Father of the ‘Less is more’ principle – this exhibit / installation project is one that I wish I could have seen. He was a master at beautiful in simplicity that is timeless.

When you look at these today – you can’t miss being impressed by this creative giant who is making quite a comeback in the design circles in the past couple of years.

Colour Mania by Viction:ary.

Where the world dances in a veritable kaleidoscope of colours, everything becomes one of its kinds in their unique colours even if they are flat and mute. Taking a glance at a rambling collection of works, extensively covering campaigns, illustrations, branding, packaging, products and more.

It manifests how unicolour designs draw on the essence of nine colours and a rainbow tone, and project powerful impacts in an era ablaze with all sorts of hues.

I’m always on the lookout for inspiring interior spaces. Why? Because they rejuvenate and stimulate how I perceive – as a designer – laying out – the art of using space in a 2d environment. Of course I have a preference for large minimalist rooms w/ touches of memorable furniture and accessories and crammed w/ designy stuff working spaces.

What it teaches me is the relation between forms – shapes – colors and how their arrangement take advantage of challenging spaces.

Have you ever consider doing so?
