Switch Sticky Notes

Yet another clever sticky note design. The staple stationery item becomes even more functional in the form of Switch Notes. This pad of sticky notes has a hole in the middle, just the right size to fix to a traditional light switch. There is even a small lip at the top to store your pen or pencil behind.

No one leaves the house with the lights on (I hope...) so no excuse for not getting things done!

Check it out.

The Art Aids Foundation commissions leading artists, to go on show in Barcelona

  Elmgreen and Dragset

Barcelona, Spain - The ArtAids Foundation has invited nine internationally acclaimed artists who don’t usually work on the subject of AIDS to create site-specific pieces for You Are Not Alone, an exhibition which will be held at the Fundació Joan Miró of Barcelona from 30 June to 16 September. The ArtAids foundation was set up by the Dutch writer and art collector Han Nefkens, owner of the H+F Collection to raise awareness on the HIV epidemic through art projects. “ArtAids is a unique institution in that it sponsors exhibitions that are geared towards a positive transformation of the public’s perception and understanding of the Aids crisis through something as subtle and complex as art. As an art museum, we can’t but wholeheartedly support constructive projects of such nature.” said Rosa Maria Malet, Director of the Fundació Joan Miró about ArtAids.

You Are Not Alone, curated by Hilde Teerlinck, the Belgium former artistic director of the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion of Barcelona, features the innovative approach to the current status of the disease by a total of fourteen contemporary artists. The nine commissions include installations, photographs and sculptures by Elmgreen & Dragset, Deimantas Narkevicius, Latifa Echakhck, Danh Vo, Jorge Orta, Christodoulos Panayioto etc. alongside pieces from the ArtAids collection which comprises pieces by David Goldblat, Otto Berchem, and Juul Hondlus among many other international artists.

The exhibition will tour to MARCO (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Vigo) in Vigo, Galicia, where it will be on display from October 21, 2011 to late February, 2012.

Maison Martin Margiela steps into interior design...

Maison Martin Margiela steps even further into interior design with another collaboration, this time with the Paris-based hotel ‘la Maison Champs-Elysées’. Located within the historical building of the Maison des Centraliens, at the junction of Avenue Montaigne, the Grand Palais and Place de la Concorde, the hotel is slated to relaunch with the designs from Maison Martin Margiela in July 2011.

The fashion house, won the competition to design the historical part of the building, and has therefore applied its fashion philosophy to the interior of the hotel suites, the restaurant, the smoking room, the bar and the reception area.

I look forward to having a look at it myself...

New Pop'Set exhibition at the Dray Walk Gallery in London

I’ve always been fascinated by origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding without glue or any other substitutes to stick the pieces of papers. Traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era (1603–1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper or using non-square shapes to start with. 

Anyway, I remember well the Japanese Pavillion of the 92's Sevilla exhibition which was featuring a lot of origami sculptures... That was so interesting...

This beautiful art form is the subject of an exhibition at the Dray Walk Gallery, Old Truman Brewery in the so-trendy Brick Lane area of London. The show opens on 1st July and will feature the new Pop’Set’ collection – the most active and creative company in the field of paper design - by Arjowiggins Creative Papers, the C-Myk winners (I am sure you remember my previous post about this creative contest?). This show, which will surely attract a lot of creative art-goers will give them the opportunity to discover more fantastic origami pieces by emerging artists. This exhibition is part of the New Blood 2011 International design exhibition organised by DandAD, an organisation which aims at supporting those who work in and around the creative industries.

S.T Dupont MiniJets

A pretty cool initiative by S.T Dupont. Known for its classic luxury lighters with the signature "clinking" sound once closed, the brand has always aimed for the more "mature" crowd.

Today, S.T Dupont has decided to widen its target to include a younger generation with the launch of their very compact, flashy, spicy and exotic new incarnations. There are 14 trendy colors such as; Fuchsia Buzz, Bleu Eclectique, and Orange Fizz.

To promote the MiniJet series, Dupont has launched a Facebook app whereby you can send coded messages to your list of friends based on the choice of colors you choose. Pretty cool!
