Marian Bantjes.

Marian Bantjes is a design genius as far as I’m concerned. I’m literally ready to sing her praises from the rooftops. I love her even more for refering to her gorgeous designs for the latest Saks Fifth Avenue campaign as “swirly stuff” – fantastic!

Bantjes was hired for the project by Michael Beirut of Pentagram. After creating the signature Want It! piece, they moved on to the accompanying eighteen – nine each for men and women. Even Bantjes was suprised when the design didn’t stop there. Saks proceeded to create 3D sculptures of the “swirly stuff,” as well as surface coverings, wallpaper and carpeting.

I wish you could buy these pieces somewhere…maybe once they call it a day with this campaign it’ll hit eBay? Craziner things have happened.
