DESIGNER TO KNOW: CÉDRIC CHARLIER

If we are talking about ongoing spring and it´s collections,

I have to go back and mention Cédric Charlier.
I was impressed by his Ready-To-Wear collection for this spring,

sporty, boyish and wearable.
Cédric Charlier was the former creative director of Cacharel, 

now works as an signature designer. 

Cédric Charlier’s collection is minimalist design mostly and mostly white.

It exudes the same clean lines as, for example Jil Sander collections.

The collection does not undertake any age,

the last touch to the creation comes according to the user.

Here are a few snapshots of the Spring 2013 collection:

Color Play

I live in a country where most of the year is almost dark,
but three short months, the summer is of continuous light. 
That is why we Scandinavians love the clean, bright colors and white.
We Scandinavians also share a love of nature and playful, child like mind.
Soft values ​​of openness and individuality are the things that are important to us.
Delighted at the beginning of the summer light,
I collected some colorful tidbits of Scandinavian design.

He died in the winter of 2007, but many of his works live on for years to come.

Inspiration Woodpecker

Spring has finally arrived and the light.

Little by little migratory birds start to return and behind the window is a polyphonic concert.

Early in the morning of his existence informs the woodpecker.

Loud ticking sound resounds, as it banging with her beak street lamp.

The best way to inform others that this is his territories.

Beautiful, tall black and white bird, decorated with some of red feathers.

I wanted to copy this handsome bird outfit.

DESIGNER TO KNOW: MUN

Seungji Mun, Product Design, Furniture Design.
Talented young designer has already has been recognized in several international competitions
and for good reason.
His designs are fresh in a new way. Creations are practical, they have humor and joy of life. 
Products that make up the owner's personal image,
and the world, and not just an impressive design home.
I especially fell in love with this chair series called: Four Brothers.

The idea in this new design was that all pieces of wooden plate can work for function of the chair.
So, this design does not make wastage of material.
This design enables to make 4 chairs by using not only one design but also four designs.

‘Four Brothers’ is eco-friendly composed of material to working process
and only use conventional techniques to realize this project.
I am especially fond of these chairs, simple, well-balanced graphic lines
and the point-blank form.

Deja Blue ...

Blue and all shades of it has been the outcast on my color card for a long time.

Years I had nothing else blue than jeans.
The blue color was repulsive and just because throughout the play age
and first school years I had always navy blue clothes.
We did not have school uniforms but my mom thought that blue is classic practical color.
Unfair!

But now after long long time at last I have found again the mysterious beautiful color blue

and and all its spectacular shades of it.

Starry Starry Night ...

Some signs are more important than others.
And there are times when they are more important than in the past.
In general, the star is seen as a sign of Christmas or at least a pattern assigned to winter.
To me, star is sign of light and here in the northern sky
we can see now a gorgeous star pattern.
I hart now all clothes and accessories with star pattern.
I made star shape stamp and renew my grey-dip-dye tunic by stamping it full of black stars.
Next I´ll stamp stars to my grey scarf and golden stars to my light white curtains.

Orange Day

If I look outside it´s still winter, but there is already spring fragrance.
Light increases, and everywhere is a hint of awakening.
Every spring, I wonder how the colors begin to live new way in thoughts.
Blue-grays of winter begin to disappear and will be replaced by sunny, bright, warm colors.
This spring, the two colors in my mind are above all others,
one is orange and the other green.
From everywhere my eyes grabs the most tastiest clothes,
objects, furniture, lighting, decorations
- all in this energetic color orange.
Take a look to my Pinterest and collection Orange
and you find out my this spring obsession.
Orange is the color that easily, even with small pieces
can spice up the appearance as well as your apartment.
