Anders Røkkum

 

If you’d like a little escape today, check out these illustrations by Anders Røkkum. The Bergen, Norway-based artist creates some dark work, both literally and figuratively speaking. It’s all very well executed, but I’m most drawn to the pieces that take place in the stars. Check out his Instagram for the most up-to-date work.

Diz-Diz Popcorn

 

When the makers of gourmet microwave Diz-Diz Popcorn tasked Tatabi Studio with creating packaging that was both fun and luxurious, they started with the four flavor profiles – Parmesan, Curry, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. White marbled paper and colorful foils matching the different flavors come together to make even this popcorn hater want to dig in.

Cloth Napkins

Fabric napkins equate themselves with a special occasion to me, but it doesn’t really have to be that way does it? I’ve been trying to use the mindset that every day is a good day to use things that feel special, including the cloth napkins in my pantry. Using them for an ordinary Tuesday dinner has the ability to make the pot of soup you’ve been eating for a few days taste 100% better.

Saerom Yoon / Crystal Series

 

Saerom Yoon is an artist based in Seoul, he studied furniture design at Hongik University with a focus on woodworking. In his Crystal Series, Yoon took that knowledge and translated it into acrylics with colorful gradients. In the end its optical illusion that creates the beautifully blended hues. The surface of the acrylic is dyed and once the pieces come together magic occurs.

Quiet Town

 

Quilted and color-blocked canvas shower curtains made in Brooklyn and naturally water resistant. Hand-woven, hand-dyed cotton kilim bath rugs constructed in India. Custom, local dye jobs that allow risks to be taken and lower our environmental impact. I can’t find one thing not to like about Quiet Town‘s collection of bath textiles.

Jaq Chartier

 

Jaq Chartier‘s paintings explore two of my favorite things – scientific method and paint. Each of her works is a test meant to discover something new about materials and what they do. Inspired in part by images of DNA gel electrophoresis, Chartier investigates the migration of various stains through layers of paint and acrylic gels.

On the Hunt: Headboard Edition

I’ve only had two real beds in my life, a cherrywood sleigh daybed and a curved iron headboard that I’ve had since my mid-20s. (The cheap-o bed frame that I had in college and grad school certainly doesn’t count!) Right now I’m in the midst of a bedroom redo – plenty more on that to come – and am on the hunt for a new headboard, something more boho chic that reflects what my style has evolved into over the past decade.

André Schulze

 

German artist André Schulze takes his inspiration from the East German landscape and architecture he encounters biking around Dresden. After photographing industrial architecture, rail architecture, nameless buildings, and typical houses, Schulze turns them into paintings to preserve what is slowly disappearing from the East German landscape.
