“40″ Greeting Card
Designer: Province
Some of you might be familiar with Province. Owned by Denis Bashev, this five person creative studio has consistently pushed concepts to the limit, almost always resulting in beautifully crafted solutions. One of their recent projects is “40,” a greeting card that was designed for a 40th birthday. The idea is simple: compare the years spent to annual tree rings. This certainly a gorgeous outcome.

Wired Magazine Candy Numbers
Designer: Massimo Gammacurta
This late 2010 shoot by Massimo Gammacurta is inspired by Gammacurta’s Lolli-POP project. These numbers were shot for product covers as well as for a font related to lollipops for a gift guide. Not only are the forms awesome, but the colors are just fantastic!

Amon Tobin Debuts Some Amazing Set Production
Designer: Amon Tobin’s crew
As many may know, I’m a huge Electronic Dance Music addict. I love to listen, observe, analyze, produce and DJ with EDM and its surrounding culture. Those who are like myself, and even maybe a little less informed about EDM, are surely aware of Deadmau5, and probably for three reasons now days: a big mouse head, really bumping beats, and for DJing in a video cube booth. The Mau5 tweeted a video today that is quite relevant to his DJ booth but definitely a step further than his video screen rubik’s cube booth. Amon Tobin’s deck lies inside a booth that is unbelievable compared to most DJ boothes. Beautiful. Engaging. Overwhelming. I could go on, but at the very core of it all, this DJ booth is a spectacle that truly meshes imagery of all sorts with sounds we don’t often hear yet should. Take a look:

POLYP.lux for School Nite
Designer: SOFTlab
SOFTlab created this awesome entrance to School Nite, an exhibition of site-specific installations. The surface of this piece contains over 1400 battery powered LEDs, designed to light up the entrance for the night.The hanging pieces also blow in the wind, with the intention of slowing down traffic through experience and interaction, rather than typical barriers.
