izmedju ostalog spomenula i ovaj madridski studio, namely njihova dva projekta - Silicon House u Madridu kao i njihove kancelarije.

“Simple recipes deliciously shot”. Nemam šta da dodam.

♥ Writing shed by WSD

“WSD architecture inserts writer’s shed into UK back garden. Conceived as a haven in the city, the ‘writer’s shed’ by WSD architecture was designed for an author and illustrator to quietly work from. Influenced by the client’s passion for children’s literature and mythologies, the small shelter evokes the idea of a fairy-tale hut at the bottom of the garden and offers a secret space that one can retreat to. “ This is precisely what I need! / found via

♥ This Illustration (and following story) 

U pitanju je ilustracija (by Josephin Ritschel)  kuće E.1027 koju je dizajnirala i u kojoj je živela čuvena Eileen Gray. Le Corbusier je bio toliko oduševljen kućom da ju je (mislim na kuću, a ne na Eileen) redovno obilazio. Posle nekog vremena odlučio je da iscrta seriju lascivnih murala po belim zidovima. Eileen Gray je bila toliko zgrožena incidentom da se više nikada nije vratila u E.1027.

♥ Gelatology Workshops

Great idea from studio Fludd. They organize so-called gelatology workshops, were the participants get three adjectives to be expressed, some time to sketch and then materials to work with, and they each have to come up with their very own ice-cream cone artwork. (found via iiiinspired)

♥ This Painting

Svi koji su bili na Krfu, znaju da rano popodne ume da izgleda baš ovako nežno. Slika je delo John Singer Sargent-a i zove se “Corfu/ Lights and Shadows”, 1909.

♥ Missoni Fall 2014 RTW

Sve mi se sviđa. Sve… or should I say “Sveeeeeeee!!!” ?

♥ 30 fantastic websites to lose yourself in

Sjajan post na The fox is black. Ozbiljan potencijal za bookmarkovanje. Rukujte pažljivo. Ovo dole su neki od favorita, naime Noisli i Colourcode. Usput da spomenem i Birdsong.fm , (s obzirom da im se nisu našli na listi) za sve vas koji ste upoznati sa konceptom Noislia (ili ste pak u potrazi za kvalitetnim nature zvukovima).

Još jedno mesto “to lose yourself in”.  Reč je o pinterest board-u sa preko 700 Carl Larsson-ovih ilustracija.  Treasure, that’s what it is – weekend edition.
